Life had been crazy for the Frederick family. Though the place they called home was a typical stretch of rural West Virginia, their backyard had become ground zero in a spectacular series of run-ins with a host of bizarre beings, including a diminutive demon, a hypno-eyed stalk of blood-sucking space celery and one hella-pissy, quasi-corporeal cosmic dignitary. But, as gonzo as the situation already was, things were about to get a lot stranger (and a helluva’ lot more menacing) with a terrifying nocturnal assault by a particularly nasty contingent of the Men in Black.

In the summer of ‘68, while stalking woodchuck in the West Virginia wilds, a teenage Jennings Frederick would come face-to-gargantuan-green-face with a bizarre, blood craving, botanical behemoth who he dubbed the “Vegetable Man.” Though this incredible incident was just the latest in a series of a puzzling paranormal episodes that plagued this young hunter, it would be the one that would—with the help of infamous author and ufologist Gray Barker—forever ever etch Frederick’s name in the hallowed halls of Forteana.

After a series of bizarre UFO sightings, and his mother’s close encounter with a tiny, leash bound devil, it would seem that Jennings Frederick and his family had already maxed out their high strangeness quota. But it turns out that the world of weird was far from finished with this cloistered clan, as an array of eccentric entities were still waiting in the wings.

Joining the venerable ranks of West Virginia’s already extraordinary metaphysical menagerie, the Vegetable Man is a seemingly inexplicable synthesis of animal, plant and predator. But, while a young bow hunter’s run-in with this inexplicable organism is now the stuff of legend, what is less known is the supernatural s***storm that lead up to, and followed, his incredible encounter.
