The Chicago Mothman

The witnesses were just as varied, rich and poor, from police and loading dock workers to professional athletes and people just out walking their dogs.Join Creepy Acres' resident Bigfoot, Sam Squatch, as he flies solo hosting this, the season one finale, and just as he is about ready to pull his hair out, he is joined by Laura Kram  to discuss the Chicago Mothman with Fortean researcher, author, and publisher of the syndicated "Phantoms & Monsters" blog, Lon Stickler!
