A person has danced at the gates of St. Joseph Cemetery in a monkey costume and hundreds of extra visitors drove in to try and catch a glimpse after 911 reports of monkeys on the loose.
No monkeys have yet been seen since those initial calls, but the extra attention at the cemetery has been a lighthearted moment that has people talking, said Stephen Bittner, president of Cincinnati Catholic Cemetery Society, which owns St. Joseph. During the initial search,
“Someone stopped in front of our gates 9 or 10 (p.m.) last night dancing outside our front entrance in a monkey suit,” Bittner said.
On Thursday, the Enquirer noticed people driving into the cemetery and shouting the question of where are the monkeys as Cincinnati police officers and Cincinnati Zoo officials looked over the grounds.
