Cryptid? Alien? Creep? or ALL OF THE ABOVE??    This week we take a look at this unclassified being who sprang up just before Mothman in West Virginia in the late 1960's.   This one is so weird I don't even know how to put words together to describe what we're about to talk about this week.

This week, I'm taking a look at three enigmatic entities! Up first is the Grinning Man, a tall, thin man sporting a shiny green overall suit and a creepy smile, first spotted in Elizabeth, New Jersey. Is this the same entity known as Indrid Cold, the strange being that accompanied the Mothman sightings in Point Pleasant, West Virginia? Next, we examine the Mad Gasser of Mattoon, another tall, thin man, clad in all black, who sprayed sweet-smelling but paralyzing gas into the homes of the residents of Mattoon, Illinois in 1944. Was he just a crazed prankster, or an extraterrestrial visitor? Lastly comes the Enfield Horror, a three-legged abomination with small arms and large eyes that hops long distances. Were the people of Enfield, Illinois visited by a true monster? Or was it just an escaped kangaroo startling an already-frightened family? Let us know what you think of these entities in the comments below! #enigmaticbeings #unsolvedmystery #unexplainedmysteries 2:58 - The Grinning Man & Indrid Cold 13:54 - The Mad Gasser of Mattoon 25:43 - The Enfield Horror Links!

IN THIS EPISODE: We have a story of soldiers and spirits that dates back to the Battle of Antietam Creek, the bloodiest single day of the Civil War. The story of the Irish Brigade – and the ghosts left behind. (“Charge Of The Irish Brigade”) *** The fear of being buried alive has been a constant companion of mankind for as long time as anyone can remember. It's due to this fear that we have safety coffins still in use today, more than 200 years after their invention. (“The Strange History Of Safety Coffins”) *** In one particular hospital, the staff avoid booking people into Room 228 – and for good reason. (“Haunted Hospital Room”) *** A sewing machine salesman sees a car speeding towards him – a car like none he had ever seen. When the passenger gets out, he has a terrifyingly large grin, and spoke to him – but without using any words. (“Indrid Cold: The Grinning Man”) *** Cloven footprints are found in new-fallen snow. That in itself would not be strange, except that the creature that left the prints was only walking on two legs. (“The 1855 Devil's Footprints”) *** What is the earliest memory you have of your childhood? One girl has a memory of floating over her own body – when she was only three years old. But that was only the beginning. (“I Have This Vivid Memory”) *** John Emil List planned the murders so carefully, he almost got away with it. In fact, it took 18 years to catch him. (“John List: The Perfect Family Man Who Killed His Perfect Family”) *** Weirdo family member Kara Moore tells us about the town she grew up in – with too many ghosts and specters to count. (“The Ghost of St. Clair's Defeat”) *** Gangsters, guns and ghosts… they've all resided at Kansas City's Union Station. (“The Kansas City Massacre”) *** If you live in a house that seven generations of your family have lived and died in, you have to expect there might be a little bit of paranormal activity. (“The Spirit Of Our Grandfather Won't Leave Us Alone”) *** Dorothy Dingley haunted a young farm boy back in the 1600's. But now it appears she has come back… or she has never left. (“The Cornish Ghost of Dorothy Dingley”) *** Ghosts have been seen in bathroom… but do ghosts ever need to use the bathroom? It appears one did. (“The Ghost Who Used Our Bathroom”) *** AND MORE!SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“Charge Of The Irish Brigade” written by Troy Taylor: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p3m8t8s“The Strange History of Safety Coffins”: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/46xkwd6v“Haunted Hospital Room”: (link no longer valid)“Indrid Cold: The Grinning Man” written by Les Hewitt: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/45by2wa7“The 1855 Devil's Footprints Mystery” written by Boban Docevski: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/22a9dnmd“I Have This Vivid Memory” was submitted anonymously to https://weirddarkness.com“John List: The Perfect Family Man Who Killed His Perfect Family”: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/392yt322“Haunted Student Apartment Occupied By A Friendly Ghost” submitted anonymously:https://www.myhauntedlifetoo.com/2018/03/20/haunted-student-apartment-occupied-by-a-friendly-ghost/“The Ghost of St. Clair's Defeat” submitted by Kara Moore to WeirdDarkness.com:https://www.myhauntedlifetoo.com/2018/03/19/the-ghosts-of-st-clairs-defeat/“The Spirit Of Our Grandfather Won't Leave Us Alone” written by John Waken:https://www.myhauntedlifetoo.com/2018/03/16/the-spirit-of-our-grandfather-wont-ever-leave-us-in-peace/“The Cornish Ghost of Dorothy Dingley” written by G.

