Something terrifying was said to be stalking the woods near Cole Hollow Road in Illinois in the summer of 1972. Witnesses described a huge pale creature, foul-smelling and unnatural, moving through the tree line, near abandoned places, and even along the river. 👣🌫️

In Episode 304 of The Shadow Frequency, Matt Wilson and Juniper Ravenwood investigate the legend of Cohomo: The Cole Hollow Monster — from the wave of frightened monster reports and armed search parties to later claims of hoax, strange lights, and the way fear itself may have helped build the legend. 🌲🔦

Was Cohomo a real creature? A prank that spiraled out of control? Or a local nightmare that took on a life of its own?
