Possible sightings and strange incidents experienced over time on rural property near Pocahontas

BFRO YEAR: 2004-Present Late afternoon around 4:30 pm Pocahontas, Randolph County, Arkansas 1 witness

Account

The witness was sitting in a deer stand on hunting land when dogs ran through the woods and rolled in dirt at a fence corner. After getting down to chase the dogs off, the witness smelled a musky sour odor like a dead animal. A deep long growl then came from the woods across the powerline about 50 yards away, prompting the witness to back away and run to the truck.
