Origins:

Abita Springs, Louisiana

Legend:

The bassigator, also known by the name “Buford,” is a creature that is a hybrid between an alligator and a sea bass. It is said to be over 20-feet long, with eyes the size of beach balls. And yes, it eats humans.

Visit:

Abita Mystery House/UCM Museum

Abita Springs, Louisiana

If you want to see a Bassigator, go here. This museum claims to have the creature on display in the back of the museum, hitched to a boat trailer, surrounded by a rusty fence and roof to protect it from the elements. The museum’s curator, John Preble, has claimed that the creature is still alive but lies dormant. That being said, visitors are advised not to get too close just in case.
