TIME:
Around 9:00 AM
LOCATION:
Pulaski County, Arkansas
TERRAIN:
Wooded, Hilly, Rocky, with Nearby Low Swampy area
OBSERVED:
I was outside smoking this particular day, believing it was on a Saturday
because my children were home that morning. I was listening to a wood on
wood knocking coming from pretty deep into the woods in back of our mobile
home. I could tell it was a good distance away, but was still quite loud.
It most definitely was no woodpecker, and it sounded much like the "knocks"
I have heard on different web sites depicting Bigfoot audio's. It lasted
at least 5 or 6 minutes and it was rapid in sound. My daughter Xxxxx who
is 7 came out and immediately asked what that noise was. Just a few seconds
later a jet flew over, apparently just taking off from the Little Rock
Airport, heading to Dallas. When the jet was gone and the sound subsided,
the knocking had stopped and was never heard again. I have had a few experiences
in the past years, and I believe I submitted 2 to your web site: one when
I was smoking late at night and saw two red eyes looking in my direction,
and more recently, the "chattering" experience I had on Mt. Nebo in northern
Arkansas a year or so ago. I personally believe that from time to time
we have a creature that comes to our part of the woods. My daughter and
I have smelled that strong, musky smell on a couple of different occasions,
smelling like rotting meat, but then disappearing after a minute or so.
This is the same smell I have encountered when I was searching down in
the Fouke area (the south western corner of Arkansas), where Boggy Creek
meets up with the Sulphur River Bottoms in east Texas, and where many reports
still come from today. This smell was also noticed in areas where I traveled
to in Arkansas where sightings had taken place the same day or a day or
two earlier. The woods close to our mobile home are dense, but the ground
is so hard, that no one could ever find a track unless it was right near
a creek or on the edge of one of the ponds.
Activities
of Witness: Standing outside
smoking
Description
of Creature: No creature was seen
Other
Notes: Now that the
weather is cooling down at night, I will begin my personal research again,
traveling to Ouachita National Forest, for possible activity. If I get
time I would like to submit my experience my ex wife and I had in Michigan
back in the early 80's.
Other
(Informational or Encounter History in the General Area) Notes:
There have been sightings in Pulaski and Saline Counties, and throughout
Arkansas. I have talked to close acquaintances who have claimed to have
seen evidence of sasquatch activity around their properties, and I personally
believe that there are several creatures in our state, or at least many
that pass through, stopping for food and/or shelter.
