Some creatures in the world of Crptozoology are noted for their long necks. We’re talking about lake monsters and sea serpents. For Bigfoot and the Yeti, it’s their towering heights. For the Mothman of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, it’s the red eyes of the monster. There’s something else, too; it’s something that is rarely touched upon. It is, however, well worth addressing. It’s the matter of those monsters that leave creepy, eerie slime behind them as they crawl throughout woods, forests and elsewhere. The stories certainly aren’t huge in number. But, the cases on record are well worth looking into, as they suggest we might be talking about something that had a common ancestry, but that has been overlooked. With that all said, let’s begin. Early one September morning in 1962, an elderly woman who lived in the village of Avebury, England had a shocking encounter with such a monster. She could only describe as a monstrous, writhing worm. The creature, she said, was about five feet long, perhaps eight or nine inches thick, and its skin was milk-white. As she slowly rose to her feet, the creature’s head turned suddenly in her direction and two bulging eyes opened. When it began to move unsteadily towards her in a caterpillar-like fashion, she emitted a hysterical scream and fled the scene. Rushing back home, she slammed the door shut and frantically called a nearby airbase, after having been directed to them by the less-than-impressed local police. On the ground near the standing stone, was a three-foot long trail of a slime-like substance, not unlike that left by a snail. The creature was not found by the military or the police.
