Kayakers report camp intimidation all night long on Lower Buffalo River

Two campers floating and fishing the Lower Buffalo River heard loud monkey-like vocalizations from the bank and later camped on a gravel bar. Through the night they reported repeated wood knocks, yells, chatter, whistles, a tree snap, and cantaloupe-sized rocks landing in the river from the ridge across from camp. They lit the camp, kept fire watch in shifts, and at dawn packed and paddled out after a final rock fell in front of them.

Motorist observes three bigfoots crossing before him at night east of Harrison

The witness was driving west on a two-lane highway at night when headlights revealed three figures on the road. Two larger figures crossed near the center line and stepped over a roadside fence with ease, while a smaller trailing figure used a fence post to vault over. The group kept moving without looking at the witness during an encounter lasting only seconds.

Chemical Engineer hears possible vocalizations while turkey hunting in the Lower Buffalo National Wilderness Area

The witness was camped alone beside the Buffalo River on a solo turkey hunt. At about 4:30 a.m. while eating breakfast at camp, the witness heard a loud whoop-like call from the mountainside to the southwest, followed within two seconds by an even louder similar call from across the river to the northwest. The witness judged the second sound was not an echo and interpreted the two calls as two Sasquatches communicating from roughly one-quarter to one-third mile away.

Motorist has nighttime sighting on a mountain road north of Flippin

The witness was driving home from a night shift around 3 a.m. in falling snow when they noticed a white figure in the road that first resembled a large goat. As they approached, the figure stood upright in the middle of the road, appearing taller than the car, muscular and covered in dirty white-gray hair, then froze as the vehicle passed. When the witness checked the mirrors immediately after passing, the figure was gone.
