I know we will get the Hillibeast jokes and the 'one who shall not be pictured' jokes but does anybody in Illinois remember this one?

There's no telling what one might find wandering the woods in Tazewell County.
Anything south of I-80 might as well be another country.

Could have been my ex-Brother-in-Law.
He was huge, hairy, a little weird, an avid woodsman, and lived in that area all his life.

Is it related to the Boggie Creek creature? He's a legend, you know.

It was described as 10 feet tall. The creature's face had long, gray U-shaped ears and a red mouth with sharp teeth. The reliable citizens said the creature possessed thumbs with long second joints and looked like a cross between an ape and a cave man...Newspaper articles of the time suggest that Cohomo had a horrible smell, sometimes compared to that of a wet dog, rotten eggs, or as sulphur-like.Ground sloth. Supposedly became extinct at the end of the last ice age. But maybe it didn't.

But one remains. If Cohomo was the product of mass hallucination, caused by the sightings of a Missouri monster called Momo, why did only the citizens of Tazewell County invent the elusive beast? Well for one thing, I can't imagine there was a heck of a lot to do in East Peoria or anywhere else in Tazewell County in 1972.
I was but a wee lad at the time and even then we were living in Peoria. We didn't make it to the east side of the river until about 1974 and frankly I only vaguely remember someone at some time mentioning the alleged beast. I wouldn't think a story like that would go largely forgotten in Central Illinois.

100 armed men walked the woods around East Peoria's Cole Hollow Road in search of a monster. The search was called off about 7:45 p.m. when one of the men accidentally shot himself in the foot. I just hope there was banjo music on the soundtrack.

--The monster hunters were looking for was dubbed the Cohomo Monster--
Closely related to the Mario Cuomo Monster of NY State.

Must have been a Democrat or a cop.
