In 1894 Hunters Encountered the Skunk Ape in the Everglades.

In 1894, three hunters pushed deep into the Florida Everglades in search of game, hides, and an easy season’s pay. What they found instead was something the swamp had been hiding for far longer than any trail or map could explain.

This immersive historical horror story retells a chilling encounter with the legendary Skunk Ape, a massive, apelike creature said to roam the swamps of the southeastern United States. As the hunters move farther from civilization, strange signs begin to appear—vanishing game trails, a trained hunting dog refusing to advance, and a foul stench that seems to follow them through the waterlogged wilderness.

What starts as a routine hunting expedition slowly turns into a desperate fight for survival as the men realize they are no longer alone, and that the Everglades may belong to something far stronger, smarter, and more territorial than they ever imagined.
