The Bubba Effect
Grandmaster
A fellow INGOer used to have a roommate and that roommate had a girlfriend. She told us that when she was a little girl, her and her sister saw one.
It has been awhile since I head the story, but this is how I remember it.
She said that they lived next to an apple orchard. One day the neighbor came over just spitting mad, blaming her and her little sister for tearing up his apple trees. It was nearing harvest time and several of his trees had broken branches. She said that she and her sister protested their innocence, but the neighbor was convinced it was them (not a lot of neighborhood kids, out in the boonies). She said that a few evenings later her sister was looking out the window and said called her over. Out in the orchard, they could see what looked like a tall gorilla and it was walking through the orchard, pulling down a branch here and there and eating the apples, some of the branches breaking. I don't think she saw it again.
She was not shy about telling her story and she was emphatic that it happened.
