Houston Strange began as a passion project with the aim of collecting and documenting strange, bizarre and unique tales from the Greater Houston Area

“…twenty-five feet away I saw a huge shadow across the lawn. I thought at first it was the magnified reflection of a big moth caught in the nearby street light. Then the shadow seemed to bounce upward into a pecan tree. We all looked up. That’s when we saw it.”

Houston Heights Batman witness accounts from 1953 from Nick Redferns “The Monster Book”

“…Betty drove along Highway FM1485, a road usually used only by people who live in the area because it is so isolated. Although the location is only about thirty miles from Houston… At about 9:00, Colby noticed a bright lighted object above the treetops some distance away. He pointed it out to the others. As they drove on, it appeared to get larger and larger. They realized that the object was approaching the road, but they hoped to get by it in time and leave it behind. But before they could do so, the object straddled the road and blocked their way. The object, many times larger than the car, remained hovering at treetop level and sent down an occasional large cone of fire. In between these blasts it would descend until it was no more than about twenty-five feet off the surface of the road. Vickie described it as "like a diamond of fire."
