Description
In 1879 the New Orleans Times-Picayune reported that two men, Clouse and Hefner, where fishing in Penny's Slough when they heard horrible screams coming from the nearby native burial ground. Clouse was startled but Hefner merely relayed that, "There's that weird animal again." When asked to elaborate by his friend, Hefner explained that he had seen a weird animal in the area before, about a year previous.

The two men grabbed their guns and went to see if they could capture the unknown animal. Running to the burial ground they encountered the strange armored half-ape, half-canine. It beat it's chest at them like a gorilla as they took aim and when they fired it fell over with a thunk like striking rotten wood.

The Beast raced to a large tree at the center of the graveyard, which it climbed as its pursuers fired their shotguns as fast as they could. When they were depleted of ammo, the men resorted to hacking the tree down in their attempt to capture it. With the tree felled the Beast howled in fear and ran into the woods. It stood just behind the tree-line beating its chest and yelling before eventually retreating for good.

Clouse and Hefner investigated the tree and found a hollow containing a coat sleeve, a wallet and some shiny buttons. Despite being certain they'd hit their target several times no blood was apparent on the ground.
