Report Received From: The GCBRO Online Report Submission Form.
 

DATE:    08/--/92
 

TIME:    Dusk
 

LOCATION:   Arkansas, Ouachita County
 

TERRAIN:    Wooded
 

OBSERVED:    I didn't hear anything.  I was cleaning up my family cemetery that is surrounded by woods.  I looked up from my raking of leaves and saw a dark figure about 20 feet away watching me from the woods.  The figure was covered with dark brownish black hair and stood about 6 feet or taller.  The outline was roughly human but it was not human.  I stared petrified at the figure long enough to run through the possibilities of what it might be, since I was in the woods...deer, hobo, bear, hunter, then.....

oh sh-- big foot!  Me and the thing stared at each other for what seemed an eternity and when I realized that there was no escape from whatever it was, I decided to turn my back and accept my fate. I turned away and waited about a minute for an attack, none came, I turned back to face the thing and it was gone.  I made a hasty retreat back to my car.
 

Activities of Witness:   I was alone raking leaves in my family plot that is surrounded on three sides by woods and on the forth side a dirt road runs beside railroad tracks that are surrounded by woods.
 

Description of Creature:  I had a clear view though it was dark where the figure stood.  I could not make out any facial features only the shape of a head and shoulders its arms hung at it sides and it stood erect about 6 feet or more.  It made no sound, or movement while I looked at it.  The figure stood clearly between two trees.  It was dusk.
 

Other Notes:    My mother was raised in those woods and she reports never hearing of any encounters of large animals other than bears.
