Lancaster Chimera

Image
  This was a little known monster that appeared in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania during the summer of 1973, where it terrorized the Amish community. The creature has no official name, but has been referred to as the Amish Country Goat Man, The Mystery Beast and humorously The Goose Grabber. This monster defies categorization and has been lumped in with bit foot, dog man, goat man and the Sheepsquatch, yet it doesn’t neatly fit with any of them. It is a unique being. One thing is for sure, the Amish don’t give up their paranormal stories to outsiders easily. So the fact that they contacted outsiders over these events showed how frightened they were. The first encounter happened to two brothers in the evening, as they were bringing in the hay at the end of the day. While they were working their horses started to startle like a predator was near by. The two brothers went looking for the cause, suspecting a coyote or bear was near. Instead they saw a grey, indistinct bipedal fig...

  Butler county Gargoyle was a winged cryptid seen by several witnesses in Butler County, Pennsylvania during 2011. First witness was a businessman known only as RK. He saw the monster several different occasions. Rk described the monster has being overall humanoid in shape. It had brown or tan leathery skin. The face was small and punched in, with almond shaped eyes that were pointed at the ends. The head was swept back and came to a point at the back, similar to a performance bicycle helmet. The creature also had ears that were long and swept back to points which pointed to the back of the head. The body was very muscular. The arms were longer than a human’s and ended in hands with four fingers and sharp claws. It had very muscular legs, with knees that pointed back in the opposite direction from normal. Most notably were a set of large wings on the creature’s back. These were bat like, with their ends pointing back towards the creature’s head. The first known report of the...

Fayette Dragon

Image
  The case of the Fayette Dragon was reported to Fortean researcher, Stan Gordon. It happened in Fayette County Pennsylvania on March 18, 2012.  At 11:45 a man took his dog out to the front yard to relieve the animal. The night was cold and silent, without any other animals moving about. That silence was then broken by the sound of flapping wings coming from a large creature. The man saw a shadow pass over his house, about 50 feet up. It was 22 feet long, with an 18 foot wingspan. As the beast flew over the man’s house it triggered the motion lights, illuminating it entirely. It was then that the man got a look at the strange creature.  He reported that it looked like a dragon. It had a reptilian head, with a row of spikes under its jaw. There was a cone-like fin sprouting from the back of its head and over the neck. Its arms were attached to its wings, and ended in four clawed fingers. The wing membrane was thick and muscular, unlike that of a bat. The hind legs trai...
