The Frankenstein Monster as last seen in 1974. Unsure if this is the same creature spotted in Highland USA (file photo)
(Transylvania, Romania) It was reported earlier today that the so-called “Frankenstein Monster” was on a rampage through the sleepy burg of Highland, Illinois, USA. Spotted this past weekend, the monster was apparently subjected to intense periods of raucous laughter which seemed to soothe the beast. However, as a quiet summer morning dawned on Monday, the creature became agitated. As one homeowner observed, “It’s as though he missed the previous day’s excitement.”
While information from our overseas source is limited and sketchy, it is clear that the grandson of our native Dr. Frankenstein, attempted to recreate the experiments of the good doctor and succeeded to some degree. However, our information is somewhat garbled, because something about singing and dancing is then mentioned. However, with those crazy Americans, you never can tell.
It has been suggested that the creature may make a repeat appearance this weekend in the area near the Highland Elementary Auditorium. Large crowds, anxious to spot the beast, are anticipated and local residents should reserve a prime viewing space early as safe locations are limited. Word on the street is that these admission vouchers can be obtained at www.hardroad.org (although this rumor is unsubstantiated and people are encouraged to check it out for themselves).
Further bulletins will be issued as more information becomes available.
