TIME:   Late afternoon

LOCATION:  Arkansas, Miller County

TERRAIN:    Hills tapering into swamp

OBSERVED: People at the Monster Mart in Fouke, told me where the bigfoot activities , documented in a famous film , took place. I went into the area and took a ride around the area. I took a road that resulted in a dead end. As I turned around and went to go out , my wife heard someone holler out their door. I stopped, backed up and introduced myself and described my interests. As it were , this person was a cousin of Smokey Crabtree, one of the principals in the film. During the visit, she told me that there had been a sighting along Hwy 71 , where it crossed Boggy Creek. I asked her about when , and she looked seriously at me and said " Within the last six months." I went to the area and did a walkabout. I came upon several tracks that were about a month old (just guessing). I went back into Texarkana, and bought some plaster and went back and poured it. Due to weather conditions , it did not set properly and I had to settle for a photo. This track wasn't particularly large, but had a unique shape , and a very large big toe, (See attached track photo below).

ACTIVITIES OF WITNESS(ES):  Riding in the area of the legendary Fouke Monster

DESCRIPTION OF CREATURE:  N/A

OTHER NOTES:   There had been some logging activity on Boggy Creek. I also noticed a lot of wind damage to trees in the area , where we rode around. Apparently a tornado or severe thunderstorm had been in the area.

The lady I talked to said that she had heard strange sounds like "a dying man". This had not been recently though.
