Three men were in “utter disbelief” when they came across what they could only describe as a yowie while driving home from work inland from the Sunshine Coast.

On Saturday, December 4, three plantation workers were driving back to the Jimna Base Camp when they caught sight of a “slouched over figure” standing under a street light.

“We initially thought it was a boar or a really big animal until we got closer and saw it run off in a very apelike way,” said one of the workers, Seamus FitzGerald.

The men recalled the creature standing up all and turning to look at them.

They described it as having “very long arms”, “an apelike” face and shape and covered in “dark reddish hair”.

Mr FitzGerald said the situation was “surreal” seeing as he had never previously believed in yowies.

“I’ve never really had a paranormal or strange experience like that before. I hardly slept that night and the feeling was overwhelming that I had seen something that I never believed in previously.”

Another one of the workers, Stirling Slocock-Bennett, said the group was filled with fear and confusion when they were faced with the creature.

“We were in utter disbelief of what we were seeing,” he said.

“It definitely was a scary moment for me, as I said I was so confused and shook of what we were seeing, and as we got closer and closer it didn’t make sense like you’d hope.”

Despite a small population of just 91 people, this hasn’t been the first sighting of a yowie in Jimna.

Locals have reportedly claimed to see evidence of the yowie in bushland, just on the edge of town.

“We went on a few hikes after to see it, but sadly they weren’t organised very well, too many people and too loud,” Mr Slocock-Bennett said.

“However after speaking to locals it seems the yowies are pushed out in storms.”

After the experience, Mr FitzGerald said each of the men had changed their minds about yowies and planned on exploring the world of the mysterious creature.

“I’m very intrigued to find out what other people have seen and experienced.”
