One teenager came forward trying to describe this cryptozoological creature. They said it was “nine feet tall and about four feet wide.” This monster of sorts, is physically bigger than any Bigfoot sighting seen.
A theory exists about the origination of The Grafton Monster, some think it was first sighted in Morgantown, West Virginia.
