Chumming with the Spirits

The Flatwoods Monster, also known as the Braxton County Monster or "Braxxie," is a famous West Virginia cryptid reported on September 12, 1952, in Flatwoods, WV. Witnesses described a 10-foot-tall, hovering creature with a spade-shaped head, glowing red eyes, and a green, metallic body, often associated with a UFO sighting.
At 7:15 p.m., on September 12, 1952, two brothers, Edward and Fred May, and their friend Tommy Hyer, said that they saw a bright object cross the sky and land on the property of local farmer G. Bailey Fisher. The boys went home and told their mother, Kathleen May. The four of them, accompanied by local children Neil Nunley and Ronnie Shaver, and Kathleen's cousin West Virginia National Guardsman Eugene Lemon, went to the Fisher farm in an effort to locate whatever it was that Edward and Fred had claimed to see. The group reached the top of a hill, where Nunley said they saw a pulsing red light. Lemon said he aimed a flashlight in that direction and momentarily saw a tall "man-like figure with a round, red face surrounded by a pointed, hood-like shape".

The "Tonganoxie Split" is a popular Kansas City-area weather legend suggesting that storms approaching from the west often divide or weaken around Tonganoxie, KS, sparing the metro area from severe weather. While often dismissed as folklore, some theories attribute it to urban heat islands or geographical factors, though many meteorologists lack evidence for it.
Key Details About the Phenomenon:
The Legend:
Named after the town of Tonganoxie, located about 28 miles west of Kansas City, the phenomenon is believed to protect the metropolitan area from tornadoes and severe thunderstorms.
Origins:
The myth may stem from a misinterpretation of a 19th-century decree by Delaware Indian Chief Tonganoxie, who reportedly promised "no more storms," likely referring to an end to fighting. Scientific
Debates:
While many meteorologists and scientists, including some from KU, do not find significant evidence for the phenomenon, others suggest that the "urban heat island" effect or localized geography can cause storms to bifurcate. Similar "splitting" effects have been studied in other cities like Indianapolis and St. Louis.
Reality Check:
Despite the legend, severe, damaging tornadoes have directly hit Tonganoxie in the past, such as in May 2000, proving the area is not immune to severe weather.
