The Mad Gasser of Mattoon

Welcome back to another episode of Cryptid Cocktail Party! This week we take a trip to the great state of Illinois. Home of the Murphysboro Mud Monster, the Enfield Monster, and the subject of this week's episode...The Mad Gasser of Mattoon! Responsible for a rash of attacks in the 1940s and chalked up to mass hysteria, the gasser has been a debated topic for some time, do you think the Mad Gasser was real? Or just a case of mass hysteria and a product of its time?
