In 1903, the quiet farming town of Van Meter, Iowa, became the epicenter of a mystery that still defies explanation.
Over the course of five nights, respected townspeople—doctors, bankers, merchants—reported seeing a massive winged creature, glowing with an eerie light and impervious to gunfire. It was no bird. It was no man. And when it disappeared into an abandoned mine, the town sealed the entrance shut... permanently.
Today, we retrace the strange events that turned a peaceful prairie town into a place of fear—and gave rise to one of America's most chilling legends.
Was it a hoax? Mass hysteria? Or something that still waits in the dark?
Walk the haunted streets of Van Meter... if you dare.
