West Virginia is also a very beautiful in it's own way state. Kind of like new jersey. I've been to both,and both are very nice. The main difference is jersey can be a bit more congested especially close to NYC.

I saw a picture of the flat woods monster in a book in my school library when I was 7. The image haunted me for my entire life, I didn’t see the image again for decades until I drew it from memory and found out its name by googling it out age 33. Every time I’d look into a dark garden I’d always taunt myself by imagining its ghostly nun like outline.

My friend took a picture in flatwoods West Virginia of something that looked JUST like this. I never thought this was even possible but if you saw the picture you might second guess it too. She was riding in the woods with a friend and was taking random pictures, once she got home she saw she captured something staring at them from the distance. Very creepy picture!

I think I figured out what the "Flatwood Monster" was: Around the same time as the "Monster" event, early experiments were being conducted with various flying personal backpacks equipped with jet or rocket engines, and also with rocket or jet propelled hovering platforms (like flying Segways. ...It might have been a person flight testing such a device that people saw. This would explain the ability for the monster to seem to hover, the exaust from the engines would have explained the bad smell and haze, and likely the jet pack aeronaut would have worn a helmet and a bulky flightsuit. I don't recall what light or lights the witnesses to the monster saw, but it's possible if the jetpack or personal rocket platform is what they saw, that it might have had some kind of aircraft warning light on it, possibly on the wearer's helmet. ....Actual videos and photos of this device being tested back in the early postwar years can be found on KZbin. You can even see a similarity to someone equipped with the device to many of the drawings made by witnesses of the "monster" they saw. ....Perhaps it was a military or CIA experiment involving such a device, and the military didn't come forward to say what it was because either the device or a mission the pilot was being trained to perform with it was top secret. .....Search the net for "1950s Rocket Pack, Jetpack, JetPack" Another possibility is the "Helivector"

The LORD God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and above all beasts of the field; on your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life. [I WILL PUT ENMITY BETWEEN YOU AND THE WOMAN, AND BETWEEN YOUR OFFSPRING AND HER OFFSPRING]; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.” ~ Genesis 3:14-15 "The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, [AND ALSO AFTERWARD], when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown." ~ Genesis 6:4 "And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, [THEY SHALL MINGLE THEMSELVES WITH THE SEED OF MEN]: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay." ~ Daniel 2:43 The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares ~ "But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.” ~ Matthew 13:25-30 The Parable of the Tares Explained ~ "Then Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.” He answered and said to them: “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. [THE FIELD IS THE WORLD], the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, [BUT THE TARES ARE THE SONS OF THE WICKED ONE. THE ENEMY WHO SOWED THEM IS THE DEVIL], the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels. Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age. The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!" ~ Matthew 13:36-43 "The wicked are estranged from the womb; [THEY GO ASTRAY AS SOON AS THEY ARE BORN, SPEAKING LIES]." ~ Psalm 58:3 "[YOU ARE OF YOUR FATHER THE DEVIL], and the desires of your father you want to do. [HE WAS A MURDERER FROM THE BEGINNING, AND DOES NOT STAND IN THE TRUTH, BECAUSE THERE IS NO TRUTH IN HIM]. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it." ~ John 8:44 "We should not be like Cain, [WHO WAS OF THE EVIL ONE] and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother’s righteous." ~ 1 John 3:12 "Now the serpent was more cunning [THAN ANY BEAST OF THE FIELD] which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?” ~ Genesis 3:1 "[THE BEAST YOU SAW WAS ONCE ALIVE BUT ISN’T NOW.

And the people who belong to this world, whose names were not written in the Book of Life before the world was made, will be amazed at the reappearance [OF THIS BEAST WHO HAD DIED]." ~ Revelation 17:8 The Coming Great Deception ~ "For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness." ~ 2 Thessalonians 2:7-12

THEY LIVE AMONGST US; they're not from other worlds/planets. Almost all ancient cultures around the world (Sumerians, Egyptians, Mayans, Aztecs, Peruvians, Chinese, Japanese, etc) have worshiped these beings as their "gods" since the beginning of time/since the fall happened (Genesis 3). They have always been here with us. The LORD God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and above all beasts of the field; on your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life. [I WILL PUT ENMITY BETWEEN YOU AND THE WOMAN, AND BETWEEN YOUR OFFSPRING AND HER OFFSPRING]; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.” ~ Genesis 3:14-15 "The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, [AND ALSO AFTERWARD], when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them.
