Jake the Alligator Man is an
alleged half-man, half-alligator on
display in apparently mummified condition at Marsh's Free Museum, a
tourist trap in Long Beach,
Washington
. He was acquired by the Marshes for $750 in
1967 from an antique store.
His image was used by the
Weekly
World News on
November 9,
1993 for front-page article, "Half-human,
half-alligator discovered in Florida swamp."
The periodical
subsequently reported on his escape from captivity, killing of a
Miami
man, and
giving birth.
Jake has acquired a
cult following in
Northwestern popular culture.
Bumper stickers featuring the oddity can be
commonly seen throughout Washington
and Oregon
.
