CINCINNATI (FOX19) – Cincinnati police say they are investigating reports from residents claiming they saw five monkeys on the loose overnight on the city’s west side.
Some residents said they saw monkeys swinging in the trees in St. Joseph’s Cemetery at West Eight Street & Enright Avenue in East Price Hill. One of them, Sammy Trinh, posted a video to Facebook that she says shows the monkeys.

Large Primates? Apes or monkey’s?

Why do news people think they are so funny and always make stupid jokes????????
Lisa B
I thought the same thing Richard!

Cant find any follow up news stories.. did they find them? Still on the loose?
Goma D
I never heard anymore about that story or a follow up. Very strange. Plus that women who said it was taller than her garbage can with long arms?
Richard W
News people! First objective is to make it funny. Sure, someone let five pets loose.

I know. It is VERY aggravating to hear a report & the “reporters” laughing. What’s wrong with people?

I wonder if it’s really monkeys or if it’s some other creatures (Bigfoot) that supposedly don’t exist

God, I hate the media.

Anyone see tails there?

When the lady described the size and shape of the one by the trash can, I realized it wasn’t just a monkey. Typical behavior to lurk around trash cans and try to stand still as to not be seen.
I wonder if they were young, desperate for food or traveling through the area that had them out in plain sight?

The ‘real’ news should be presented in that fashion..this story sounds a lot more plausible than the nonsense they usually churn out haha
Love and Peace for all

I do not know what was videod and seen by the residents, just shows cell phones are a poor choice for night photography. However I also find this appalling the way they treated this story, laughs and jokes and snickers towards citizen residents who were serious. This area of Cincinnati is not one in which I would expect any bigfoots, to close to downtown and a congested area, but who knows. Most of the Bigfoot reports from Cincinnati come from the far eastern and NE suburbs and outlaying communities.

I live on the KY side of Cincinnati. The consensus is that they are someone’s “pets” that broke loose and since they weren’t legal, no one is coming forward. So many people here have exotic pets that aren’t allowed. There is a good sized nature preserve south of Price Hill where they could get lost for a long time if they were able to find food. I know we’re sensitive to media stupidity, but these were really just monkeys or chimps, not bigfoot babies. They would have had to travel a long ways from any wilderness to get to Price Hill.

Oh dear, sorry all. I take back that last statement. Just read a few definitely urban encounters, a couple of them in our area, which is super cool. I’m sorry for making a judgement that was over simplified. (Still feel like it’s escaped captive animals though)

Chimps can be very dangerous and aggressive. They should have been euthanized by wildlife personnel. No business being on the loose in an urban area.

This is a wild story. The one standing by the trash can though, she said its taller than the can, thats a tall monkey?!
