HELP WANTED: Mysterious Creature

HELP WANTED:
Mysterious Creature

You live in a small town or rural area that needs a great infusion of economic development... money, in other words. So you and the rest of the townsfolk decide to invent a monster. It's sure to attract tourism.

But how do you keep up the illusion? What sorts of manufactured evidence is the town able to produce to attract the right sort of investigator? How do you go about grabbing headlines?

What complications result? Think on a personal level for individual characters as well as for the town. Does greed factor in?

And what if a character discovers something real? What if incidents begin to occur? What if things get genuinely scary? What or who is behind it?

Inspiration for this post comes from THIS NEWS ARTICLE.
