Chapter 51

Epilogue

"Okay, and welcome back to another episode of Kurt's World. I, of course, am your host, Kurt
Anderson. Thanks for tuning in to this, my sixteenth video.

Now, on last week's video I did a documentary on the infamous Island of Dolls. Then the missing and
abandoned cargo ship that was found wrecked in the Atlantic back in 1979.

Not to toot my own horn, but I got a lot of likes for my episode of the creepy clown in Illinois a year ago.
Yeah, a lot of people seemed to get a real jolt out of that one. I appreciate all the love and support for
my channel, everyone.

But, today I thought I'd take a break from the norm and touch on a subject that, to be perfectly honest,
really shocked the heck outta me. Out of all of the research that I do on a daily basis, this story I
stumbled upon recently really took me by surprise. And believe me when I say, I never saw this one
coming. This particular story actually took place right here in my own hometown of Cypress, Ohio, way
back in the 1970's. 1977 to be exact.

Like I said, I'm gonna take a little detour to fill you, my viewers, in on something really bizarre. And
when you hear it, you won't believe it. Trust me, I'm still having a hard time trying to believe it myself,
and I was born and raised here in Cypress.

Where do I begin? Well, way back in 1977, a rash of brutal animal slayings occurred here; several in
Cuyahoga County, as well as numerous ones here in town. What makes this really amazing is that no
one till this very day talks about this. I had to actually go down to the library and do some extensive
research just to get all the info I needed.

Mind you, both my parents and grandparents were born and raised here in Cypress and they don't
even talk about it. I feel like this is a Freddy Krueger scenario; the more people don't discuss it, the less



likely he'll show up.

But anyways, way back in 1977, apparently there was this kidnapper guy who ended up getting what
he deserved and more when some giant animal broke into his home and tore him limb from limb. Then
the thing went and killed some family just down the road from where the kidnapper once lived. Then, a
few months later, in the summer of that same year, more of these animals appeared and started killing
people all over again. They even managed to kill some folks at my old high school.

Don't get me wrong, we kids heard of little fairy tales here and there about someone getting murdered
inside that old school, but I never imagined it was for real!

Then the things attacked a women's shelter and a roller rink before the cops finally found their hideout.

There's a whole lot of craziness that took place with this, including some black guy getting killed, racial
tensions and the mayor's sons selling drugs. But one of the things that's really messed up is that these
things even killed kids. They didn't spare anyone or anything. It's really a tragic story, and you can
check out the entire video and investigation when you click on the box on the top right hand corner of
your screen.

But I just think that it's stunning to know that after all my life living in this town, I just recently happened
upon all of this. I've read reports of these things being really big. I mean giant grizzly bear big. How can
something that size get away with so much mayhem?

Apparently there were a lot of conspiracy theorists back then who believed it was this and it was that.
But let's face it, it was the nineteen-seventies. Those people also believed that smoking while pregnant
was okay. But just to know that this was under my nose the entire time is just amazing.

I asked my grandmother about this and she said she remembered every last bit of it. She said that she
even remembered the towers where the animals were holed up at, and how they were all torn down
right after the things escaped.



But what's really frightening is that as strangely as it all began, was just as bizarre as it all ended. No
one had ever heard from the things ever again after that crazy year. Some people said in old interviews
that they believed Cypress was under a curse or something. Or that someone had let some zoo
animals escape.

But just to think, all of the videos that I've done, added to all the other videos that are out there already
of Bigfoot and other giant and strange beasts roaming the earth, it happened right here! Every time I
think about it I get goose bumps! Heck, I even grew up about two blocks away from the very house
where the black guy was shot and killed!

But that's pretty much it in a nutshell, everyone. The Cypress Murders of 1977, as I like to call it. Take a
look at the documentary; it's about forty-five minutes long. It goes over all the investigations and
slayings from each town and murder site. Tell me what you think.

Oh well, that's gonna do it for me today. Check back next week when I take a look at the haunted cave
in Jamaica that not even National Geographic will go near.

That'll do it for this episode of Kurt's World. Be sure to like, share and subscribe."
