Incident #991545
Fouke, Miller Cty, Arkansas
about 1965
Account
James Crabtree saw "a man of some kind" with hair all over his body and no clothes sitting on the river bank "doing something with his feet, like he was putting on or taking off a pair of shoes." When Crabtree tried to get closer the creature ran into the woods. That he ran upright is not stated but seems a safe presumption for "a man of some kind."
