Episode 29: The DOVER Demon
Mystery Category: Cryptids / One-Night Wonders
The Story: Over the course of 25 hours in 1977, three different teenagers in Dover, Massachusetts, saw the same spindly, glowing-eyed creature. We investigate the "Dover Demon" and its brief, terrifying appearance.
In this super-sized October treat, we explore the legend of one of the United State’s more elusive cryptids:the Dover Demon, who made a one-night-only appearance in 1977.
