WAVE 92.7 weatherman saw monkey on 127 at Dunnville

Ed,

I'll be happy to join the guys in Adair County taking the ribbing about seeing a monkey in this area.

Traveling south on US 127 at the bridge in Dunnville, I did observe an animal with monkey characteristics cross the road. It was this past Saturday night (May 24, 2008) at around 9:30 PM CST. A lot of people think I'm nuts about it, but I Know what I saw.



Due to traffic being behind me, I wasn't able to stop and observe what it was.

It wasn't a cat, dog, or bear. It had a tail that resembled a monkey. The short time I saw it moving it appeared to be resemble a monkey.

It was about 4 - 4 1/2 feet long including tail, black and long haired like a monkey.

Unless proven otherwise, I will believe this to be a monkey.

Thanks, Cousin-in-law Wilson. (Dan Wilson is a second cousin of my brother-in-law Peanut McKinley; that makes us kin). All of the reports we've received so far have been from highly respected observers. But we think you add a whole new dimension to the credibility of all the reports, with your scientific background. We couldn't be more elated if Jane Goodall or even Byron Crawford himself sent a monkey sighting! Thanks. I assure you that Jason Cox and Danny Biggerstaff appreciate your affirmation. -EW
