Residents in and around Fouke, Arkansas have reported seeing what they call a monster that has a strong odor,six to eight feet tall and said to make bone chilling howls in the dead of night. The beast was first sighted in 1971 on the edge of a soybean farm after that sightings seemed to explode in and around the tiny little swampy town of Fouke. There are several eyewitnesses that have seen the monster all of which happened during the 1970's , a man on the outskirts of town reported that the beast was banging on his front door trying to get in. One of the better documented encounter with the beast was in 1971 by Elizabeth and Bobby Ford, one night in late May Elizabeth spotted what looked like a bear in her yard and was driven away by her brother. Several nights later her husband Bobby was on the porch at night and was thrown to the ground by the creature, he managed to crawl away and get to the hospital and get stitches for scratches on his back.
In October 2000 in the Sulfur River Wildlife Management Area, Stacey Hudson who is an avid bow hunter set up his tree stand twelve feet above the ground the day before he was going to hunt. The next morning he came back to find his tree stand on the ground, he repositioned it back around twelve feet after just half an hour he could hear something approach him, "As it approached my stand I could feel something touch my leg, it was large, it was black, when I hunt I'm camouflaged head to toe all except the broad head. He was terrified by this broad daylight encounter, 'I think it cut itself on my broad head because I could hear it running away screaming".
