Series of reports (6) concerning the Skunk Ape. Photos of the creature and footcasts
On July 16, 1997, a tour guide driving tourists along a road stopped near a burned-out bridge and watched an upright, hair-covered creature for about 15 minutes from 70 to 80 yards away. The guide moved the bus forward and backward to give passengers views and tried to get a passenger with a telephoto lens to exit for photos, but no one would leave. The guide then drove away and could not relocate the creature on a later return.
Series of sightings taking place over three days
A woman driving home in the evening saw an ape-like animal peeking from bushes about twenty feet away, which then ran on two legs into dense woods. She returned later with neighbors and from her car saw it again peering from the fork of a tree while others searched on foot. Officers from multiple agencies searched the area that night without locating the animal.
