An ominous creature known as the Mogollon Monster is believed to live somewhere in Arizona.
Legend has it that the Mogollon Monster lives somewhere along the Mogollon Rim, a rock that stretches 200 miles across Arizona – though it’s also reportedly been spotted in the Grand Canyon and in the city of Prescott.
An early spotting of the cryptid was allegedly in 1903, when a man told a local newspaper that the monster had “long white hair and a matted beard that reached his knees. He wore no clothing and upon his talon-like fingers were claws at least two inches long.”
According to a recounting of a supposed spotting of the creature in the 1940s, the Mogollon Monster was described as being huge, with deep-set eyes, a hairless face, and massive shoulders and a chest.
To this day, the Mogollon Monster legend continues to linger around the region in Arizona.
