The Dover Demon is a creature from North American folklore that was reportedly sighted in the town of Dover, Massachusetts, on April 21 and 22, 1977. It is described as having a large head, glowing eyes, and tendril-like fingers. The sightings were primarily reported by teenagers, including William Bartlett, John Baxter, and Abby Brabham, who claimed to have seen the creature under similar circumstances. Their accounts led to a series of sketches, with Bartlett notably declaring his sighting on a stack of Bibles. The sightings were plotted over a two-mile stretch, garnering public attention and being compared to other legendary creatures such as Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster. Some skeptics suggested that the creature might have been misidentified as an animal, such as a foal or a moose calf, while police speculated that the reports could have been a hoax related to school vacation.
