Little monkeys and bigger monkeys and ape like creatures have been reported all over North America and many other countries for centuries, this peace will be mostly about apes in North America, now the Sasquatch story will be a peace by itself and is on another part of the site as well as abomanoble snowman yeren and other larger types.
I will go through many places with tales of monkey like creatures and we will go through the evidence and make a conclusion of some sort, many cases have proved the animal was real and was a known species of ape or monkey ,there could possibly be also a unknown primate that was brought over by early traders and the best evidence of a photo besides ones that were caught and found out to be a pet is the Myakka beast more on that later.
Since white man has came to North America tales of apes and Sasquatch like creatures have been in the thousands and in almost all states and provinces, we will start off with different areas they are sighted this is not a full list but enough to give you a idea on how common this is.
Little foots sighting areas in no real order.
Kickapoo creek Illinois and through out the state there have been many older sightings of a small ape like animal from 3 to 5 feet or more in height and the sightings go way back to the 1800s although rare, this whole state has many sightings of unknown small primates as well as regular Sasquatch reports.
Missouri bottom lands, many ape like small creatures have been spotted over the years and often Bigfoot sightings as well ,this area has so many sightings and odd tracks and this place may be a good location to hunt for these apes and see if it is really is a unknown species or simply let go apes from long ago that some how survive.
Vervet monkeys are established and well known populations exist of rhesus monkeys and squirrel monkeys in Florida as well and have been proven to live there, so this shows that monkeys can live in our climate especially southern areas and many tales from Florida of many kinds of apes.
My favorite is the Myakka beast and the best group of photos you can find of a unknown or known primate in the everglades and very highly likely real, here is a poor photo of it ,you can find on the net many sources of this photo and others that show it much better.
The Myakka beast was photographed in a ladies backyard ,it was rummaging around looking for apples and probably about 5 feet tall or so , the photos are very clear and not likely faked ,stories go back to the 1700s of apes being seen in the region.
This animal was not a fake sighting likely and looks to be for sure a real animal, this animal had been bothering this older lady on several occasions stealing her fruit out of her basket, she took photos of it and she phoned the authorities and showed them the photos, it is definitely some kind of close relative to a orangutan or maybe a orangutan it is a close call as to what species, never the less some ape species is living in florida besides sasquatch
Virginia and close by states have tales of a evil monkey that attacks people and many reports exist, it could be a small group of let go apes of some sort or a real wild unknown primate, either case it most likely is based on some kind of ape being seen.
Many hand and knuckle prints and small foot prints that look often like a small child except much wider have been found over the years , prints that look like a orangutan have been found all over the US as well also hair samples that match some species of ape or monkeys and some have not been ever identified and seems to suggest that some unknown ape does live in North America.
Other areas of the country have many tales as well , real old stories that people have known about this ape way before the Bigfoot phenomena, in those days they would mix it all up with reports like big ape seen in swamp, the name Bigfoot did not exist and many of these early tales do not even sound like a Bigfoot they sound more like a ape with odd water like habits or typical swamp like habits , maybe many of the early sightings were of a ape not a Sasquatch?
The Salem daily news in the 1800s reported a 5 foot hairy ape like creature that had fangs and was raiding farms and killing farm animals ,these stories are so many, even from ages ago before the Bigfoot bonanza, another creature reported in Ohio in the late 1800s was supposed to be near 6 feet tall , it looked like a gorilla type animal .
Another tale from the turn of the century in Ohio of a 5 foot smelly hairy ape that walked on all fours ,many of these tales have parts of them that do not fit the Sasquatch phenomena unless they are young Bigfoot children being seen.
In Mississippi old tales seem to suggest that the locals new of a ape like creature and maybe some kind of chimp or a unknown primate may or may not still exist .
All through the bottom lands of the USA there are swamps, bogs etc, these areas have tales of apes between 3 to 6 feet tall and many are said to run on all fours and have been reported since the 1700s in some places now again this shows this phenomena has been around along time with not a proper answer.
Honey island swamplands, many reports of a ape like animal with webbed feet and considering this is only a island maybe some one could put bait out that would be interesting to monkeys or apes , bait like apples, fruits, what have you and maybe this animal is real and could be that some odd eccentric person let go few apes ages ago from some other country or possibly a unknown species of water type ape could live in it undetected.
Also all through the bottom lands and even as far west as Oregon sightings of a water ape like animals have been recorded, even a whole pack of them was reported being spotted on more then several occasions.
They are said to inhabit coastal regions and go up in to the rivers at salmon time, oddly enough there is a fair amount of sea captains that have rescued water apes, by this I mean a species either known or unknown that captains had found or crew members out in the main oceans or sea and along the coasts a few times over the years.
The last few hundred years sightings have been infrequent, even photographic proof of a few of them, one photo showed a species that seemed to have been either a large proboscis type monkey if my memory serves me well .
