Swamp MONSTER.

We don't have here but in my grandparents house back in my Country, they use to catch big snakes who are eating their chickens..LOL, It's very huge the last time I saw my uncles catch it, and they believe there that when killing snakes, they need to pound the head to destroy the eyes surely so that no reason for him to be alive. they said that, when it happens that the snake survives, it has the best memory to recall the persons who hurt him and attack them to revenge! I do know if it's true!LOL

Not as a kid, but just since we moved to our new house. We live on a lake, and my husband kept saying we had a lake monster. When it froze over this winter, there were strange patterns under the ice, kind of like the pattern moles leave in your lawn. Then, when the water thawed, we'd see something moving very rapidly across the lake and dive under for long periods of time.

We had no idea what it was, so it instantly became the "lake monster".

I was fishing one day on the deck overhanging the lake which is right next to the dock. I saw something out of the corner of my eye under the dock, looked over and saw our "lake monster". It was a beaver!

So, sigh, no more lake monster. But it was fun while it lasted.

We had a little creek on one side of town and there was a troll there that lived under the rickety bridge! That didn't keep us from going there to play but we made darn sure we left before the sun went down!

I grew up in an area that was suburban...
I remember hearing about the alligator that was found in somebody's toilet... I wondered how that happened.

We also heard about rattle snakes where that got into people's houses or that surprised people walking but I did not see one until I was walking in an undeveloped park land when I was older.

And of course there were the stories about the mountain lions and the coyotes which scared people... And up in the mountains there were the stories about the bears breaking into cars etc. and eating people.

We also heard about the cactus that was brought from Arizona and which was filled with eggs hatched by a poisenous spider... There was the story that the eggs hatched and someone died as a result of a bite.

When I visted Vermont, my mother's home state, I delighted in reading about the monsters in Lake Chaplaine, they were similar to the Loch Ness Monster.

No, but we had some pretty big turtles in our swamp. A neighbor kid was always asking me to give him one to take home to his mum because she knew how to make turtle soup. I have never eaten turtle soup. Have you?

Never had anything like this happen to me, but had heard alot of aligators get flushed and wind up in someone's toilet or sewer pipes

no it never happened with me
sweety

I must have had a deprived childhood as we didn't have a 'swamp monster' or even anything other kinds of stuff like that - the only thing we had was a neighbour who was a bit weird but nothing that was scary for us!

Never a swamp monster, but I remember as a little girl pulling hair out of the bathroom plug hole when I pulled up this line of slime which frightened the living daylights out of me! I wouldn't go near that sink for ages!!

no dear it doesn't happened in my life
