119: The Cole Hollow Road Monster
Midwest Bigfoot is back, strangers—this time in Central Illinois, with the nickname of CoHoMo (we don’t pick these), a cryptid romp through the wilderness, and a suspicious number of teenagers allowed to investigate and provide tour-guide services to reporters and visitors alike. The 1970s seemed like a good time.
