Through the night they heard return knocks, unidentified howls and loud sigh-like sounds, and a rock landed near one of them when he stepped away from the fire. In the morning they found a line of large flat footprints that they measured and cast.

November, 2000, Arkansas, Benton

Two people walking a terrier dog along the receded shoreline of a lake followed large raccoon tracks to a disturbed area in packed sandy soil. There they found two sizes of large human-like footprints intersecting the raccoon tracks, which ended at the disturbance, while the human-like tracks returned toward the tree line. The prints were much deeper than the witnesses' own impressions in the same soil. The dog behaved unusually at the site, whining and soiling the area.

Tracks near Eureka Springs, Arkansas

After moving to a remote wooded property, the family found a very clear large human-like footprint with toes that was photographed with a tape measure. On separate occasions the child experienced a rock thrown past him near a creek, faint whooping, small trees moving together, a high scream-like whoop followed by a tree being pushed over, and the adults heard trees breaking and splashing into a pond. Dogs that normally chase sounds fled back to the house during these events.
