Incident #991565
Appleton, Pope Cty, Arkansas
Mar 1978
Account
Joe Cook and another man found giant tracks in the first week of March, along a dirt road crossing a mountain between Appleton and Center Ridge. Cook made some poor casts. At one point the maker "stepped flat footed over a four-foot fence. Tommie and Bob Throneberry, Ron Townsend and Ronnie Griser talked to him three weeks later and were able to find some of the tracks and cast a good clear one in damp red sand. These do not seem to be the same set of tracks as in 1566, but are in the same area and it is not clear which set was made first.
