So we call him a skunk ape down here. I own a few properties surrounded by the Ocala national forest (300000 acres +-) one property runs down to a swamp, which drains to a lake. Long and short I seen that sum %÷#*@. There is a patch of nasty (jungle central florida pine and saw palmetto for eons, ticks chiggers, 5 or 6 kinds of poisonous snake,, just a nasty strip of wooded swampy mess) woods to the north of one of my places. I was walking the fire road, that splits my property from the forest. 40 yds south east of me I saw movement? End of day losing light, so I walk that way. It just strolled off towards the swamp, LARGE HUMANISH FIGURE, never looked back. Next day I went to the giant oak it stepped out from behind when it walked off. 7+'. Now I ain't gonna lie when I'm over there, which is where my woodshop is, I may indulge in a cold beverage and I may smoke some of that hippie business, so I dont trust my judgement. In my head I know I saw what I saw. Good ole boy up the hill and I are talking one day, he says something about a big pig that had been running around. I tell him my story. He doesn't miss a beat, " yeah I seen that mother#$%÷ down there a few times". I think he is screwing with me. He goes on to tell me first time he saw it he was a boy, and I quote "I still don't go the f out there without my big pistol, suckers worth a fortune". 2 things from that story, central florida is a strange place and my neighbors are fun wierd, the swamp ape may be real, or dude up the road has that

and my grown man imagination turned a couple leaves and squirrel in the bent evening light (thats all that was happening and the squirrel dipped out right b4 it happened) into a giant humanish upright thing?
