In the second part of our series on the mysterious visitor to Van
Meter, Iowa, it’s time to wonder how so many credible people
could see a creature so incredible and what that creature could
be. An extant pterosaur, your run-of-the-mill cryptid, a
Keel-like “uttraterrestrial,” something like a tulpa or an
egregore, or simply a transdimensional interloper from the sacred
and mystical bowels of the earth? Does a hoax that a whole
town would have to be in on even make sense? Could the
gestalt be a little from all of these things? We may never
know precisely what the Van Meter Monster was, but we can learn
how something clinically described as an unusual sensory
experience affects the people who see it. Something else we
can bet on is that, like it or not, we must share our reality
with the surreal, and as rare as it is, people will continue to
see the impossible.
