Pickerington Main

Meeting Room C

Author and paranormal researcher James Willis will share stories of monsters and cryptids across the US.

The United States is a unique place. So, it would stand to reason that we have more than our fair share of strange monsters and cryptids. Sure, we have Bigfoot and all his hairy relatives, including the Skunk Ape. But there’s so much more!!

Get ready to dive into the thrilling world of cryptids! Discover beastly legends like the Beast of Bray Road and the Beast of Bladenboro. Explore encounters with strange beings, including the Lake Worth Monster, Chupacabras, and the infamous Jersey Devil. Venture even deeper into the unknown with tales of Skinwalkers, the Dover Demon, and the mysterious Van Meter Visitor. Join us for a fascinating and spine-tingling presentation that brings these cryptid mysteries to life—you won’t want to miss it!
