Episode 20: The Tuttle Bottoms Monster, The Enfield Horror, & Other Cryptids of Illinois
While most people are familiar with the Illinois we see in the bright lights of Chicago, the southern part of the state has a more cryptic allure. In the swamplands north of Harrisonburg there are stories of a lumbering creature that makes its way through the Tuttle Bottoms that has been sighted nearly thirty times since the 1960s. In nearby Enfield, a strange three-legged monster caused panic, leading to armed monster-hunting parties roaming along the railway tracks looking for their shot. Tonight on Uncanny America, we take a look at the strange cryptids of southern Illinois.
