Class A First-hand BFRO #9507

Roadside sighting near Eureka Springs

15 July 1994 around or after midnight Eureka Springs, Carroll County, Arkansas 4 witnesses

Account

Late at night in summer 1994, the witness was a passenger in a car returning from a performance in Missouri to a festival site near Eureka Springs. The headlights illuminated a tall, hair-covered figure standing by the south side of the highway between Beaver Lake and Eureka Springs. The figure raised its hands to cover its face from the lights, and the occupants did not stop, first thinking it was a naked person but later concluding it was tall, hairy, and not a man or bear.
