1855: J. W. McHenri, a resident of Waldoboro, Maine, allegedly captures a hairy humanoid creature about 18 inches tall. A four-month delay in publication of the news, finally announced by the Washington State Pioneer and Democrat on May 12—some 2,500 miles distant from the site of the supposed event—strongly suggests a "silly season" hoax.

VEGETABLE MAN

West Virginia is well-known for its anomalies.  John Keel felt it was a "window area" into which transdimensional creatures might be expected to wander.  This particular creature was reportedly seen there in 1968 and it is one that may be labeled outstandingly weird.

In that year one Jennings Frederick was out in the woods.  He became aware of a peculiar sound.  Then he saw the creature: it looked like the stalk of a plant with eyes, long ears and thin arms and legs.  On the end of each arm there were three fingers with suckers at their tips.  This creature somehow intimated to Frederick that it mewant no harm, but it required medical help.  It extended its arms so that the suckers drew blood out of his flesh.  It used an hypnotic technique to stop his feeling pain.  After about a minute the creature fled and Frederick felt some pain.  As he wended his way back home, Frederick heard a humming sound, which he suspected was some conveyance in which the creature was taking off.

2012: After a brief delay of 51 years, a witness from Queens, New York, reports a "giant bird" sighting from 1961, occurring around lunchtime as he walked home from kindergarten classes. He describes the creature as a "large white bird, huge wingspan, not unusually marked," and larger than any bird he'd seen before or since. A passing mail carrier also saw the creature, but apparently failed to report it.