Story One – The Legend of the MothmanIn 1966, the residents of a small town in West Virginia were stalked by seven-foot-tall creature with wings and glowing red eyes. Was he real or just a figment of the imagination? And does recent photographic evidence suggest he may have returned?Story Two – Who was the Grinning Man?Alien? Humanoid cryptid? Man in Black? Hallucination? Or possibly a combination of these? This seven-foot-tall being who sports a menacing inhuman smile and terrorises people in the dead of night by watching them sleep may be known by many names, but he needs only one.

Choreographer Johan Inger's first narrative work is a radically contemporary take on Carmen, which employs Bizet's famous score but draws on the confronting violence of Mérimée's original novella for its story. The ballet earned the Prix Benois de la Danse and is now being presented by The Australian Ballet.Also, Victor Hugo's novel about an orphaned boy whose mouth has been cut into a perpetual grin has been adapted into a musical, The Grinning Man, and we mark the 100th anniversary of The Demon Machine, a dance work by Gertrud Bodenwieser who fled the Nazi occupation of Austria and founded the first modern dance company in Australia.

The Dark Man, the Grinning Man, Omul Negru – the man with the Black Hat has many names. When a shadow archetype manifests, it confronts us with the truth about ourselves. These dark archetypes are already programmed into our core belief system. They do not belong in this dimension but they find ways to get in and appear on the periphery of our vision. Human consciousness is being prepped and readied for the new sphere of influence that seems to be a bit more chaotic and from a darker realm of existence. Tonight on Ground Zero, Clyde Lewis talks with paranormal researcher and author, Heidi Hollis about DARKMAN - A DARK GRINNING MAN IN A HAT.Originally Broadcast On 6/27/22

Have you seen the Grinning Man? The Smiling Man? How is he connected to the Mothman? What if the Mothman is not exactly what witnesses have claimed he is? What if the Mothman is something much more, or less, than what they say? Perhaps he is a lost interdimensional traveler. A being from another realm. Maybe the Mothman is a slave... A slave belonging to or controlled by an ancient and mysterious entity known as the Smiling Horror God. Take a deep dive into this brand new, never before heard alternative theory on the Mothman and what could really be going on around the sightings and tales of this famous, yet elusive, cryptid. Listen as Jon ties the Mothman in with several other cryptids to produce a truly horrifying new idea about who... or what... the Mothman really is. Don't drink the water... and question everything.

Welcome to Phantoms & Monsters 'Personal Reports' - cryptid & unexplained accounts directly from the archives of Phantoms & Monsters, and the Phantoms & Monster Fortean Research team. Narrated by Lon Strickler. Join us in the chat, discuss, and ask me questions about the accounts. Featured in this edition: Who, or what, is the 'Grinning Man?' Most people believe that the nexus of the phenomenon began with Woodrow Derringer's encounter with a supposed extraterrestrial named Indrid Cold. Others have stated that a mysterious "Grinning Man" is said to appear and terrorize UFO witnesses, similar to the 'Men in Black' scenarios. So what is it? Over the years, I have received many eyewitness reports of encounters with bizarre individuals who possessed a wide, almost comical, toothy grin. As a result of these events, the eyewitnesses felt confused and, in most cases, shaken. So sit back, relax, and ponder what I'm about to describe to you. I will present the reports and incidents in detail and answer all questions from the chat room. Hi. My name is Lon Strickler. I hope that you enjoy listening to Phantoms & Monsters Personal Reports.

John is back again, to tell us some spooky stories from a night he spent on Staten Island! While spending the night in an old house in a very old neighborhood, John had some strange encounters. An entity peering into his bedroom. Something slowly but loudly ascending the stairs. Muffled conversations when the only other person in the home was sound asleep. And then the patriarch of the family he was staying with telling John of a strange encounter he had with a bizarre entity, that sounds very much like the legend of the Grinning Man. What do you think of these stories of spooky Staten Island? Let us know in the comments below! #statenisland #ghoststories #paranormal #grinningman #indridcold Links! Follow us on Social media!

