Some odd years ago a few friends and I were camping ,
and we saw what looked like a large monkey/gorilla like creature
late at night.
We were like ,12 years old.
It was a full moon ,so we could barely see it ,and it was not alone.
We couldn't see the others but we heard sound and could see
movement.
At first they seemed kind of small ,when bigfoot legends say ther huge.
Then it stood strait up and looked at us from on top of a fallen tree ,
made some noises ,and they disappeared.
I nearly shit myself !
We were kids and it really scared the crap out of us.
Once the sun broke ,we were gone.
Until then we hugged any weapon we could find and stoked the fire.
Nobody at home believed us ."Dumb kids,just afraid of the dark".
Whatever ,we were freaken scared.
A few days later there was an article in the paper about how some
escaped circus monkeys were recovered for some traveling circus.
Yup ,one of them was trained to stand as strait up as possible
and "speak".
They passed right threw the area we camped in.
My father nearly laughed his ass off !
