Kinderhook is a quiet, picturesque community found in Columbia County, New York, typified by bubbling streams, thick forests and generational homes. But Kinderhook is much more than a small, rural town. In the 1980s an author and radio broadcaster named Bruce Hallenbeck and his family were beset by continual encounters with a strange, upright creature. The sightings became an international phenomenon, and even stranger, were but one of many odd events chronicled by Hallenbeck and others.
