Deep in the woods of West Virginia, there is a legend of a terrifying creature known as the Grafton Monster. It is said to be a nine-foot-tall, four-foot-wide behemoth with pale, slick, rubbery skin and a grotesque, headless body.
The most famous sighting of the Grafton Monster occurred in 1964, when a young newspaper reporter named Robert Cockrell encountered it while driving home from work late at night. Cockrell described the creature as being “the most hideous thing I’ve ever seen.”
He said it had a huge, gaping mouth and two glowing red eyes. Two days later, Cockrell wrote in the Grafton Sentinel newspaper that the creature stood between seven and nine feet tall, had “seal-like” skin, and appeared to be headless. It also produced a whistling sound. According to Cockrell, it scurried off.
Cockrell’s sighting was not the only one. In the years since, there have been numerous reports of people seeing the Grafton Monster, both in Grafton and in the surrounding areas. Some witnesses have said that the creature is headless, while others have said that it has a small, reptilian head.
