The Lore
In April 1973, residents of Enfield, Illinois reported a bizarre creature described as grayish, slimy, 4.5 feet tall, with three legs and short stubby arms. It scratched at doors, hissed, and was shot at by at least one homeowner. After three nights of sightings, it vanished as suddenly as it appeared.
