Monkey Hunt

I have been watching a lot of The X-Files lately. As someone who loves to believe in improbable things, I feel like this show was made just for me! Why did it take me so long to find out about it? Anyway, I’ve been kind of obsessed…

Here’s my only real life “X-File”… the day that Tess and I went on a monkey hunt.

If you have a real life “X-Files” story, please feed my obsession and share in the comments!

UPDATE: I unearthed the photo we took of the monkey! My memory matched up pretty well, I must say.

Your recreation of the X Files intro is fantastic.

Too fun!. Today’s installment of Nowness was perfect timing, I saw it right after yours. (And I love the brutalist Yugoslavian monuments.)

Great post! My Dad went camping as a child in the woods in SE Georgia. They witnesses foxfire-an eerie phenomena where the trees glowed green in the dark. It scared them so badly they packed up and went home. Becky Pinckney TeaselCreatures

Haha! The truth is out there! My older sister was always telling me tails such as this when I was little.

That racoon was very monkey like…sort of. You did nail him in your presentation. I could hear the eerie whistle music in the background.

I once thought I saw Sasquatch in a forest preserve, but it turned out to be a squirrel.

LOL I always appreciate good visual imagery with stories!

I have loved X Files for a long time, it was definitely my go too in the 90s although if you were to ask me.. remember when Mulder was .. naked/drunk/in a teapot/ with an alien/ with dana scully in a beehive..

I’d be hard pressed to remember all the details :)
