Mystery creature spotted in Bluffton and near Lincoln Highway; but what is it?

Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, August 13, 2013

Loch Ness has its monster and, now, it appears that Bluffton does, too. And maybe Ada.

Several sightings of an unidentified animal have been reported in Bluffton in the past week and two persons captured the creature on cell phone cameras. One Bluffton Icon viewer said the animal was also sighted near Lincoln Highway, which puts the animal in the Ada community.
