Motorist has close encounter on Mallard Point Road near Lake Norfork
Late at night the witness stopped at a stop sign while driving out of a subdivision after visiting a friend. An upright, hairy figure emerged from the woods and moved quickly toward the driver's side door, prompting the witness to drive away quickly. In the rearview mirror the witness saw the figure cross the road behind the vehicle. The witness also reported a strong skunk-like and urine odor despite closed windows.
Two fishermen have close-up sighting while driving home at night from Norfork Lake
Two men driving home from night fishing in the early morning hours saw an upright animal in their headlights on the west roadside. The animal took a long step to the center line, paused and looked at the vehicle occupants, then dropped to its knuckles and swung its body to the east shoulder where it disappeared from view.
Three fisherman hear thrashing about and loud vocalizations
Three people fishing from a boat along a densely vegetated shoreline heard rustling and thrashing suggesting a very large animal nearby. They then heard a very loud, chilling shrill that frightened them, prompting them to leave quickly. As they left, they continued to hear the animal moving rapidly through dense woods uphill and repeating the shrill at intervals until it was roughly a quarter to half mile away.
Backyard sighting near Mountain Home.
The witness drove to a relative's house to check on dogs kept there in a fenced area. A small figure described as an adolescent bigfoot ran from the woods into the yard between the house and garage. The witness remained in the car feeling watched, saw the dogs were okay, then left out of fear.
Youth hears vocalizations and is trailed while fishing on White River
As a child the witness walked upstream out of sight of relatives while fishing. He heard deep grunting sounds and saw thin trees shaking as something unseen moved through dense brush behind him. When he walked back, the movement and branch-breaking sounds followed him step for step and stopped when he reached his relatives. He never saw the source of the sounds and movement.
Teenager has sighting near Ozark National Forest
The witness, home from school, was standing in woods near a deep ravine when they heard something walking through leaves. They then watched for a few seconds a very large, hairy figure walking upright uphill about 50-100 yards away, with its head obscured by branches. The figure quickly disappeared, and when the witness crossed to the other side they found nothing, noticed complete silence, became frightened, and ran home to tell a relative who did not believe them.
