Man and wife experience intimidation behavior near Malvern

April 2012 approximately midnight Malvern, Hot Spring County, Arkansas 2 witnesses

Account

A couple parked at the end of their long driveway for a late-night walk to scout stargazing spots. Halfway up they felt watched and heard something loud running toward them through the woods. One witness fled to the car while the other stayed with a flashlight, smelling a strong foul odor and hearing repeated charges that stopped and started. After shouting and slowly backing uphill, the second witness also ran to the car and they drove to the house without ever seeing the source.
