Thinker Thunker writes “A man hunting wild boar comes upon something down by the water he can’t explain. Here I do my best to stabilize, zoom and enhance the footage in an attempt to give us all a better look.”
The original YouTuber writes “Here is exactly what I seen, I’m not sure what it is but can someone please tell me? Is there a person who can do video analyses or something? I got scared and ran away, i wish i stayed to keep taking the movie.

Where: about 9 miles west of Tunica, Mississippi on my hunting property
Time: about 6pm
I was out hunting hogs, just sitting in a part of the swamp i have heard em before…it is not too far from a road. I was wearing hunting camo and just sitting dead still waiting for it to get dark, cause thats when the hogs come out. I hear a noise behind the tree i was sitting on, i thought it was the hogs, when i got around i could not believe my own two eyes.
There was this huge black thing crouched by a dead cypress about 50 yards away, i thought it was a hog but saw these big shoulders and a head upright with hands. It looked like it was digging out the stump. My first instinct was to run, i did not even think of shooting…then i know no one will believe me…it was like everything slowed down…i was scared! I took out my iphone and started videotaping it..i guess i pushed the record button twice cause it stopped blinking red.. but i pushed it again. I hear a truck driving down the road and the thing stood up!! I was trying to be dead quiet…when it stood up i could not control myself and ran. That stump was huge and i’d guess the sucker was 7feet tall, i am a hunter and am pretty darn good at guessing size.
that’s no bear!
I don’t know what to think.. if someone can tell me what it is or if somone was trying to prank me i, I don’t want to go back on my land. this is the first movie i have ever put on youtube..the video looks better on my phone and computer
I always heard stories of skunk ape and honey island swamp monster from these parts but never thought about it being real ever. Has anyone seen anything like this in Mississippi?”

This is exactly how it feels to see this freaky FREAKY animal alone. It will scare the Shit! out of you.
Tristene M
Good clear video. Bravo sir bravo.
Gabriel H
Agreed. I think it was his balls he was tripping over on the way out…
Dave T
Looks very legit. Another opportunity for perhaps the greatest footage of all time and nope, I’m outta here. This guy wasn’t tripping over his balls on the way out, they shriveled up right before he ran.

I’ll be damned! I think It’s a genuine skunk ape ripping the hell out of that trees rotten trunk for grubs and termites wow! that is not a bear and it quickly stands up to check the surroundings like a secretive animal would do,but as far as feeding behavior goes the animal looks quite content over what it has found inside that tree,the only thing it’s missing is a tablecloth ,salt and pepper ,and some silverware!
Craig D
it’s holding a young one under its left arm. you can see the baby’s head move on its own.
SANDRA E
Craig, I agree…..it looked like he was feeding it. I noticed that the first run-thru. I had to watch it several times as I also saw something gray of light colored standing to his left and it moved to where it was behind a tree. It looked like it had a dog face and upright ears. Look at it again and see what you think.
david s
excellent video in my opinion! What else could it be? It was stripping bark to eat the insects underneath the bark…known BF behavior.
Brian P
When people see them standing up it is said that they use there legs only here is a good example.
Troy k
It is holding a young one!

Omg seen it before on ipad but now on 65inch tv. That guy was very close. Well done
Sheila J
Yes, I think it’s holding a young one with left arm, too.
John S
He asked if anyone has seen one near this area. I’ve see a few in different areas in the Louisiana Mississippi and Arkansas areas. I never spoke up because I have one proof and the ridicule of others. So I can say yes I’ve seen them.
