Cryptid sighting in Arkansas (2022)

After moving back to Arkansas, the witness went for a solo afternoon hike on a waterfall trail in the Ozarks. The forest suddenly went completely silent and still, then he heard something pacing him in the thick woods. Looking back he filmed a pitch-black silhouette with a deer-like head and horn-like projections that was gone on his return, where vegetation was smashed flat. While bent over filming unusually large deer-like scat near the trail end, a loud close twig snap with nothing visible triggered intense fear, and he hurried to his truck and avoided the woods for about a year.

Hiker has daylight sighting near Olive Branch

The witness reported walking back along a trail after making calls with no response when he found a very large footprint and a scat pile containing vegetation and shell fragments. Moments later he saw a very tall, heavily built, dark brownish creature about 70-80 feet away that had been digging at a ground hornet nest. The creature then ran rapidly down one ridge and up another at a speed the witness felt could not be matched, and disappeared. The witness then collected his things and left for his car.
