Flatwoods monster

The Flatwoods monster is a cryptid seen in the state of West Virginia in 1952.

Information
Despite folklore and other stories making her sound menacing, she's a a rather shy, gentle entity. She doesn't know about all the stories about her, and would probably be freaked out if you told her about them, but at the same time it would also make sense to her why people are scared of her.

Her appearance is said to be "maidish" (at least according to the person writing this), but but isn't an actual maid, she just likes the look of simple maid outfits. She also likes owls  and moths heheh

Backstory(ish)
On an evening in 1952, 3 young people spotted a bright object in the sky. Upon witnessing the object, the children went to their home, where siblings told their mother about seeing an object flying across the sky. From there, the mother accompanied the children, along with a guardsman to locate it.

Their dog ran out of sight and started barking, and moments later came running back. After they reached the top of the hill, they claimed to have seen a large ball of light. However, there was also a horrible mist that made their eyes and noses burn. They noticed more balls of light next to the larger one underneath a nearby tree, pointing a flashlight at it. It then revealed the apparent girl, apparently making a hissing noise and then gliding towards them. She then changed direction out of shyness and left. The group also left from panic.

After encountering this apparent girl, the group suffered an odd sickness.
