LOCATION:Greer`s Ferry, Arkansas, Cleburne County Banks of Greer`s Ferry Lake
TERRAIN: Wooded
OBSERVED:
Was camping about 100 yards from lake in a remote area only accessable
by motor cycle. Just at dusk I was alone and had built a small fire by my
tent. I was very still and quiet andthere were lots of leaves on the ground
being Fall and changing of seasons. I heard a crunching of leaves within
30 or so yards of my camp. Sounded like someone walking slowly, then
it would stop, then walk more, then stop. I stared into the underbrush trying
to see who it was. It was thickly wooded and from about waist up you
couldn't see mabe 10 yards, but if you kneeled down and looked under the
trees you could see further.
It was just at dusk and very difficult
to make out anything except the tree trunks until it moved again in a stalking
type walk, (like a person sneaking). I watched closely and it wasn't a man's
legs in pants, it was two legs covered in black hair. Or appeared black
as it was almost dark. I asked who was there, but no answer. I said
very loud that I had a gun and would fire if they came any closer. It
stopped and stayed very still several mins. I got up and started in
that direction slowly and could hear it walk as I did and stop when I did.
I knelt down trying to see where it was and it
was moving away from me. I decided not to follow any further and watched
as it moved further away until it was gone.
I was alone at this location and it`s at least
5 miles from any dwelling, and about 200 yards off a back road. Anyone pulling
a hoax sure didn't have a car to leave in because you could hear a pin drop
in this place. Not only that, but no one knew I was even there because
it's so remote and no trail leading to where I was. It was far off the beaten
path.
ACTIVITIES OF
WITNESSES: I was alone, just started
a fire as it was getting dark, no radio or anything on.It was stone quite.
DESCRIPTION
OF CREATURE: This thing
I saw walked upright, had what appeared were stocky legs and fairly short.
I'd guess the height gaugeing by leg length could have been about 6
feet tall, heavy built. I could only see about waist high because of
underbrush from the trees. It was thick, fairly long hair covering both
legs, and walked slowly with a slight bend at the knees.
OTHER NOTES:
OTHER SIGHTINGS
IN THIS AREA: I'm not from there
