Description
The cryptid's appearance is still debated by locals. Accounts vary, but two of the most agreed-upon versions of the creature are of a tall, hairy, Bigfoot-type, or a "disarranged cow" bovine type.[2] The nearby Bonita Museum & Cultural Center claims to have an unknown humanoid footprint of a creature on display. Many locals attribute this as concrete evidence of the cryptid's existence.[3]
In popular culture
The Proctor Valley Monster has inspired a comic book series produced by Boom! Studios titled "Proctor Valley Road" in which the cryptid is blamed for the disappearances of a group of students participating in a Ghost Tour of the road.[4]
The Bonita Museum & Cultural Center has hosted Film Festivals dedicated to celebrating the Proctor Valley Monster.[5]
