Sasquatch sighting near Paraclifton, Arkansas (1856)
28 March 1856
Paraclifton, Arkansas
Account
A newspaper correspondent described a party tracking a famous wild man to a frozen lake where dogs lost the trail. A rider watched the figure break ice with its arms, come ashore and shake itself. When headed off, it dragged the hunter down, gouged his eyes and bit him, destroyed the saddle and bridle, then rode the horse toward the mountains using a sapling as a club.
