Squatchable Exclusive: Jeff's Encounter with the Manura Monster
We've got a chilling tale for all you Bigfoot enthusiasts today! Jeff, a listener who reached out to us, shared his harrowing experience from 1972 in Manura, Ohio - a small town infamous for the Manura Monster.
Jeff grew up in Manura, a town where everyone knows everyone, and he shared stories of his group of friends and their adventures. One day, they stumbled upon an abandoned house about two miles outside of town, which was part of an old apple orchard.
As they explored the house, they picked up a foul odor, assuming it was just a skunk. However, things took a turn when Jeff walked into the house and saw a massive, hairy creature pass by the window. He initially thought it was a bear, but the creature had no arms, legs, or head - just hair.
Jeff yelled "bear," and the group ran out of the house, only to encounter the creature again on the front porch. It was taller than the porch, with hands on the corner of the house and the roof. One of the boys threw a rock at the creature, which enraged it, and it stepped onto the porch, causing it to collapse.
The group ran for their lives, with the creature in hot pursuit. They managed to escape, but their encounter left them shaken. They decided to report the incident to the police, but the police chief dismissed their claims, insisting it was just a bear.
Jeff's story is a chilling reminder of the unexplained phenomena that continue to occur in our world. It's a reminder that there are still mysteries out there, waiting to be uncovered.
