"BASHFUL BILLY" Alien of Wheeling, WV

The Braxton County Monster

--REVISED EDITION--

"BASHFUL BILLY" Alien of Wheeling, WV

60th Anniversary Incident

In the aftermath of the terrifying "Flatwoods Monster" and "Frametown Monster" incidents occurring in Braxton County on September 12th and 13th in 1952, yet another alien "Monster" was said to have been sighted in West Virginia on Monday, September 15, 1952.

This incident occurred near Wheeling in the Vineyard Hills Housing Development about five miles from the famous Oglebay Park Resort. Only three days earlier, during the September 12, 1952 UFO flap at Flatwoods, a damaged UFO had gone down in the Oglebay Park area. Not as well-known as the two previous Braxton County close encounters recently recounted, this mysterious "Monster" incident also reflects the incidence of being quickly covered-up by officials.

On September 16, 1952, an article on the front page of the Wheeling Intelligencer reported, "'Monster' From Outer Space Arrives Here Via Saucer." The opening stated, "'Bashful Billy,'" the monster from outer space and southern West Virginia, arrived in Wheeling by flying saucer yesterday and promptly set tongues wagging and telephones burning."  Notice the reflex ridicule in the article above. 

The article also stated, "One call to the Intelligencer offices asked if it was true that the horribly burned body of a woman was found at Vineyard Hills and that a policeman was burned mysteriously about the arm... Callers also reported that an unpleasant odor was produced by the monster."  Similar bells seem decidedly rung between this and the previous two affairs at Flatwoods and Frametown.

The Fairmont Times article of September 16, 1952, "Green-Eyed Monster Again Reported on Loose in state," reported that "Bashful Billy" was a "10-foot tall monster from another world" and was said to be "gas-breathing."

Was the "body of a horribly burned woman" really found by the Wheeling locals on the pandemonium that was Monday in Vineyard Hills?  Or, was this the cover story to hide the truth of a horribly burned alien body found there after being dropped off from a damaged UFO three days earlier during the September 12 flap?  Curious and more curious, still.

The Wheeling Intelligencer continued to follow this "Monster" story. On September 17, 1952, it reported yet two more sightings of another monster called a "roving monster." These sightings occurred on Tuesday September 16, 1952 in nearby Ohio. One caller contacted the Wheeling newspaper and reported that, "his grandchildren were 'almost scared to death' by something they had seen." Another Ohio caller reported, "It was 10-15 feet tall and had a green body and red head."  More familiar bells!

Was this "roving monster" actually another alien looking for the ostensibly stranded alien found dead already by the Wheeling locals the day before?  What was happening "really," in the center of West Virginia?

Read the entire story, all the accompanying articles regarding these amazing incidents, and other documented incidents provoking hapless locals into a terrified frenzy... in Frank Feschino's new book, "The Braxton County Monster-REVISED EDITION-The Cover-up of the Flatwoods Monster Revealed."  This is real.
