болото Окефеноки

In 1829 9 February, several Newspapers, including The Statesman and Connecticut Sentinel wrote about the attack of the giant hairy people Okefenoke in the swamp (Okefenokee) in the state of Georgia. The story began after the two men and the boy went to explore the swamp, but noticed large footprints and then decided to return home, fearful of what he saw.

Later, hearing about the huge footprints, many hunters decided to find a mysterious creature. They found the conductor and a group of hunters went in search of the creature deep into the swamp. First, they found large humanlike footprints, and then tracked down and the creature itself. However, the monster decided without a fight, not to surrender and apparently at first they wanted to capture alive, but after he attacked and killed five (!) hunters, he himself also quickly killed, "shot from seven rifles".

The carcass was examined and measured, the creature was the huge growth of 13 feet (almost 4 meters) and from head to toe was covered with rough hair. But after that, the surviving hunters as quickly as possible left the swamps, leaving the battle and the bodies of dead comrades and the carcass of a monster. People were afraid that his action would be giving in to the evil forces and bring disaster on himself.

If it was all exactly as described or there is a lot of exaggeration or this is all fiction, is unknown. But the local Indians regularly watched and watch in these marshes the mysterious APE-like creatures.
