Incident #991551
Fouke, Miller Cty, Arkansas
May 1971
Account
Mrs. Bobby Ford said that she was sleeping on a couch in the living room and was awakened when a hairy paw poked through the window. She screamed and it left. Police were called but found nothing. The animal returned twice and the last time it grabbed Bobby Ford as he was going up the porch steps and pulled him down. He managed to get away and ran through the door without opening it. Constable Ernest Walraven speculated that the creature had a den under the porch of the empty house before the Fords moved in.
