List of swamp monsters

A swamp monster is depicted in B movies from the fifties as a scaly, grotesque, slimy human-like creature who sometimes might be referred to as a "devil" of sorts. Swamp monsters lurk in bushes to scare people, particularly preying on women; then they crawl back to their murky homes in swamps. The diet of the swamp monster is unknown: some claim he eats humans, or baby alligators, fish, or even cats or dogs which tread too dangerously near the banks of its home.

For many years residents near Honey Island swamp, Louisiana have sworn that they have seen or found evidence of a monster living in the area. The legend of the Honey Island swamp monster originated in 1974 when two air traffic controllers, Harlan E. Ford and Ray Mills swore they stumbled upon giant footprints in the mud next to a slaughtered wild boar. They also claim to have seen a huge, wooly-haired "man-like" creature, with "sickly yellow eyes" and a horrible "death-like stench." Possibly this is a creature similar to, or related to "Bigfoot" or "Sasquatch" some have claimed to have seen throughout the United States including the Pacific Northwest and as far as Vancouver, BC and other parts of Canada.
