Personally, I seriously doubt it has much validity to it, if indeed any (as I noted in my article). I certainly don’t think there’s any way – AT ALL – that the story can be accepted literally. It is indeed just way too “campfire”-style to be the literal truth.

Could it have been based on some more down to earth event that got mutated and distorted over time? I supppose so. But, I would be surprised if it was.

Great story, but in my view it’s too great to be accepted for what it claims to be.

It could be the kind of thing also that at one time there was a kernel of truth in some part of that story, but over the years it was subjected to the equivalent of the “telephone game” to the point that it was twisted beyond all reasoning. Now, as to whether the ‘kernel’ was cryptozoological or not…who knows…but at any rate, this has more the making of a spooky campfire story.

However, there have been plenty of stories of winged things and especially in the southern U.S. and Mexico region.

i agree with zabo. this sounds more like a cheap horror film then an actual encounter… while it is interesting, they lost me when the said all of the witnesses died. what about relatives of the witnesses? surely they would have been able to vouch for them, that is, if it really happened. it may be possible for something like this to exist, but i honestly think this is just another urban myth

what made me a non-believer was when they said two of them seen the old cryptic sisters grinning at the windows. i don’t know about you, but i would of been scared of the 8ft. monsters! and wouldn’t have seen no windows. my eyes would have seen if i was to be eaten or chased by the things! long story short! i have a hard time believing this little ditty~peace

oh yeah didn’t he talk about this in his book “Memoirs of a Monster Hunter”? its in the chapter appropriately titled “Two Winged Things and A Wedding”.

Urban myth started by kids being frightened by cranes, perhaps? Some of their calls can be rather terrifying if you don’t realize what it’s actually coming from. And not to be catty, but since this happened in the 60′s at an old house in the middle of nowhere, it may be safe to err on the side of ‘illicit products had been consumed’ as playing a part in this story.
