27 September 1986 night time Milltown, Sebastian County, Arkansas 2 witnesses

Account

In fall 1986 the witness was driving a pickup with two companions on a rural dirt road at night with the headlights off. He saw a figure emerge and walk across the road ahead toward a pasture for about five seconds before he looked down for the lights. The female companion also saw it and became distressed, while the male companion did not see it, and the group turned back without continuing to the lake.
