The swamp is really alot longer north to south than just 20 miles. The Pearl River which formed the swamp begins well north of Jackson MS , and ends at the gulf. There have been many bigfoot reports over the years from every county that this river system runs through.

Also, check out the GCBRO website. You will find that there have been dozens of sightings all throughout MS that are almost all located along very small creeks; the bottoms of which are often only 100 yards or so wide.

Look also at Google Earth to get a good idea of how large the Honey Island swamp really is. It’s fun, fast, and free!

In the late 90’s I went on a “Honey Island Swamp Monster Tour” and while the swamp is beautiful the only monsters they showed us were alligators, not even a discussion of any other monster that might be out there. But maybe if I had told the guide I was a tourist and not a local (I grew up in Slidell) I would have gotten all the good tales.

Cool pix of the monster’s face. Poor guy looks like the skeeters ate his face off. Swamp thangs are good to have around if you are making some home brew or if you are growing Cajun weed. They do a good job of keeping the non-local populace out of your business. How many “Booger Swamps” can you name in the South? There’s one only a mile from my home and its has a history of a cryptid scaring the bejesus out of people for over a hundred years.

Don’t get me wrong, though, I would love to be wrong on this and have these creatures be proven to exist.

It is a large area, but considering the type of cryptid they are claiming, a breeding population of large hairy bipeds? Is this a large enough area for that? How long could a group of gorillas for example remain hidden and undiscovered in such an amount of area? They roam over hundreds of square miles. Bears require a large amount of territory as well. When I think along these lines, the sheer amount of space some of these creatures need to survive and the species that go extinct even with 20 by 7 miles of land, it just doesn’t seem like a big area to me.

Honey Island is not a very good location for a large cryptid. Though it is mostly uncorrupted it is very heavily hunted. It is a favorite spot of duck and deer hunters. Sightings of bears are very common during hunting season. I have a strong inclination that the Honey Island Monster is either a mistaken bear or a hoax that developed from the old cajun stories of the rou ga rou.

Too small of an area? The Honey Island Swamp is over 20 miles long by nearly 7 miles wide. Sounds like a fairly large area to me…

Also, I have read a lot of eyewitness testimony that points to this being a reptoid, or bipedal reptillian. The tracks also seem to hint at that. Yet this article says that the footage is of a hairy biped and other reports are of a hairy biped. Are there two distinct types of cryptids represented in the swamp?

The Honey Island Swamp Monster is an interesting story, but I’ve always thought it is a bit of a small area to support a breeding population of undiscovered hairy bipeds. Whenever I read stories about this, I get the feels of a good ole yarn around a campfire. A bit skeptical on this one, but being out there in that swamp would still give me the willies.

Sounds like a good location for the Ivory Bill.
