This is a true story When I was 12 years old, my brother and a friend planed a fishing trip to our local fishing hole. Before going there, we went to a certain place to brush back leave under an elm tree. Beneath the leaves were an over abundance of night crawlers (worms). For many years people dumped their garbage at the bottom of a high cliff that gave way to a swamp. While at the bottom of the cliff, I had my back to a path that made its way deep into the swampy area. My brother, Stanley, sat in front of me facing a small red hill with pine trees growing on it. Dave, our friend sat to the left of me. We were talking. All of a sudden Stanley turned white from fear. He could not speak. I then ask him strongly, "What is wrong with you?" He could only point. When he did, I turned my head slowly to the left to look behind me. There was a very large creature pulling small trees back as he came over the small, red clay hill. He was ugly and had long reddish brown hair, and it stood about eight feet high. When he saw me looking at him, he stood still for a moment and then increase his advancement toward us. We all were very frightened and made our way up a hill of old rusted cans. I still remember it well, Cans were flying everywhere as we climbed to the top. We did not know what the creature was until much later in life. We saw a film made of one. Right away, my brother said, “That’s what we saw in the swamp!” That creature must have come there for many years looking for food thrown out by people over the years.
