Monsters Involved:
Phantom Kangaroo- Weird animals are always popping up where they don’t belong...why just the other day I saw a dude jogging with a Yorkshire Terrier.
Drunk Driving Aliens- There was a train crash in Paintsville, KY. in 2002. The conductor of the train has reported seeing a UFO traveling along the tracks apparently unaware of the oncoming train. The UFO clipped the locomotive and two coal cars (which since have been reported missing). In my time in Kentucky, my guess would be that someone had a few too many bourbons while watching the Kentucky basketball game and got a little reckless on the way home...could be the conductor...could be an alien.
Herrington Lake Monster- There is a former professor at the University of Kentucky who had a summer house on the shore of Herrington Lake, which was formed after a dam was built over the Dix River. This professor swore that a river monster had been hiding in a cave for hundreds of years, and only came out because his hideout was now under water. All the professor ever saw was a curly tail and a pig like snout. (BTW’s we have wild boars here in Kentucky)Artwork Details
