With Halloween approaching, goblins, ghouls and ghosts will be walking the streets in droves. But what about the kinds of monsters that don’t go door-to-door asking for candy?

Believe it or not, Illinois is rife with reported sightings of bizarre creatures. From ones that lurk beneath murky waters and fly in the sky, to bipedal beasts that wander the secluded woods and river valleys across the state, there are witness accounts that date back as far as the 17th century.

Whether these stories derive from local legends, myths or overactive imaginations, you definitely wouldn’t want to stumble upon one of these 10 strange and frightening monsters.

Equally as scary is the thought of the Illiana Expressway actually being constructed. See why one former supporter now says it’s a total waste of taxpayer money.
