The Black Flash

By Crusader1307

 This legend goes back to 1939 and Provincetown, New York. Akin to Spring Heeled Jack (MM), The Black Flash was said to be a spirit that was able of moving at extreme speed (and being seen as little more than a black shadow . The Flash would suddenly stop in front of his intended victim, and appear as an otherworldy, humanoid with glowing blue eyes and a evil smile . The Flash was latter seen in both The East and West End of Lower New York City. So serious was the Flash problem, that Police from three States were on the look out for this elusive creature. Later (1940), the Flash was dismissed as a prank. However, some 400 reports were made (by very credible witnesses).
