Tuesday, February 23, 2010 The Monster of Two Egg, Florida?By Dale Cox Two Egg
The Monster of Two Egg, Florida? by Dale Cox Copyright 2010 by Dale Cox All Rights Reserved A strange "mini" Bigfoot creature has been spotted in this Parramore area swamp. February 23, 2010 - Unusual stories are part of the charm of the historic community of Two Egg, but some new ones coming out of an area just seven miles northeast of the main crossroads may just take the cake.
Multiple witnesses now claim to have seen something that can only be described as a monster roaming the woods and swamps between downtown Two Egg and the Chattahoochee River. While the accounts vary somewhat, the strange creature can best be described as a "mini" Bigfoot.
Two accounts that have come to our attention here at www.twoeggfla.com both originate from within one mile of each other, although both are independent and with no connection between the witnesses.
The first eyewitness described hearing a noise outside his home late at night. Going outside to investigate, he says he was stunned to see "something upright, running away on two legs." The creature or monster was of about normal human height and was pale in color. According to the witness, it ran into a marshy area and could be heard splashing away through a pond.
An investigation of the area the next morning revealed tracks leading straight down through the mud into the pond, but it was impossible to determine what might have left them. They were not human footprints, but were too large for a deer or other similar animal. The soft, wet mud had obscured too much of their appearance to determine much more.
The second sighting took place about three- fourths of a mile southwest of the first one and near the intersection of Circle Hill and Oak Grove Roads. An eyewitness saw a small upright creature with long hair running away through a marshy area. It was smaller than average human height, but was running on two legs. The individual relating the story to our website described it as a "hobbit" or "mini" Bigfoot.
The sightings have prompted a great deal of speculation in the area, where strange howlings are often heard in the night. Some are calling it the "North Parramore Hobbit," although the most popular term seems to be the "Two Egg Stump Jumper."
It is worth noting that tales of small bigfoot like creatures are not exactly new in Florida. Residents of South and Central Florida have been reporting an animal they call the "skunk ape" for years. They are, however, very new to the Two Egg area.
Most residents take the stories with a bit of tongue in cheek, but the witnesses very plainly believe they saw something out of the ordinary. "I got a really strange feeling that I was seeing something that wasn't supposed to be there," said one.
As the water level, which is near flood stage, begins to drop, there are plans for a small expedition into some of the area's swamps to see if tracks or any other indication of the creature's identity can be found.

April 2, 2010 - A wildlife camera placed in the swamps near Parramore Landing on Lake Seminole nine miles east of the Two Egg crossroads has captured an unexplained image. Is it the Two Egg Stump Jumper?
