Sightings:

  • The only confirmed sightings of the Enfield Horror occurred in the town of Enfield in southern Illinois during the early 1970s. Upon hearing reports of the creature, M-Forcers from the St. Louis office travelled to Enfield to investigate. The monster hunters encountered the creature, but it shrugged off bullets and escaped.
  • A “baboon-like” leaping monster was blamed for livestock deaths in nearby Mt. Vernon Illinois in the 1940s, but reports are not detailed enough to determine if this was the same type of creature encountered in Enfield.
  • An M-Forcer from Tennessee who hopped a train to California in the 1960s claims that an old hobo he met along the way told the story of an encounter with a “three-legged pink-eyed so-and-so” that sounds very similar to the Enfield creature. The hobo’s sighting took place sometime in the 1930s near Greeley, Iowa.

Additional Information: Cryptozoologists and folklorists speculate that the creature may be an extraterrestrial of demon, but there is insufficient evidence to confirm either theory.
