The Flatwoods monster (also known as the Braxton County monster,[1]Braxie,[2] or the Phantom of Flatwoods),[3] in West Virginia folklore, is a creature reported to have been sighted in the town of Flatwoods in Braxton County, West Virginia, United States, on September 12, 1952, after a bright light crossed the night sky. Over 50 years later, investigators suggest the light was a meteor and the creature was a barn owl perched in a tree with shadows making it appear to be a large humanoid.[4]