In the late 1990s, journalist Brian Bethel documented a frightening encounter with what he termed "black-eyed kids": mysterious beings resembling children that carry with them an aura of malevolence and can be identified by their monotone voices and pitch-black eyes. In writing about his experience, Bethel unwittingly brought into existence one of the most persistent and terrifying urban legends of the last fifty years. But is there any truth to the existence of black-eyed children? And if such creatures do walk the earth by night in search of victims, how far back in history might their origins be traced? Join us as we ponder the possibilities of this uniquely chilling phenomenon.

Tales of a humanoid creature with an inhumanly large grin started surfacing around the same time and in the same place as the infamous Mothman. Known as Indrid Cold, many encounters with this chilling creature have surfaced, spurning speculation on if the creatures presence is malevolent or benevolent.

Indrid Cold, commonly known as The Smiling Man, is an allegedly humanoid entityIndrid Cold AKA The Smiling Man, is an allegedly humanoid entity from a planet named Lanulos in the Genemedes galaxyIndrid Cold, commonly known as The Smiling Man, is an allegedly humanoid entity. The nickname comes from the being's tendency to smile to almost everyone that encountered him. It is said that he still visits West Virginia to this day.DescriptionThe Grinning Man is reported to be human-like in appearance, though is commonly associated with UFO activity and is sometimes believed to be an alien. It is also believed possible that he is connected with the Men In Black. In his first sighting, he was described as being over six feet tall and wearing a reflective, green suit with a black belt. He had a dark complexion and small, beady eyes set far apart. He was described as not having any nose, ears, or hair. [1] In his second known encounter, his suit was said to be blue instead of green, but still retained its reflective property. [2] Along with that he was described as looking perfectly natural with slicked back hair, a coat with the top two buttons unbuttoned, and having pants lighter than the coat but still the same material. He was also described as being quite tan, though not dark, and looking like any normal human being.According to reports made by Woodrow Derenberger, Indrid Cold came from a planet named Lanulos in the Genemedes galaxy, and that there were two other "grinning men" by the names of Demo Hassan and Karl Ardo.First SightingIndrid Cold was first seen on October 16, 1966, when two boys, Martin "Mouse" Munov and James "Jimmy" Yanchitis, in New Jersey were walking on Fourth Street when they saw a surreal figure standing near a fence. As they walked closer, the figure was a tall bald man wearing a metal green suit who was staring right at them with a huge grin. The idiosyncratic man chased them until they got away from him. UFO sightings were also reported around the area. "Jimmy nudged me...and said "Who's that guy standing behind you?" I looked around and there he was...behind that fence. Just standing there. He pivoted around and looked right at us. Then he grinned a big old grin."According to Night Mind, the boys only recalled the more frightening details of their encounter later on. They would recall that the man in the green suit was unusually tall and had unnatural facial features, such as the lack of ears and a nose. Even though most sources mention the New Jersey sighting, Indrid Cold and the grinning man could be completely different entities.Second Sighting On November 2, 1966, in Parkersburg, West Virginia (around the same area and time as the Mothman came about), Woodrow Derenberger was driving his way home on Interstate 77 until he heard a crash. Then, an unidentifiable vehicle appeared to land in front of his truck. He described it as "an old-fashioned kerosene lamp chimney, flaring at both ends, narrowing down to a small neck and then enlarging in a great bulge in the center."[2] The Grinning Man came out of the vehicle with a dark tan, and walked up to Derenberger and telepathically said his name was "Indrid Cold" and he meant no harm. Cold said he just wanted to know more about the human race and he would visit Derenberger again. After the encounter, Derenberger stated that Cold revealed he was from the planet Lanulos in the galaxy of Genemedes. Third SightingDuring the same period in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, the Lilly family had been reporting that poltergeist activity in their home, such as diamond shaped lights. The Lilly's daughter, Linda, was sleeping one night and awoke to see a man standing over her."It was a man, a big man. Very broad. I couldn't see his face very well, but I could see that he was grinning at me. He walked around the bed and stood right over me. I screamed again and hid under the covers, when I looked again he was gone." [2]ExplanationsIt is commonly believed that Indrid may be an alien entity and is supported by its close connection with UFO activity and with Derenberger's sighting. It is also said by Derenberger that the Grinning Man is in fact a species of aliens with multiple "grinning men". Although, this is unlikely unless the aliens are shapeshifters, because it would be almost impossible for a race to take the exact same evolutionary path as us.However, the third sighting by the Lilly family suggests instead that it may be a ghost or spirit of some kind and was connected with poltergeist activity happening in the residence. It may be a prank that went too far, or a man with a mental illness. Others believe that it is a normal human man or a hoax based off of the popularity and fear of the Mothman, who had been first sighted around the same time.Taunia Derenberger mentions in her book[3] that Indrid Cold might also be known as "Valiant Thor", who spent 3 years at the Pentagon.

