Intimidation of deer hunter one mile from "Arkansas Sphinx" rock formation

The witness arrived before daylight to deer hunt from a ground blind near a road above a steep slope. From inside the blind he heard coyotes, then hollering, rock-banging or wood-knock sounds, and whoops as something ran up the slope, crossed the road, and stopped in thick brush behind him. He then heard loud raspy breathing and growling and smelled a strong obnoxious odor for about five minutes before the animal ran away along the treeline and the woods went quiet.

Silhouette in Arkansas (2011)

While road hunting with a spotlight, the witness and a friend spotted eyes and a dark silhouette in a field and the friend shot it with a .22. It did not flee but rocked side to side, screamed extremely loudly, and stepped toward them. They left when another truck approached. Next day they found blood and realized it had stood in a deep ditch, implying tall height.

July 1988 Huntington, Sebastian County, Arkansas Class A #8527

Man has extraordinary, close encounter while fishing near Huntington

The witness was bass fishing along a lake bank when a commotion in nearby woods drew attention. A large upright apelike creature about seven to eight feet tall emerged, made whoop sounds and a low growl, snapped off a small tree and slapped the ground while staring with flexed muscles. The witness slowly backed away looking down, the animal followed a short distance then turned, paused near a bushy spot, and walked into the woods. The witness rejoined companions who laughed, and has not returned to the area.

Sasquatch sighting near Butterfield, Arkansas (1987)

As a young child visiting grandparents in Arkansas, the witness approached a small furry baby crawling near a compost pile by a fence. A much larger creature appeared in light through the trees, pointed between the baby and the child and motioned for the child to come closer. When the child's grandmother called for dinner, the large one blended into the background and additional figures moved away down the fence line.

Man recalls incident while camping as a teenager near Cedarville

Two teenagers camped on a mountain logging road were harassed by thrown sticks, loud grunting and tree-banging sounds, and a strong foul odor. When they shone a light into the woods about 25 yards away, they saw a very tall fur-covered figure that ducked behind a tree. They put out their fire and fled down the trail, saying the figure followed them most of the way back.

Sasquatch sighting near Paraclifton, Arkansas (1856)

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.

Animal behaviour in Arkansas

The guest recalls stories his grandmother told about her childhood on a rural family farm. During one spring or summer when a strange animal was in the area, cattle stayed near the barn and hunting dogs refused to leave the porch, even when chased off. The family came to associate the disturbance with a wild creature visiting the property.

Scream near Reeder, Arkansas

After the road sighting the witness continued to a flooded creek to set duck decoys. He heard unusually loud and persistent hog-like squeals circling at a constant distance, then the woods went silent and a very loud, long scream directed at him caused intense fear. He abandoned his decoys and ran to his truck and later told a friend he thought he had seen Bigfoot.

Sasquatch sighting in Arkansas

Early in a daytime float the witness saw motion on a bluff and first thought two hikers were heading to a cave. She realized both figures appeared entirely brown, with the larger ushering the smaller into the cave and turning its whole upper body to look toward the river. They disappeared into the cave before her husband could see them.
