“Feel-good monster story” sounds like an oxymoron and for good reason – there just aren’t many instances of monsters performing good deeds or cryptids saving lives … especially ones whose appearance generated headlines like “Monster Terrifies 6 Kids, a Mom and a Dog,” spawned books and movies and ended up as part of the Project Blue Book investigation. If you haven’t figured out the monster from all of those not-so-subtle hints, today’s caring creature story concerns the Flatwoods Monster, and its good deed involves saving a company in West Virginia from shutting down for good due to the pandemic.
