Man and wife experience intimidation behavior near Malvern

A couple parked at the end of their long driveway for a late-night walk to scout stargazing spots. Halfway up they felt watched and heard something loud running toward them through the woods. One witness fled to the car while the other stayed with a flashlight, smelling a strong foul odor and hearing repeated charges that stopped and started. After shouting and slowly backing uphill, the second witness also ran to the car and they drove to the house without ever seeing the source.

12 December 2005 Bismarck, Hot Spring County, Arkansas Class A #13211

Early morning sighting by resident along Highway 7 near Bismarck

On a clear cool morning the witness stood on his property after hearing dogs bark and watched a large dark hairy animal moving east along a fence row about 50 yards away. He saw only the upper body in left-side view for 2-3 seconds as it trotted briskly without bobbing, comparing its size to a very tall heavy man. He later searched for tracks but found none because the ground was too brushy.

From top of hill, hunter observes bipedal creature following a fence row

The witness was squirrel hunting and scouting for deer signs from the top of a small hill when they saw a large dark bipedal creature about 50 yards below following a fence row. They watched it for about 8-10 seconds before it disappeared. The witness estimated it was at least 6 to 7 feet tall, did not follow it out of fear, and a later return found no traces or tracks because the ground was very hard.
