An entity who’s aura of fear is matched only by his Klaus Nomi-like sense of fashion. The tale of The Flatwoods Monster is one of the strangest in the history of UFOlogy.
Multiple sightings with multiple eyewitnesses, thoroughly interviewed...
It is an incident that has long fascinated me, so it was particularly thrilling to find myself walking right into the town of Flatwoods so soon after leaving Vault 76.

There are some who like to say the Flatwoods Monster was simply an owl, as if the locals who’ve lived in these areas their entire lives don’t know what an owl is... but let’s say that it was....
Let’s say it was an owl, as some suggest (and this would have to be a pretty insane giant owl)... as a Twin Peaks fan that actually raises far more questions than it answers.
The owls are not what they seem... ;)
I had no idea that the encounters with the Flatwoods Monster and the Mothman both happened so close to each other. It wasn’t until I emerged from Vault 76 and began wandering down Route 88 and 88B (another strange synchronicity for me) that I realized they were connected... and now, the Fallout 76 roleplayers are connected as well...
