Eyewitnesses described a creature unlike anything they’d seen, and the townspeople’s attempts to drive it away only deepened the mystery. Was this bizarre visitor a lost cryptid, a paranormal entity, or something more sinister? Tune in for a spine-chilling dive into one of America’s strangest cryptid encounters — and decide for yourself if the Van Meter Visitor ever truly left.
