A bizarre picture circulating online purportedly shows some kind of humanoid creature that was allegedly spotted by an astounded witness in Mississippi. The peculiar photo (which can be seen below) and an account of the strange sighting was sent to the website Phantoms and Monsters. According to the unnamed individual who shared the image, the incident occurred back in 2015 while the witness and their family were living in a houseboat in coastal Mississippi. On an evening of a particularly low tide, they noticed something peculiar drinking water approximately 25 yards away and, upon taking a closer look with some binoculars, they were astounded by what they saw.
Off in the distance, the witness claims, was an entity that was "pinkish tan with bulging eyes, funny looking ears, two arms and two legs, and what appeared to be horns coming out of its head." While understandably taken aback by the presence of the puzzling being, the confounded observer fortunately had the wherewithal to snap a picture of the puzzling creature that they likened to a 'river troll' that "was devil ugly." To that end, the image accompanying their account shows what appears to be the head of a creature lurking beneath a sizeable branch that extends over some water.
Claiming to have seen "a lot of creepy stuff in the swamp" while living on their houseboat, the witness asserted that "I don't have to prove anything" when it comes to the veracity of the photo. Be that as it may, skeptical observers will no doubt suggest that the oddity in the photo is either a trick of light and shadow that appears to be a creature or perhaps some prosaic animal native to the region and that the witness merely spun a tall tale to accompany the image.
