The Monster of Coca Cola Ledge in North Adams, Massachusetts

In North Adams, Massachusetts, there's a cliff-face that overlooks the town. It's called Coca Cola Ledge, because decades ago the Coca Cola Company painted a large logo on the cliff as a billboard. The cliff is easily accessible from either side, and the top is said to be home to a monster -- a Bigfoot-type creature who lurks up there to scare away anyone who gets to close.

Lived here my whole life, never heard of any "monster of Coca-Cola ledge"

[@galactic_socialist]

Nobody has really busted that out since the late 80s ever since North Adams state (refuse to call it mcla) made it clear anyone caught scaling (they used to paint the Greek letters for the frats there)

@@galactic_socialist seems to be a tale they used to keep college kids away?

[@Average_FooFighters_Fan]

[@vikingpolo]

My uncle Kyle told me a version of the Coke Ledge monster when I was a kid, but he described it as more of a werewolf type man-beast that would wander around in tattered clothes and holler from the ledge late at night

[@betteannlesnick2824]

I use to hang out with my friends back in the 60's and never did we hear about any monster, we had picnics and just hung out, good old days

[@ColinMoran]

Don't forget the Serpent of Mountain Dew Lake and the Witch of Orange Crush Hollow.

[@atarishaman]

Clearly from the comments it is not a popular or well-circulated legend in North Adams. However, there is a story in the North Adams Transcript as far back as 1965 that references 20 teens camping out there for a monster hunt, so there was some legend at one point, however small

[@amberdigennaro5280]

Iv lived here for 25 years never heard of this "Monster" 🤔🤨🤨🤨

[@MrCatfarmer]

I was born and raised there. Mid 60s I was 11 and got my dumb ass trapped half way down the ledge. Fire department had to rope me down the face of the ledge.
This is the first I’ve heard of this monster.
Now live on a farm in central Illinois and miss home.

[@iidie4]

Legit lived here my whole life as did my family for many generations never heard of this I think ur making it up man

[@Janet_Airlines802]

Lived here 40 years, never heard of that.

[@derrickrexman3824]

Lived there for 12yrs right near there and never heard of it

[@Saturn848]

I've never heard of this "Monster". The Cliff is actually named Witt's Ledge and the Cola-Cola sign was painted on it for the first time in 1915 much to the horror of the citizens of North Adams.

[@lynnsumner5729]

I have been on coco cola ledge!!! Me and my sisters! We are from north Adams,mass

[@KidDizzyProductions]

I explored this area many times. Never heard or seen anything

[@winterspencer2470]

I lived in North Adams all my life and been up there a few time and I’ve never heard of that

[@apocalypsegodxxxpr]

Lived in north Adams off and on most of my life never once herd of this

[@galactic_socialist]

It's fallen out of vouge. Kids used to party up there until the 80's but it's not really a problem anymore. I heard about it several times from several people.

[@Hatch61]

Many of our legends, I'm sure, worked very well as a deterrent to misbehaving children. I still get nightmares from Jeff's Christmas special. Thanks guys.

[@grudgewalk9776]

Nah, that's just Bigfoot.

[@onthegobeats9391]

Resident all my life.. never heard of it.

[@JimsEquipmentShed]

Dude, someone was pulling your leg, never heard of the 'monster'. But I have climbed it several times. (So they might have just seen me.)

[@galactic_socialist]

Did you watch the whole thing? He said it was really made to keep kids away from the ledge. I heard about the "legend" at North Adams state college parties

[@JimsEquipmentShed]

Brian IWW Yea, made by him alone, I have never heard about this in my life, and I’ve been in this area over 50 years.

[@Groundedsquirrel]

I’m from South County and never heard of the alien abductions in Sheffield. Now they are all over the internet.

[@thatsmrharley2u2]

You made this up.

[@jondoe7699]

I grew up as a kid there and it was not painted by the company, no legend about any monster existed! The only true fact about the ledge is that kids like me partied there and a few accidental deaths occurred by falling off the ledge... Look into the Masonic Temple that was a definite sighting for spirits. I as well can confess to the strange appearances that happened during my childhood growing up on Church Street and playing ball there with my childhood friends...

Legand false.go up there.cops will throw you out.or off.! We do have the hoosac tunnel.longest man made train tunnel of it's time.5 miles,and haunted.

[@BRAINCELL44]

If you looked up at the ledge now or any time in the past few years you will see a American flag flying high and no matter how many times it has been messed with and or taken down good ol Chip will always go on back up there and fix or replace the flag !

[@Tchernobog]

coca-cola should make it into a film

[@CmdrVOODOO]

Nope, never heard of it. There is no such legend.

[@galactic_socialist]

There's definitely something in the woods of North Adams especially where they meet Vermont's forests. When I was a kid in the 70's and 80's there were several times I am sure I was being shadowed by something walking the trails behind the school and the state park. although I never felt threatened so perhaps it was something positive. I've always thought it was some type of Bigfoot type cryptid. Even think I saw it once when I was about 12

[@Groundedsquirrel]

I experienced that many a time growing up in South County as well

[@Dcat75thunder]

Yup it is true. It captured me and hung me upside down in its ice cave. Don't worry I quickly grabbed my lightsaber cut myself down and cut off its arm. That was a close one.

[@shannonsantelli7622]

This is a lie. I live 10 minutes from the ledge. I grew up there too...and so did my mother. Nobody that lives here has ever heard of this. LAME

Where did this 'fake' story come from?

[@ZeekChic]

Y’all, just because you’ve never heard of it doesn’t mean it’s not true lol I’ve lived here for a few years and I heard about this within months of moving here.

[@Groundedsquirrel]

That’s because it’s a new story! Not a legend.

[@CL-yb9jn]

Are you making this up for clicks? I’m looking forward to a response

[@Tchernobog]

come back on ghost adventure i know u do research behind scenes but not in front of lense

[@HouseCallAutoRepair]

False story. I'm 54 and never heard this crap!

[@papergirl106]

There is no legend of a monster on Coca-Cola Ledge and there was no Coca-Cola sign painted on there in the 1950s. The sign was back in the 1910s and was only there a few years.

[@galactic_socialist]

You could see it back in the 70s but not well

[@bcrusher1979]

There was never a sign. But, it was only there a few years.
