The Dover Demon

The Description

The Dover Demon is a mysterious creature that

was seen along the roadside three seperate times

near the town of Dover, Massachusetts. As described

by witnesses, the creature is said to have a disproportionately large head and glowing orange eyes. It had lanky arms and legs with very thin fingers.

The Dover Demon was described as flesh colored without a single hair on its body.

First Siting

The first siting of the Dover Demon occured on April 21, 1977 by three seventeen year old boys who were passing through the area, when their headlights passed over the creature. At first they thought it to be a dog or cat, but as they approached it, they realized that it was something strange atop the stone wall along the street.

Second Siting

The second siting of the Dover Demon

happened about and hour after the first

siting by two teenagers once again. John

Baxter, 15, and Pete, Mitchell, 13, were walking

home when they spotted the creature. As

they approached, it ran into a gully and stopped

near a tree.

Third Siting

April 22, 1977, the day after the original siting, Will Traintor, 18, and Abby Brabham, 15, saw the mysterious creature for themselves. Just like the second encounter, these two hadn't heard anything about this creature. They were driving down the road and just happened to see the lifeform lying on the side of the road. Their description of it was nearly identical to that of the other two sitings.

Recently

In May of 2004, a photographer in Chile

was taking pictures of Chilean police

officers on horseback. In one of the

photos, a mysterious creature that looks

like the Dover Demon can be seen in

the background.

Possible Explanations

There are many different theories about what the Dover Demon may or may not be.

  • Many people believe it to be an alien creature that closely resembles the stereotypical "grey" that is often seen in movies.
  • Another theory is that it was transported here from an alternate dimension/ universe through a time warp.
  • Still others think the creature is a mutant hybrid or experiment that escaped a lab.
  • Certain skeptics say it resembles a baby moose.
  • The fact that only teenagers saw the creature leads people to belive it was a hoax.

Lost Tapes Episode

A segment about the Dover Demon

appeared on the Animal Planet show,

Lost Tapes

The Dover Demon certainly is a mystery.

It's hard to find an explanation that makes

perfect sense to me. I tend to doubt the extraterrestrial theory for any mysterious phenomena. I can accept the explanation that it was a teenage prank but then what about the siting in chile? As said in the Lost Tapes episode, the creature can be explained by it being one of many exotic animals, which then would make sense for the siting in Chile. Unless the DOver Demon shows up again, I believe that it will remain a myster forever.
