Back By Dark: a true crime Podcast

  Call it what you will: The Flatwoods Monster, The Braxton County Monster, Braxxie, The Flatwoods Phantom, The Frametown Monster….

West Virginia folklore is incredibly varied in that it includes monsters and aliens, cryptids and ghosts. Some of the bigger names that can be included are:The Mothman, The Flatwoods Monster, BigFoot, Skinwalkers, and even the Yeti. Yes, the Yeti. Now one can only hazard a guess as to who saw a Yeti in North America, seeing as how I personally have only heard about those as being native to Asia. 

West Virginia claims some of the oldest mountains in the world, definitely the oldest in the country; even locals will tell of sounds that can be heard in the forest throughout the day as well as into the night. People will tell of sounds and that they were told by their grandmothers to never follow sounds in order to find out what they are and to never whistle when out hiking in the mountains. There are Many mysteries that still abound in them thar hills.

One such local legend has been defining this tiny village of Flatwoods,WV with a population of less than 300 for more than sixty years.

Edmund Emil Kemper III was convicted in 1973 of the murders of seven women and one 15 year old girl between May of 1972 April of 1973. The media later coined the nickname, "The Co-Ed Butcher" and "Co-Ed Butcher" as his preferred victims were female college students that he picked up hitchhiking near the area of the Santa Cruz County, California. This man didn't just stop at murdering these young women , his crimes also included necrophilia, decapitation, dismemberment of his victims, as well as rumors of cannibalism.
