Geographical Index > United States > Louisiana > Ascension Parish > Report # 514 Report # 514 (Class A) Submitted by witness Sherry B. on Wednesday, October 25, 2000. Early evening sighting by motorist near Sorrento (Show Printer-friendly Version) YEAR: 2000 SEASON: Fall MONTH: October DATE: 10-23-2000 STATE: Louisiana COUNTY: Ascension Parish LOCATION DETAILS: From Sorrento, La. heading East 2 miles on Hwy 61 NEAREST TOWN: Sorrento, La NEAREST ROAD: Airline Hwy ( Hwy 61 ) OBSERVED: I was driving home from work and it was about 7 o'clock in the evening. I had my headlights on. I live in Sorrento, La. off of Hwy. 61 (Airline Hwy) About two miles from home (driving west) on 61 I saw a creature. I always look at this time for deer, armadillo, possum, dogs, etc.. While I was looking off the passenger side of the road, this creature sprung up from the ditch. My headlights shined right on the front of it. It was somewhat like a sloth. Hairy all over, but a light gray color. It had a small round head with a brown nose. The eyes did not glow, but were white around them. It had extra long arms and a very thin body. It was at least 6-7 feet tall. I couldn't believe what I had seen. I wanted to turn around, but there was no turn crossing. Alone, I just kept driving. It stood upright and seemed to be leaping up out of the ditch. Its hair was not long and bushy, but sleak and close to the body. I seemed smart. Unlike the sloth, it was man-like. OTHER WITNESSES: Just one witness. I was driving home from work. TIME AND CONDITIONS: 7 pm in the evening. Just getting ENVIRONMENT: There is a canal that runs along Hwy 61. It is swampy and there are cypress trees. Alot of alligators, snakes, and turtles.
