Class B First-hand BFRO #8819

Woman on horseback hears footsteps; observes animal running away through woods

6 June 2004 around 3:00pm Oxley, Searcy County, Arkansas 1 witness

Account

The witness was riding horseback along a dirt road on a hillside in the afternoon when the horse shied sideways. She heard two heavy footsteps and vegetation being trampled close to the road. She then glimpsed a large white hairy figure moving quickly through the brush, only partly visible, before the sounds and figure disappeared suddenly.
