Dover Demon

The Dover Demon was sighted on 3 separate occasions in the town of Dover, Massachusetts, in April, 1977. It has remained a subject of interest for Cryptozoologists ever since. Cryptozoologist Loren Coleman was the one who named it the Dover Demon, which the press picked up on and the name stuck.

There is no real evidence to suggest that the creature existed, and there is speculation whether the creature was an alien or some sort of mutant hybrid. No one has been able to prove that this was a hoax either. A possible answer is that it was a newborn moose, as all three sightings were only for a few seconds, and the description of the creature's head matched that of a baby moose.

The Dover Demon bears similarity to the Mannegishi creature, which is native to the Cree Indians in Canada.

History

It was first sighted at night as three 17 year olds drove through the Dover area, when the car's headlights illuminated it. Bill Bartlett, the driver, reported that he saw what he thought at first was a dog or a cat, but upon closer inspection that it was a bizarre, unearthly looking creature.

Bartlett continued to watch the creature, and he reported it to have a disproportionately large, watermelon-shaped head and glowing red eyes. It had long, thin arms and legs with slender fingers, which it used to grasp onto the pavement. It was hairless and had rough, fleshtoned skin. It is also reported that the creature was sighted an hour later, by John Baxter as he was walking home. The next day, Abby Brabham is claimed to have seen a similar looking creature on the side of the road. Her description matched Bartlett's and Baxter's descriptions, except this time it had glowing orange eyes.
