Meeting Room C

Author and paranormal researcher James Willis will share stories of monsters and cryptids in the five states that border Ohio.

Ohio may be home to many fascinating legends, but what happens when its bordering states' monsters and cryptids decide to pay a visit? Imagine a spine-tingling meetup right here in Ohio: Michigan’s Dogman, Dewey Lake Monster, and Pressie. Pennsylvania’s Waterford Sheepman, Raystown Ray, and giant thunderbirds. West Virginia’s Mothman, Flatwoods Monster, and Sheepsquatch. Kentucky’s Kelly-Hopkinsville Goblins, Pope Lick Monster, and werewolves. Indiana’s Beast of Busco, Green Clawed Monster, and Puk-Wud-Jies.

Could they all be converging in Ohio? Come to this presentation and experience the ultimate showdown of strange and mysterious creatures—you won’t want to miss it!
