THE HORROR IN ENFIELD - Enfield, Illinois (1970 population 764) - On the dark night of April 25th, 1973 a “strange creature” was allegedly encountered by the folks living along these railroad tracks. It was described by shocked local witnesses as being a “three-legged mutant monstrosity” with fierce claws and teeth! This bizarre “horror” reportedly attacked a local boy, terrorized neighborhood pets, and was even fired upon by one frightened homeowner as it tried to claw it’s way into a home! Bizarre “clawed” footprints were found by investigators and police along these rail lines - the likes of which had not been seen. Echoes of horrific screams, presumably from the mutant beast, pierced the night air and were heard by many frightened people throughout the darkened town. Searches for the monster lasted days and involved so many people (running around with guns at night), that they were soon curtailed for public safety. What became of the enigmatic cryptid is not known - it disappeared in the following days and has not been seen since. And, to this day, no one has yet have solved the mystery of the creature that came to be known as the Enfield Horror. We can only guess and wonder.

THE ENFIELD HORROR - Enfield, Illinois - Beginning on the night of April 25th, 1973 a strange creature was encountered by townspeople living along these railroad tracks. The three-legged mutant monstrosity reportedly attacked a young boy, terrorized pets, and was even fired upon by a frightened homeowner at close range. Bizarre tracks were found by investigators and police. Armed search parties hunted the creature for weeks, and saw nothing - yet many did report that they heard the Horror's eerie scream. Noted Fortean writer John Keel searched for the monster, as did famed cryptozoologist Loren Coleman. Eventually reports ceased and the monster vanished back into the darkness - never to be seen again. What this weird creature actually was remains a mystery to this day.

Theories abound, but the strange creature's true nature remains a mystery.
