Hey folks, good evening and welcome to Phantoms and Monsters personal reports
I'm Lon Strickler, thank you for joining me. I will narrate several cryptic and unexplained accounts from the archives of Phantoms and
Monsters and the Phantoms and Monsters 14 research case log. Then I will give the chat room the opportunity to ask questions in reference to these reports
So I hope you enjoy it and if you have questions, like I said, between each report, I'll open
it up and allow you to ask questions and I'll do the best I can to explain what had receded
in some of the aspects of the report and things that followed up on
So the first report is about a coastal Mississippi resident who believes they had encountered
a river troll while on their houseboat. Now they took a photo and described what they witnessed and along with the photo, I'm
going to read what they sent me. Now they stated about six years ago, which was 2015, my family lived on our houseboat
on the river in a small town in coastal Mississippi. We were on the deck one evening looking across the river
The tide was low and you could see well into the woods, maybe 25 yards from us, something
bent down near the water drinking. I went and retrieved my binoculars and took a closer look
It was pinkish tan with bulging eyes, funny looking ears, two arms, two legs, and what
appeared to be horns coming out of its head. It had a short round body and it was drinking from the shore
From what I saw, I would swear it was like a troll
It was devil ugly. I took my phone out and took a picture
To this day, anyone I show it to swears it's a river troll
Now living in a houseboat, you see a lot of creepy stuff in the swamp
So there would always be trees or logs laying across the ditches of our 1,000 foot driveway
in the middle of the swamps as it's something put them there to cross the deep parts
You couldn't walk up or down without the eerie feeling of being watched
And it wasn't just me, anyone who came out our way felt it as well
So you would also hear what sounded like monkeys. Sometimes something through a rock could hit my friend
I still own the property and the houseboats, but none of my grown kids will even go out there
I don't share the picture to other people anymore. I don't have to prove anything
I'm just sharing it with you. And I feel as if maybe I'm a lucky one to have been able to be in contact with several
creatures in this world and some twice. So yes, it's blurry and yeah, it's hard to make out, but you can clearly see its reflection
in the water and as it's drinking. Now of course, this witness gave me permission to post this photograph
And I actually, you know, after I posted it, it sat on my blog for a couple of weeks and
all of a sudden it just went viral. This thing was going everywhere. It was all over the place
I must've got about, Oh, I'd say about 50,000 plus page hits off this thing
