Class A First-hand BFRO #24254

Woman remembers she and a male friend watching an upright creature walking on the edge of moonlit Lake Hamilton

September 1992 Approx 1:15 am Hot Springs, Garland County, Arkansas 2 witnesses

Account

Two companions parked facing a lake late at night and sat in the bed of their truck. They watched a tall, hair-covered biped walk along the opposite shoreline for a couple minutes before it turned toward them and slowly approached. Frightened as it closed to within about 25 feet, they jumped into the cab and drove away.
