My Story

Born and raised in the small town of Vista, I've always been fascinated by strange and creepy stories. Throughout college, I researched and discovered many untold accounts of monster encounters. Now I collect the true accounts of people who've had encounters with the strange and unexplained. I'm inspired by classic books like the Scary Stories series, the Goosebumps Series, and anything Stephen King, Jules Verne & H.G. Wells. This volume features cryptids and monsters reminiscent of those in the classic Universal Monster movies, each story is its own stand-alone account featuring a unique monster. These encounters will either keep you up at night, make you think, or just creep you out. These are tales that explore the world of cryptids, like The Green-Clawed Beast, The Nameless Horror Of Berkeley Square, The Ghostly Scarecrow, and, The Faceless Horror, just to name a few. The first story features The Metallic Silver-Man, a mysterious creature that lumbers its way through an ordinary man’s life-changing it forever.

Excerpt from the book
Cryptid_Journal-Metal_Man-Creature.png

On the soft, autumn evening of October 17, 1973, Jeff Greenhaw then 26-year-old chief of police of Falkville, AL settles in with his wife for a well-deserved night of rest when just after 10 pm he receives an emergency call. Little could he have imagined that this phone call would change his life forever. The call is from a nearly hysterical (to this day anonymous) woman who claims that an Unidentified Flying Object had landed just outside of town in a field that was situated across from the local Atomic Research Center. Thus begins arguably one of the most bizarre cases of an alien encounter to come out of the American South

 

Although he was off duty, Greenhaw abiding by his sworn duty to protect and serve jumps up, snags his keys, cuffs, revolver, and, almost as an afterthought, his trusty Polaroid camera on the off chance that there might be something worth taking a picture of. He then hops into his truck, radios the call in, and rushes to the location of the alleged flying saucer landing.

 

When Greenhaw arrives on the scene he gets out of his truck and patrols the area but finds nothing out of the ordinary. The chief then returns to his vehicle and decides to take a drive around the field before returning home. Greenhaw cruises around the perimeter of the property, scanning the darkness for anything unusual but sees nothing of note in the murky blackness. He then turns down a narrow, gravel path for one final pass… which is when he comes face to face with something that would challenge his understanding of reality.
