Not so fake...
Jun 14 2012, 12:57 AM EDT
The 2001 crap is pure hoax manure. What started it in recent times took place in 1992, Upshur County, WV. Those events actually happened. It was all blamed on non-indigenous moutain lions, but eye witnesses say otherwise. Just imagine a large black bear built more like a badger. It tore up a camp ground in broad daylight, killed lots of cattle and dogs, and had everyone afraid to go outside. The area suffered a similar "monster" plight in the late 60's to early 70's with the "Sago Monster". When the spring of '92 outbreak took place it united two generations in their quest to find and destroy the thing. You see, the witness accounts and descriptions were consistent and very similar to the earlier accounts from the past. I was there in '92, my friends and our families took a fevered interest in these events. I was even able to interview several of the witnesses myself. I was living in FL during the 2001 BS. It truly ticked me off that people would do the whole hoax thing and tarnish the "real" stories of the Abbagoochie. The depiction that you have seen is derived from a fun joke played by the associates of the Weston Wal-Mart in Lewis County, WV. Above the sporting goods counter, there was a "jack-a-lope" hanging on the wall. When the '92 stuff happend, someone made a quick and cute little Abbagoochie by putting some arts and craft junk together and mounting it next to the jack-a-lope. But for real, everyone, it happened. Was it a monter type thing? I certainly hope not, but forget 2001! It was spring of 1992 and the thing was described by over 40 people as being the size of a VW Bug and crazed, as though it was rabid or in pain. There's the truth, ...enjoy!

Okay, so you said it was real, then claimed the story in the article was fake and described a completely different creature as being real. The article said it grows to about three feet long and weighs around 35 lbs. You claimed it was the size of a bear, yet built like a badger. Those are either not the same creature, or the story in the article was just babies. Also, both this story and the story in the article are far too convenient. Saying that you experienced it and implying that you just happened to find this thread on the internet (by posting anonymously you imply that you did not already have an account and probably didn't already know about the article). Besides, what evidence can you present that you know more than whomever created the article? Why are you right and not this other person? Don't be discouraged! Very few people would know to avoid this mistake. Next time, if you want people to believe you, find another source that confirms your story. Don't say you were there, say you knew someone who was there (if you were there with people you knew, it would not be a lie), and you saw sufficient evidence to convince you (again, if you were there, then you probably did see such evidence). Make sure your story doesn't argue too much with the article you found, but say that the person you knew described the event differently than the article (You will probably have described the event with them more than once, so any detail could have been said by both of you depending on the occasion, and I'm sure that the proportions will have been blown out of scale in different amounts and maybe even directions by your source in contrast to you and/or the person you know because of the number of retellings and the perspective/perception of the witness to the event.) I have given you tips on how to present a more convincing story than your little campfire-side-story-style post here, please only use this to spread the truth. Do you find this valuable? |
