Water Devil
by JT
My great grandfather has always told me a certain story that sends chills down my spine whenever I'm next to water. This is how my grandpa told the story:
It was late April, 1930. My great grandfather was in Mexico, helping his friend build a house. He had heard reported sightings of a creature in the water that had been eating animals near the lake. Even some children would go missing. My great grandpa paid no attention; he was there for a job. However, he soon became fascinated. The house he was building was near the lake, so he sometimes overheard residents talking about this creature.
One day, My great grandpa woke up to see many people gathering around the lake. He walked to see what was happening. Some residents had several dead lambs in their arms. It turned out that the residents had injected the lambs with poison or fed it to them, and they smothered the lambs with their own blood. That night, the townsfolk tossed the lambs into the lake, hoping to catch this creature.
When morning came, the residents came to see the lambs.... The creature was floating on the surface of the lake. It looked like a large monkey. It was about five feet tall, had thick, brown, wet hair, and had rows of sharp and yellow teeth. This was nothing that anyone had seen before. Had a monkey adapted to water? Or was it even a monkey? This strange creature still haunts my mind to this day. There are still lots of creatures undiscovered in the seas, oceans, and lakes, waiting to be found.
