It has been yet another nice day out today and a perfect night for paranormal investigating so I decided to bring Champ and Imp for a late adventure to Dover, MA not to check out a haunted place though but to check out the area where sightings of a certain creature took place back in 1977. California along with much of the Pacific Northwest has Bigfoot, Mexico has Chupacabra, West Virginia has the Mothman, Michigan has the Dogman, New Jersey has Jersey Devil, Arkansas has the Fouke Monster, Wisconsin has Beast of Bray Road and here in Massachusetts we have the 'Dover Demon'. On the late night of April 21, 1977 three teenagers were driving down Farm Street in the suburb of Dover, MA. On one side of the dark road were houses, on the other was a short stone fence separating the road from an empty field. The driver of the car, William Bartlett, spotted a strange creature scrabbling on all fours atop the stone fence. Bartlett drew a picture of what he saw. Two hours later on April 22 and about a mile away from the first sighting there was another teenager walking home on Miller Hill Road, which intersects with Farm Street. His name was John Baxter and he saw a diminutive figure coming toward him. Thinking it was a kid he knew, he called out to him. The figure didn't respond and when they were fifteen feet away from each other, Baxter realized the thing wasn't human. It ran off on two legs and Baxter pursued it for a few steps before reconsidering. The creature stopped briefly on a rock and Baxter saw it's long toes wrap around the rock and it's upper limbs wrap around a tree and it's eyes glowed frightening Baxter. Baxter ran away, hitched a ride home and drew a picture that matched Bartlett's drawing. On the next night still on April 22, two more teenagers, Abby Brabham and Will Tainter were driving around Dover when they saw a creature in an adjoining field on Springdale Avenue, which also connects to Farm Street. Only Brabham got a good look at the creature, describing it as a hairless tan monkey with an oblong head and it's eyes glowed green. All of these sightings occurred in a little more than twenty-four hours across a stretch of two miles of Dover-and the creature who became known as the 'Dover Demon' was never seen again. It was described as 3-4 feet tall with a baby's body, a large, watermelon-shaped head, long arms and legs and its color was bright peach like almost tan. Other investigators who've looked into the case over the years have stated that the Dover Demon seemed to look like more of an alien than a demon. I agree. By the way everyone I hate to disappoint those who vouched for me to go with the name and title Dylan The Paranormal Investigator but I made an executive decision to go with Dylan The Supernatural Detective because I feel that suits me better since I not only investigate the paranormal but unexplained phenomena too.
