Summary
Few stories have the endurance to last centuries. Fewer still have a proven track record of documented, authoritative eye witness accounts to back them up. Among those rare myths, one stands above most. For nearly 300 years, something has haunted an area of the country that is known for rare and unusual wildlife. So many people have seen it, in fact, that it's almost impossible to deny its existence.

| 0:52.0 | a short video. |
| 0:54.6 | I have no idea what the creature was, or if it even was a living thing at all. |
| 0:59.4 | And I'm not going to discuss it today, or tell you more stories about similar sightings, |
| 1:04.4 | because there aren't any. |
| 1:07.0 | It was a one-off, a random occurrence that had never happened before, and would probably |

| 1:23.7 | pedigree or validity. |
| 1:26.1 | And those stories frustrate me. |
| 1:31.3 | Other stories though, go deep. |
