The Sugar Flat Road Creature Head now lives at The Little Curiosity Shoppe owned by Amy, a wonderful storyteller and talented writer. We paid a dollar each and she let us into the very tiny museum. Amy told us the story of head, the ghost photos, the two headed turtle, and the other exhibits. Her ghost tour was in our plans but we became distracted and did not get to make it. While the museum is tiny, Amy's stories fill it and more. She is eager to answer questions and make sure you leave intrigued with all of Chattanooga's legends and myths.
Amy did not mind us taking a photo of the head and she signed her book for us. We will be back again and hope she keeps adding to her collection. The museum was easy to find.
[Stephen and Melissa, 05/13/2013]The head is now located at the offices of a ghost tour company on the corner of market st and east 2nd. It cost $1 to see it but Amy does a nice job of telling the story.

Head of a Man Creature I had to take a pilgrimage to see the Head of the Sugar Flat Road Monster, but I wanted to point out that while the head in the window is amazing, there is some really crazy taxidermy on the inside.
[Jacob Krejci, 03/24/2010]The intriguing "Head of the Creature" still sits in the window of Cuz's Antiques! The entire store is filled with beautiful antiques and oddities. My children and I went Sunday to check out the Head and wound up spending 2 hours looking around in the shop. I am going to take all of my out-of-town guests there from now on.
