My name is Thomas and I love the shows. I wanted to submit this story in hopes that it’s good enough for you guys to use. It goes back to 1977 when I was in high school in Taylor County where I grew up in WV. Some friends and I were out doing the usual teenager stuff like trying to impress girls. There was an old legend about a witch that lived back in the woods not far from where we were.
Mind you, I never put too much stock in to anything like that or the paranormal. The girl I liked her name was Missy and someone brought up the Witch’s house wasn’t far. We joked around about who was brave enough to go up there. After some more jokes Missy’s friend Mandy suggested we all stroll up there.
We take off. By this time it’s around 11 pm at night. We get up there and it’s just an old house. Nothing scary or anything. It was a bright moonlight night so we could see pretty clearly. Were joking around when we hear this sound that’s so loud it hurts all our ears. We grab our ears and look in the direction it was coming from but saw nothing. Scared we jump back into the car to speed away. As we’re turning around the headlights fixes upon a creature!
I’m guessing this thing to be 7 to 8 ft tall, greyish colored skin, extremely wide and no head! My buddy Gerald whom was driving screams “THE GRAFTON MONSTER”! I literally couldn’t believe what I was seeing. We sped off and agreed not to tell anyone because technically we were trespassing. But, neither of us ever forgot that night. I’m betting neither of us ever will. Sorry this isn’t very long but, I hope you and Jared enjoy it.
