heres some infor http://www.americanmonsters.com/monsters/h...mp;idarticle=83
now i live in florida where they have been spotted but have not seen them i dont live in the everglades however

has anyone else encountered them?

Have you noticed any crab people around? Crab people are a sure sign of gatormen!

'Crab people, crab people, taste like crab, walk like people.'

unless youre talking about Emmitt Bejano, then No I havent seen any

atualy i have heared about them !

there is one of them in a museum some where in america....dead of course...its titled "Jake the alligator man"
i wouldnt mind going to see it....but i live in australia....and its in america..*sigh* i can only dream
keep watch this post and ill tell you the mueseum name....wen i find it

Oh common people... gator-men? batman, mothman, bananaman.....

I thought they had all been wiped out by manbearpig ?

The one true statement in the Gatorman link:

"Though many investigators consider the "gatormen" legends to be more a product of modern myth, than that of physical evidence"

My god you'll be telling me that there is a big woolly upright creature next, with a stupid name like bigfoot or someting.....doh

Native Floridian here. Never heard of them. I've seen the picture on the link posted, but that's hoax. Now, I have heard and seen pictures of the Skunkape and I do believe there is one of those.

well the guy above said that there was one in a museum and dont museums get in trouble if they lie?

Nope,But did have a teacher that kinda looked like them

Well that is very strange! No I have not encountered them. I do not wish to encounter them either. lol.

With tales like that, you wonder 'Now why do people live in crowded cities?' That is the stupidest, ugliest, most asenine hoax that could be done to the people of Florida! Whoever did that should be ripped from the living and placed in the depths of Hades! Florida has the largest population of retired citizens. Some of them have fought in wars to protect the little bitty mindlless numbskull that started this masqurading outpouring from the rear end of a buill!

Reminds me of Thinner by Bachman/King when a gypsy puts a curse on a doctor.. his skin hardens, gets scaley.. he turns into an a gator. Lovely.

But, really, the only way for this to work is if they had that disease that hardens your skin into scales. Real life cases of that are pretty freaky but, yeah, I think the only gatorman you'll run into man is a fella with a medical condition.

I think far less of the people who believed this hoax than the actual perpetrater themselves, at least the purpatrater can separate the line between fact and fiction, unlike the simpletons who believed him or her.

at first i look at the title i think of 'gatorade man'

Obviously not, with the new creationism "museum" and all.

Nope, never seen any gatorman, we have no alligator here.

But we got something close to it.


I think they do have something in common.

Doesn't seem too believable.

ITS no Suprise

Okay, at least the loveland frog and lizardman is somewhat much believeable.

Ha, funny enough, the museum you're talking about is in the town I live in, it's called Marshes Free Museum, and it's in Long Beach, Washington. Yeah, Jake the Alligator Man..he's here, he's really small, like a child almost, and it's fake. It's the somewhat mummified remains of a human and an alligator sewn together a looong time ago. The museum is an "oddity" museum, but really it's a giant gift store with a few weird animals on the walls.

Isn't there a lizardman or something like that?

Really! you live there wat a coincidence!! so is the mueseum any good???

Oh that thing! Of course I've seen that Jake the Alligator man!
It's not a mummified human, actually, it's a mummified monkey torso stitched with a young crocodile's body. Sick joke, eh?

Haha! I've always wondered about the individual who 'assembled' it...

Reminds me of that episode of League of Gentlemen where the local store owner sews a pig, a bird and a sheep together to keep tourists away.

this has been proven as like
some person got two dead things, cut them both in half and sewed them together good hoax though

Haha! On the contrary, I'll stand in front of the store for hours, laughing so hard it hurts!

It's ok and all, it's mainly a gift shop, but there are some neat animal "oddities" up on the walls, and like, shark jaws and animals with several heads, and such. also, i was wrong, jake the alligator man is a monkey and alligator sewn together, he's not human at all. it's pretty sick when you think about it. you can get pennies squished with his picture on them at the museum...i'm not sure why..

I was thinking the very same thing..........
