Roadside sighting near Eureka Springs

The headlights illuminated a tall, hair-covered figure standing by the south side of the highway between Beaver Lake and Eureka Springs. The figure raised its hands to cover its face from the lights, and the occupants did not stop, first thinking it was a naked person but later concluding it was tall, hairy, and not a man or bear.
