About this episode
During the summer of 1973, the town of Murphysboro, Illinois, became the epicenter of one of the most infamous cases of monster-mania on record when terrified locals reported a series of extraordinary encounters with a huge, hairy, mud-slathered monstrosity, which tormented the citizens of this small community for near two weeks before its reign of terror abruptly ended, resulting in one of the strangest and, in some ways, most frightening cases in the history of cryptozoology.