Actual Interview of Man who claims to have talked to an Alien - Indrid ColdThe odd events began on November 2, 1966, around 7:30pm when Woodrow Derenberger, a salesman for a sewing machine company was returning from Marietta, Ohio to his home in Mineral Wells, West Virginia along Highway I-77. When out of nowhere near Parkersburg, West Virginia another vehicle flew up and passed him. Woodrow described the vehicle as the strangest thing he'd ever seen and said it resembled a "kerosene lamp chimney" and that it was "flying" six inches off the ground. The vehicle came around him, turns sideways across both lanes of the road in front of him, gradually made him slow down to a stop onto the side of the road.After that, a door opens, and a grinning man steps out of the vehicle, the door shuts with a loud "thunk" behind him. A few seconds later the vehicle climbs 40 feet into the air above the highway. Derenberger says that the dark suited man walked to the right side of his truck, spoke to him telepathically, and asked him to roll down his window and was saying that he meant Derenberger no harm. The strange man said that he was called "Cold". Indrid Cold has been linked to real phenomenon and many people claimed to have encountered him. Some say that there is only one grinning man, some say that there are many, but all eyewitnesses agree on one thing, he will scare the hell out of you. Eyewitnesses believe that Indrid Cold is one of the mysterious men in black, an alien, some other unknown creature or all of the above. Wherever Indrid Cold has been seen, UFO sightings, disasters, or other strange phenomenon seems to follow.Indrid Cold, commonly known as The Smiling Man, is an allegedly humanoid entity.

The phenomenon of the Top Hat Man—known also in popular culture as Hat Man, the Smiling Man, and the Grinning Man—is one that bears serious discussion and consideration for anyone interested in urban legends, cryptids, and all things paranormal. In episode 13 of the Castle of Spirits Podcast, ghostkeepers Vince and Jane dip their feet into the icy waters surrounding this fascinating figure of modern folklore, sharing three true stories of people's close encounters with the mysterious hatted shadow being. Is there any connection between the phenomenon and what are known as “runalongs”? And finally, why is it that so many people fear the number 13?Links:The Top Hat Man (story) Top Hat (story) Mr. Cane (story)The Smiling Man (article)The Grinning Man/Indrid Cold (article)Triskaidekaphobia, the Fear of 13 (article) Visit the award-winning Glass Spider Publishing to get your book into the hands of readers worldwide. www.glassspiderpublishing.comDiscover 4,600+ true ghost stories in the Castle of Spirits Librarywww.castleofspirits.com/ghost-storiesSubmit your own true paranormal storywww.castleofspirits.com/submit OR call 801-436-7838.Watch us on YouTube and follow us on Instagram and Facebook @castleofspiritsTheme Music: "Lightless Dawn" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

The Smiling ManAs a night person, Riley would often take walks to pass the time and in the early hours of this particular morning, he was taking one of his usual jaunts around the city. Being a weeknight, the streets were quiet with very little traffic and turning down a side street, something caught his eye down the far end of the street on the same side as the paceman. it was a man, well more of a silhouette, and the silhouette was dancing. A waltz like dance, but with an additional forward stride, a kind of dance and walk at the same time and he was heading in Riley's direction.Thinking the dancer was drunk, he attempted to give him plenty of space to pass by, but the closer he got, the more he realised this person was not in fact drunk, his dancing was extremely fluid and purposeful. He was dressed in an old suit and was tall and thin and continuing to pace towards Blue, his face slowly came into focus. His eyes were wild and wide open, and his was head tilted back as if looking up at the sky. But it was his mouth that really gave pause for concern, it was 'painfully, cartoon wide' a real grin from ear to ear. Taking his eyes off the spectacle before him, Riley quickly crossed the street and glancing behind him he saw the man had stopped dancing and was standing as if to cross the road, one leg poised outstretched, standing directly opposite. He was positioned facing Riley but wasn't looking directly at him, his face was still tilted towards the sky and his wide smile was still present.Resources:Introduction - https://www.reddit.com/r/nosleep/comments/sp9vo/the_smiling_man/Story 1 - https://www.reddit.com/r/freehorrorstories/comments/74rl16/true_the_grinning_man/Story 2 - https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSmilingMan/comments/vdkhx9/i_think_saying_hello_was_a_mistakeThe Grinn - http://www.thegrinn.com/The Somerset Gimp! - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-somerset-63393521Thanks so much for listening and we'll catch up with you again next week for some more true, scary stories.Sarah and Tobie xxJoin us on InstagramJoin us on TwitterJoin us on FacebookVisit our Website Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

