Sometime in the late 70s or early 80s, the Young family was wiped out in an attack by the Beast, a “Dogman” or werewolf. The family, visiting from Florida, was found torn to pieces in their RV. The names of the parents aren’t recorded but they had two children, Bradley and Megan. Megan wasn’t with the rest of her family in the RV, though, as her remains had been hauled up into a tree. A police deputy named Philip Douglas and a State trooper named William Folkson discovered the bodies. That’s the story.
What’s that quote from THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE? “When the legend becomes fact, print the legend.”
Here’s some documentation I *was* able to find concerning the Beast. This comes from U.S. Forest Service Public Affairs Specialist Carlin Lewis: “We have no evidence, records, documentation of any validated sightings of the Beast. Some of our staff have worked on Land Between the Lakes for many years. A lot of them know every nook and cranny. They’ve never seen anything that would point back to a beast existing.” Seems conclusive.
So what do you think? Were there killings that were covered up? Or is it all balderdash?
I have watched videos on you tube about this story and NOBODY can get the actual family’s names right or where they lived. My husbands family the Elder’s and the Jolley’s lives in Mayfield and the Fancy Farm area.They love to talk about the scary werewolf stories but they say truth betold the family was killed by the crazy father and the animals tore the bodies apart after they were dead. No girl was found in any tree. But this is Kentucky and you know how people LOVE to talk and tell BIG whoppers.
