In 1976, residents around Flintville, Tennessee, began reporting encounters with a huge, hairy creature that seemed to have stepped straight out of a nightmare.
It broke car antennas, damaged vehicles, chased people, and was described as standing seven or eight feet tall. When a mother reported seeing the creature reach toward her four-year-old son, police and armed search parties went looking for it.

Sightings continued for years, with the last reports coming from the Flintville area in the early 1990s.This is the strange tale of the Flintville Monster, another tale from Appalachia.
