Certainly, the most famous cryptozoological creature in Southeast Louisiana is the Honey Island Swamp Monster, a humanoid cryptid that has been sighted repeatedly in the Honey Island Swamp near New Orleans. Native American tribes called this creature Letiche. The Cajuns referred to it as the Tainted Keitre. A local legend tells of a train crash in the area in the early twentieth century (early 1900s). A travelling circus was on the train, and from it a group of apes escaped, and interbred with the local alligator population.
The creature is described as bipedal, seven feet (2.2 metres) tall, with gray hair and red eyes. The creature is accompanied by a disgusting smell. Footprints left by the creature have four webbed toes.
The first claimed sighting was in 1963 by Harlan Ford, a retired Air traffic controller who had taken up wildlife photography. After his death in 1980, a reel of Super 8 film showing the creature was found among his belongings.
In 1974 the monster gained national fame after Ford and his friend Billy Mills found unusual footprints in the area, as well as the body of a wild boar whose throat had been gashed. Ford continued to hunt for the creature for the next six years.
Similar creatures have been spotted many times in recent years and are almost certainly relatives of the Sasquatch of the Pacific Northwest and the Skunk Apes of the Central Lowlands.
I have some casts of Swamp Monster tracks that my father took many years ago – would N.O.B.S. be interested in comparing these tracks to others found in the NOLA Metro area?
I have some old casts that my father made of what he claimed to be the Honey Island Swamp Monster – I can give N.O.B.S. access to them if y’all would like to compare them with your recent findings.
Bigfoot is REAL and lives in New Orleans City Park!
I believe that Bigfoot is real because I know what Bigfoot really is. The film that Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin made of Bigfoot is real. Here is what they filmed on October 20 1967 at Bluff Creek, California.
Several thousand years ago there were thousands of slaves that were building two cities. They ran off around the world and started their own countries. When these slaves ran off there was a large grou of men and boys that took off and ended up in Africa. Some of them were giants as tall as 9 ft. or even taller. The giant named Goliath that David killed with his slingshot was 9 ft. tall.
Some of these men and boys went exploring to Borneo and used ropes to catch female orangutans and took them to South America. They had sex with them and eventually created the Indians. The men and boys that stayed in Africa used ropes to catch female gorillas and had sex with them and eventually created the Africans.
When scientists found the bones in Africa they thought we evolved naturally from a female chimpanzee. But it wasn’t a natural evolution it was a man made evolution. That’s where all the Bigfoot and Orangutan creatures come from. They are half man and half gorilla and half man and half orangutan. They use to call the Indians the red man. The orangutan has reddish hair.
When those men bred out the hair the Indian’s skin remained red. The gorilla has black hair and skin. When those men bred out the hair the African’s skin remained black. Some of the Indians and Africans are tall and some of the Bigfoot and Orangutan creatures are tall. They are tall because some of the men that created them were tall.
Some scientists believe that we evolved naturally from a female chimpanzee. Have you ever seen an 8 ft. tall chimpanzee? I haven’t either. Bigfoot came up through Africa and into the United States at the top of Africa when they were connected by land. The Orangutan creatures came up through Central America and into the United States like the Indians did later on.
These creatures were able to travel around the world to other countries because some of the land was connected at the time. The first Europeans that saw the Africans said that some of the African women had genitalia that resembled that of a gorilla. If you look at the nose of a full blooded African and Indian you will notice that it is wide and flat like the gorilla and orangutan’s nose.
The North American Science Institute said that the creature in the Patterson-Gimlin film had both human and gorilla characteristics. That’s because it is a human-gorilla hybrid. In the 1920′s there was a group of scientists in Orange Park, Florida that was said to have created a human-primate hybrid. One of the aging scientist told someone that they did create a human-primate hybrid.
He said that after a few days went by they destroyed it. This was done in secret but the word got out. Scientists have created a hybrid between a goat and a sheep and their genetic code is further apart than a human and primate’s genetic code. The creature that Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin filmed in 1967 was half man and half gorilla.
It was a female Bigfoot that they nicknamed Patty. Patty was not a man in a costume, she is not our missing link and she is not a figment of our imagination. Patty is a creature that was created by men that had sex with female gorillas and orangutans a long time ago. Believe it or not, man created his own evolution. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBcxquJ1J6w&feature=fvwrel
