Man recalls nighttime encounter near DeQueen

The witness drove with a companion to a turnaround at the end of a rough logging road through pine woods to talk. After getting out of the car, the witness heard loud bipedal footsteps approaching and then watched a huge human-like figure move through the trees for about ten seconds.

The witness returned with a relative the next day and reported the trees were nine to ten feet tall, with the head just above that level.

Boy scouts have possible encounter near Possum Kingdom Lake

In early July 1988 the witness was alone at a summer camp when rustling and screams were heard from a rocky ledge above and a white upright figure was glimpsed moving behind trees.

The companions were shaken for hours but later denied the incident, and the witness remains uncertain whether it was a costumed person or a real creature.

Sighting by two hikers

Two companions on a hiking and camping trip followed grunting and rock-crashing sounds along a remote game trail. Through dense woods they saw bulky upright figures, first taken for a standing bear but judged to be something unfamiliar with a large upper body and no visible neck. When they returned to the spot the figures were gone, leaving stacked large rocks, broken branches and a powerful dung-like smell, after which they left the area.
