Guy exploring creeks finds tracks then growled at by large dark figure 10mi northeast of Russellville

The witness returned on a Sunday afternoon to a wooded creek confluence where large tracks had been found days earlier. While approaching, something large moved alongside through the woods breaking branches, and the witness found large footprints including a tiny print in one heel. The witness then heard a large splash in the creek followed by paired guttural growls that stopped after the witness whooped, and later described seeing a large hairy figure peeking from behind a tree across the creek.

While observing a footprint, youth looks off the path to see shiny haired creature looking at him

In August 1978 a 10-year-old camping with family walked alone at dusk to fetch ice. On a muddy road the witness smelled a strong odor and found a single large bare five-toed footprint, then noticed a dark hairy biped 50 to 80 yards away across a stream that walked gracefully into the treeline in a few seconds. The witness ran back to camp, and relatives later saw the same footprint.

Boy has evening sighting while bike riding with brothers near Booneboro River

On a warm summer evening, brothers were playing in a wooded hillside area. One brother ran out of the woods screaming that he had seen a hairy monster. When the others went back with him, nothing was visible but a strong rotten smell lingered and very large human-like footprints were found in soft ground near a spring. Adults dismissed the account, but the brother maintained the claim years later.
