Rat Man
|
Yes, TC, I've seen it on four different occasions. My father, wife, and daughter have also seen it and not just a quick glance. Dad, daughter Kate, and I watched on swim across the Mullica River at Beaver Dam Pond. It took several minutes for it to make the swim which ended just a handful of yards from us where it slithered into the weeds. On that occasion we saw it clearly, for a long time, and close up. My wife and I saw it at Batsto Lake. She got an excellent, close up view. It crawled into her shays lounge while she was sleeping in the sun... while she was 8 1/2 months pregnant with Kate! Wife Marie and I also saw it at Karanza Memorial and again near Batsto Lake. Here's the poop: It is very large, has light, almost white colored skin with large black spots on it. It is absolutely a rattler and it apparently loves water. We've seen it in the Jersey Pines in four different locations. I realize what this sounds like but we saw what we saw. I don't expect most people to believe me but those who know me well do. Have your laugh. I don't care.
