The Selbyville Swamp Monster

The Great Cypress Swamp on the Delaware and Maryland line grew its own monster: a shaggy, screaming thing the locals swore stalked the dark cedar water around Selbyville. In 1964 a newspaperman admitted he had faked some sightings for fun in a fright mask, but the older stories, and the sightings after, never fully stopped. The swamp is real, a rare wild remnant; the monster is the folklore it wears.
