Le Loyon, also known as The Loyon, is a humanoid entity that is said to roam the woodlands near the Swiss town of Maules.

It is very similar to the North American entity known as the Mad Gasser of Mattoon.

Appearance[]

According to eyewitnesses Le Loyon appears to be a human or humanoid dressed in a boiler suit, and covered in a strange cloak and wears a gas mask over its face. There has been one supposed photograph of the Le Loyon which depicts a strange humanoid figure.

Possible Explanations[]

There are several explanations as to what the creature could be. Theories include:

  • A human prankster
  • Extraterrestrial
  • A hermit, maybe wearing the clothes to hide deformities.

Notable Encounters[]

For 10 years, the Swiss town of Maules has been terrified by a strange figure stalking the woodlands known as Le Loyon. Police have been searching for him (or it) since he was first sighted. He has been walking the same route in the woods every day for a decade, stalking the town from the bushes. His clothes were found in the woodlands with a note reading that "The risk for a hunt for the Beast" was too great and that he would be leaving town.

Trivia[]

  • It has not yet been proven whether or not the said photograph is a hoax.
