Green Clawed Beast of the Ohio River
Every time I learn something about the 1950s, it adds to my already bizarre image of it.

By the mid-1950s, there was a huge ongoing UFO craze leading into the space race between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, the last of the Universal Classic Monsters had debuted in Creature from the Black Lagoon, and Florida was panicking from stories of a killer pink cloud.

The old house remained toward the finish of Willow Road, covered in murkiness and secret. It was a spot the townsfolk murmured regarding in quieted tones, where bizarre events were said to occur. It had been deserted as far back as I could recall, yet I had forever been attracted to it, as though some undetectable power was pulling me closer.