In the 1960s there were several sightings of a dapper looking grinning man dubbed Indrid Cold. His appearance, paired with several UFO sightings, created a media frenzy and may have driven one man to lose everything. What do Mothman and Indrid Cold have in common? Find out when Samm and Amy discuss The Grinning Man and his strange appearance in Point Pleasant at the same time as Mothman on the 38th episode of Legend.

Ingred cold, also known as the grinning man, has been spotted in numerous areas around the world, terrifying people with his eerie smile. Some believe that he is a harbinger of death, while others claim that he is simply a harmless prankster. Regardless of his intent, Cold's presence is sure to send a shiver down anyone's spine.

The Dark Man, the Grinning Man, Omul Negru – the man with the Black Hat has many names. When a shadow archetype manifests, it confronts us with the truth about ourselves. These dark archetypes are already programmed into our core belief system. They do not belong in this dimension but they find ways to get in and appear on the periphery of our vision. Human consciousness is being prepped and readied for the new sphere of influence that seems to be a bit more chaotic and from a darker realm of existence. Tonight on Ground Zero, Clyde Lewis talks with paranormal researcher and author, Heidi Hollis about DARKMAN - A DARK GRINNING MAN IN A HAT. #GroundZero #ClydeLewis #DarkMan https://groundzeromedia.org/6-27-22-darkman-a-dark.../ Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis is live M-F from 7-10pm, pacific time, and streamed for free at groundzero.radio.

“INDRID COLD: THE GRINNING MAN” and More Terrifying, True Stories! #WeirdDarknessIN THIS EPISODE: We have a story of soldiers and spirits that dates back to the Battle of Antietam Creek, the bloodiest single day of the Civil War. The story of the Irish Brigade – and the ghosts left behind. (“Charge Of The Irish Brigade”) *** The fear of being buried alive has been a constant companion of mankind for as long time as anyone can remember. It's due to this fear that we have safety coffins still in use today, more than 200 years after their invention. (“The Strange History Of Safety Coffins”) *** In one particular hospital, the staff avoid booking people into Room 228 – and for good reason. (“Haunted Hospital Room”) *** A sewing machine salesman sees a car speeding towards him – a car like none he had ever seen. When the passenger gets out, he has a terrifyingly large grin, and spoke to him – but without using any words. (“Indrid Cold: The Grinning Man”) *** Cloven footprints are found in new-fallen snow. That in itself would not be strange, except that the creature that left the prints was only walking on two legs. (“The 1855 Devil's Footprints”) *** What is the earliest memory you have of your childhood? One girl has a memory of floating over her own body – when she was only three years old. But that was only the beginning. (“I Have This Vivid Memory”) *** John Emil List planned the murders so carefully, he almost got away with it. In fact, it took 18 years to catch him. (“John List: The Perfect Family Man Who Killed His Perfect Family”) *** Weirdo family member Kara Moore tells us about the town she grew up in – with too many ghosts and specters to count. (“The Ghost of St. Clair's Defeat”) *** Gangsters, guns and ghosts… they've all resided at Kansas City's Union Station. (“The Kansas City Massacre”) *** If you live in a house that seven generations of your family have lived and died in, you have to expect there might be a little bit of paranormal activity. (“The Spirit Of Our Grandfather Won't Leave Us Alone”) *** Dorothy Dingley haunted a young farm boy back in the 1600's. But now it appears she has come back… or she has never left. (“The Cornish Ghost of Dorothy Dingley”) *** Ghosts have been seen in bathroom… but do ghosts ever need to use the bathroom? It appears one did.
