Mill Race Monster/Hairy Green Monster Of Millrace Park

The Mill Race Monster is a creature sighted in Columbus Indiana 1974. It was described as a green-colored hairy humanoid creature. Some claim the creature was actually a man wearing a green mask and green blankets. It stood six feet tall with a large frame and had long red hair hanging in its face. Some believed this creature would hide in a lagoon in Flatrock, while others suggested it had a lair in the dense woods. It was sighted multiple times roaming Columbus, Indiana near Millrace Park. A large group of armed men searched for the monster, with concerns they may kill a person playing a prank. It supposedly left paw prints on the hood of a car and scared six women on the night of November 1st. A dogcatcher witnessed the monster while trying to rescue two cats stuck up a tree. When he approached the creature, it took off moving as fast as a deer. The cats were rescued and were noted to be remarkably terrified. Since the witness had a tranquilizer gun for dogs, he stated he’d try to shoot it with that if he saw the creature again.
