👣 Shadows in the Reeds: Monroe County’s Bigfoot Brush-Up

The sun had just begun its descent when a father and son, out bow fishing near I-75 and LaPlaisance Road, caught more than they bargained for in the swamps of Monroe County. What started as a peaceful evening turned into a brush with the impossible. 🌾🎯

According to the 47-year-old father, the moment unfolded with eerie precision. As his son scanned the waterline, a rustle from the tree line broke the stillness. Then—movement. A hulking figure emerged just beyond the reeds, moving with a speed and fluidity unnatural for something so large. “It looked like a gorilla, but way too tall. Way too fast,” the man recalled. 🦍💨 Towering, dark, and bipedal, the creature disappeared into the marsh with a silence that defied its mass.

The sighting, officially investigated by the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO), has since been listed as a Class A encounter—meaning it involved direct visual observation at close range. 🔎 The witnesses were deemed highly credible. Their story remained consistent across interviews, and their location matched known historical patterns of Midwest Sasquatch activity. 🗺️👀

It’s worth noting: this wasn’t just any woodland trail. The area’s wetlands have long been whispered about among local hunters and night anglers. Some say there’s an old spirit out there—others say it walks on two legs and doesn’t like being seen. 🌙🪵👁️‍🗨️
