Sasquatch sighting near Norfork, Arkansas (1977)
Account
As a young child living near the Ozarks, the caller repeatedly camped alone at a mountain clearing where river rocks and cleaned sticks were tossed to land by the same tree. Approaching the treeline, the caller saw several large dark shapes, felt a strong gut pressure and freezing sensation, then fled quietly while the figures moved without breaking branches. Days later a family group found moved boulders, huge tracks and uprooted pines, called rangers, and later experienced night visits shaking a camper and jumping on its roof.
