Mad Gasser of Mattoon — He terrorized an entire town. The FBI couldn't solve it.

1944. Mattoon, Illinois. A sweet smell seeps through open windows. People wake up paralyzed — legs numb, unable to move. A witness spots a tall figure in a tight cap vanishing into the night.
Within days, the entire town is armed. The FBI arrives. The Army brings chemical warfare experts. The press calls him "The Mad Gasser."
But here's the thing: it had happened before. Virginia, 1933. And it would happen again — Missouri, 1980s, a man called "Ether Eddie" using the exact same method. Gas-soaked cloths through windows. No theft. No motive. Just... the gas.
The police chief blamed mass hysteria. Fifty years of identical attacks across three states says otherwise.
The Mad Gasser has never been caught.
