You have to wonder what became of the monster after harvest? He'd have lost a lot of his cover, just as deer do.

And Michigan has some good ones. Or I may be biased. ;)

Must confess I prefer monsters that could be something real rather than a hoax - even if it's simply a misidentified animal. Didn't realize that corn monsters were a "thing." Here in Texas, I've come across myriad "goat men."

I find monsters that are more likely a hoax interesting because of how their legends can persist.

I love hearing about monsters that are so local to an area, you won't find much on the Internet, but I'm willing to bet anything there is a trove of stories told solely by word of mouth among the residents. And as someone who has walked through a cornfield, I can believe something monstrous stalking the rows.

That's why I think it'd be fun to travel to these places and get my feet on the ground. Unfortunately, that's not in the cards right now.

Are they sure there aren’t just unhoused people in the fields? I wish someone had stopped just to see what happened.

If something came running at me out of the blue, I wouldn't stick around to find out what was going on either. Also, I think the delivery man was alone on the road when he stopped.

Oh no, for sure, running away is the reasonable and intelligent thing to do. I just want to know more, it’s such an interesting mystery.
