Woman Surprises a Skunk Ape – Large, hairy ape-like creatures have been reported in every state of the U.S. In the Pacific northwest it’s called Sasquatch. In places like Ohio it’s known as Bigfoot. But in Florida and a few other southern states, the tall, upright walking hominid is called the Skunk Ape. A highly credible sighting of the Skunk Ape was reported in August by Jennifer Ward as she was driving home with her children on a dark rural road. It was crouching in a ditch, but as she slowed her car to see it better, the creature stood to its full six- to eight-foot height. “When he saw me, he was as surprised as I was,†Ward told the newspapers. She described it as being covered almost completely with dark hair about two inches long, white areas around the eyes, and full lips that had the color and texture of the pad on a dog’s paw. This kind of detail is most compelling and is good evidence that there really are unknown creatures out there
