Summary

Gene and Chris present Chad Lewis, a co-author of "The Van Meter Visitor: A True and Mysterious Encounter with the Unknown." According to Lewis, "for several nights in 1903, the small town of Van Meter, Iowa was terrorized by a giant bat-like creature that emerged from an old abandoned mine. The identity of this mysterious visitor was never discovered." Over 100 years later, Lewis and his fellow paranormal investigators set out to Van Meter to shine a light on this amazingly bizarre and still unexplained case.

and he didn't survive. An unfortunate thing, because the guy wasn't all that old.

1:47.0