It was many years ago I seen the photo of one of them,it had a really large nose anyhow or similar species ,others descriptions seem to not fit any known ape?
It could be possible that some times apes are near coast lines around the world were present and maybe a storm or something washes them in to the ocean, they then they get lost and start swimming away from land and end up drifting or swimming maybe hundreds or more miles or sometimes maybe thousands, they find wood or other debris and simply use it as a float device and maybe the ocean currents would sweep the ape in to North America or some other areas and maybe long ago this happened and some how a known or unknown species inhabits the coast line and swamps in some places in North America.
This phenomena occurs more often then known and maybe that is why there is world wide ape reports and Sasquatch like creatures because they all by different storms etc or by trader ships in early days may have run across species that are now extinct or unknown to science yet may have been more common then and maybe some escaped or were let go or some smuggled on ships or slimly possibly a unknown ape with water habits is endemic to north America.
Here further down you will see a typical odd looking composite of a real print found along the coast of BC and similar foot prints have been found in Boggie creek and numerous swamps in several states near by also in Illinois, Louisiana and many other swamp and coastal areas , some of these footprints seem to suggest indications of webbing.
Many of these tracks have 4 toe prints ,this could be because the fifth one may not show as they walk or likely if a small percentage of these apes are born with 4 toes then this could be a common trait and one out of every hundred or more apes has this problem , if they live 20- 30- 50 years ,100, what ever the case then they could be responsible for some sightings in a area and then die off years later and another one with the same 4 toes is born and haunts another area for a while sightings happen and then go away again.
If you look at even Sasquatch reports often they are for a small amount of time then they die off and never to be seen again as well maybe some are caused by weather or other odd occurrences that cause them to loose their baby toe or two toes.
Only some places have common sightings over decades this may be because the habitat is barely suitable enough or suitable enough for them to live year around in the area and most areas only have a few reports , this would explain why these reports come and go they may have a large territory and they would cover it and simply be seen from time to time in areas that they travel through their territory and then if a animal dies out sightings stop or you get the regular 5 toe tracks sightings again if a new one takes over the area,even 3 toe tracks sightings are common, now in humans 4 toes is not that uncommon even 3 toes has happened.
Many animals and even people can have birth defects like this and maybe if the animal covered a few states over a 20 year period or longer then it could be responsible for many sightings and make people think there is groups of them in the bush when maybe it is the same individual in some cases just going to different parts of it's large territory.
The regular five toed Sasquatch like tracks are much more common then these 3 or 4 toed ones on the other hand they may simply only have 4 toes and the 3 toed individuals is the ones with a birth defect, in any case so many of these prints are around and the evidence clearly shows highly likely that a known or unknown form of primate lives in the swamps and coastal areas of the USA besides Sasquatch .
Tiny footprints and knuckle prints.
There have been many ape like foot prints found in the swamp lands of the USA and knuckle prints ,hand prints and even in Canada .one reader sent me this bizarre photo above of some ape like Bigfoot in the Gatineau ,another odd footprint was found around lachute that looks more like a normal bigfoot track ,also there is a ape like baboon like creature reported to be the beast of lachute, a photograph exists of it and a few odd tales of baboon like apes in Wisconsin and a few Canadian provinces and a few other states as well.
This picture looks oddly like the web foot apes reported, this is the strangest track I have ever seen, most likely it is fake but again the wittiness was very serious and very paranoid about giving me allot of info ,you can take this either two ways , he told the truth and does not want people bothering him or maybe because he made it up he does not want to be caught.
I really do not know , he may have been telling the truth? ,another odd print was found in the gatineau hills and some weird creature in Quebec left similar tracks and UFO and officers were chasing it in Quebec , maybe it was one of these water apes or baboon like animal and considering how many proven populations exist of apes living in the wild and surviving as well as tales for years in renfrew county of surviving kangaroos seems to show several species can addapt to colder winters, known groups of apes.
In Texas and Florida and suspected in several other states of groups of wild apes roaming the country side have been recorded of several different species and also known populations in other countries like England with apes and monkeys and even orangutans, wallabies and other odd mammals,so if it can happen there then it could happen some were else you never know.
Wild baboons and all the gang, these may have been reported in your neighborhood, this fellow on the left may be responsible for the beast of lachute sightings, many others like my buddy here Mr gorilla could be responsable,if you look at him little over hundred years ago he was considered a fib made up by travelers and superstitious natives yet here as you can see he is alive and well and he is no harder to think of existing then a Sasquatch or some other ape and maybe a unknown relative of the gorilla or my buddy the orangutan could be responsible for some sightings.
If a group was let go from a private reserve then some wealthy people may do odd things like this and let them go and I cant blame them almost ,the idea of the animal being killed is really hard to take and some may just let them go if they can no longer afford for them.
I will add much more to this peace later, I just wanted for now to touch the subject, if you have any sightings please contact the author with email of your story or photos thank you.
