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. It 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.
