TIME:
11:00 AM
LOCATION:
Levy County, Florida
TERRAIN:
Wooded area, marshy swamp areas, mostly hunting traffic
OBSERVED:
One day in the fall of 2000, while hunting, I was standing on the dirt
road that surrounded the wooded hunting area. We were all spaced a few
yards apart and out of each others line of sight and shooting lane. As
I was listening for the dogs and looking up and down the wood line, hopefully
for my shot at the deer, I caught something out of the corner of my eye
on my left side. The road that I was on was just wide enough to fit two
full-size trucks passing each other, and the “swamp monkey”, that’s what
we all called the, supposedly made up animal that lived in this area, crossed
the road in two strides. It looked like it could have been about 6 ½
- 7’ tall. It had such a thick build with gray hair or fur covering all
of its body. A somewhat fluid stride for it’s massive size. Not knowing
what I actually saw and wondering if maybe it was hunters from another
camp, I turned around and started to walk to the person that was closest
to me in the other direction… hoping that they had a tuck that I could
ride back to camp with them in, being the only female and not knowing exactly
who or what it was that I saw, I thought it best to go find someone else
from the camp at that moment to be around. The day was a nice cool, bright
fall day, approximately 11:00 am. That night at camp over dinner I had
told the others what I had seen and they all said that I saw my first “swamp
monkey”.
Activities of Witness:
Hunting with dogs ... all hunters were lined up along the road
Description of Creature:
Approx. 6 1/2 - 7' tall... greyish in color, easy fluid movements crossing
road, walked upright..... SILENT. no sound coming out of the woods on the
leaves or going in.
Other Notes:
On a more personal note , and to the point. I had my period both days.
Other (Informational or Encounter
History in the General Area) Notes:
I have heard of other people in the camp joking of the "swamp monkey" but
not sure if any have actually encountered.
