The Legend of Boggy Creek.
Creatures in the heart of this legend
nicknamed The Boggy Creek Monster.
While a nation comes to meet this beast
for the first time in the early 1970s,
inhabitants in the bottom south of Arkansas land
almost invisible this is a cinema debut.
They know something the rest of the country
just starting to understand.
See, Legend of Boggy Creek isn't just a legend.
For decades, reports from a very large man
closed animal hair that wanders swamps
and drains have leaked into local folklore.
While the excitement of the film
interesting for the general public,
those who really met
That monster for themselves is haunted by that fact.
The reality is a puzzle.
The reality is scary.
(fast music)
(unpleasant music)
This is Fouke Arkansas.
I don't grow here,
but when I was little
this place captures my imagination.
I only see it on the theater screen,
but I often travel to small cities like that
with my father when we camp and hunt
throughout Texas and Arkansas.
They come out of the way of the place.
Quiet monuments of rural America
saved away from busy buzz of city life.
A peaceful place to build a family.
And for many people, all of them belong to Fouke.
In the Fouke 70s will get fame anyway,
thanks for the release The Legend of Boggy Creek.
I see a movie in time with my family,
and like lots of kids fascinated by monsters
I am very happy.
Since then the film has become something
from film staples B.
But it's magic and mystery always with me.
A mystery that I want to help solve.
I'm Lyle Blackburn.
A few years ago I wrote a book called
The Beast of Boggy Creek.
This book is very deep look at the mystery
around the city of Fouke.
And especially, it's the most famous citizen,
Monster Boggy Creek.
For people in southern Arkansas,
Boggy Creek legend more
than just a movie.
That is the introduction to their home.
An area that is often ignored by outsiders.
Land filled with wildlife, natural beauty,
hidden mysteries, and countless legends.
Fouke is a quiet little community
stored in a corner from southwest Arkansas.
Only 20 miles from the city of Texarkana,
97 km north of Shreveport Louisiana.
Even though it's located relatively close
large population center,
remote wilderness that surrounds Fouke
makes it feel like a distant world.
- Fouke Arkansas is located in
southwest corner of the state Arkansas in Miller County.
Miller County is the only county in the state of Arkansas,
or one of two districts in the state of Arkansas
which is separate from the rest of the country with water.
Red River carves it from other states.
- This area, we sometimes see
as an area lost from lost the state of Arkansas.
- This is a small town.
Slow slow.
The small city we have here already exists
lots of (wild) wildlife around here.
When you step out in the forest
You experience nature.
- [Lyle] Fouke was founded in the late 1800s
by a group of 7th Day Adventists
seeking religious protection.
The place where the devil and his lackeys
can't reach them.
Coarse Land Miller County surrounding it
often drop back for shadow activities.
Like many areas in the south
it's home to foreigners, criminals,
and other immoral individuals.
But Fouke held him back as a religious-based community.
Where families can enjoy the benefits of small city life.
- This is the place in history
who is known as a criminal.
And many of them will do it hang out in this area
because they can access other countries
in less than 15, 20 minutes.
- And the city itself,
Fouke was once a big place.
We have a train depot, we have a sawmill.
And there are more people here
than now.
- [Lyle] While Fouke is known
in modern times for that monster,
the state of Arkansas has been a long time
run history with reports of strange creatures.
When researching my book,
I found many articles
picking up from newspaper archives that speak
terrible encounters with creatures like humans
which lurks in the depths of from the mountains of the state,
forest, and swamps.
As far back as 1800's, newspapers are done
the stories of these so-called wild people.
- Those stories are from the early 1900s.
Indians believe that are here all the time.
Their ancestors lived together whatever this creature is.
That is the second nature for them.
- [Lyle] That wild man description is very unusual
similar to Fouke monsters.
When there is historically abundance
documented vision connected with Fouke,
stories from locals suggest this creature
may have been seen in the area
as far as the early 1900s.
- 100 years ago something happened here.
It happens to a girl, she is eight years old.
He has been away for 14 years.
He died at the age of 92 years.
And he doesn't know anyone about this
until he is on his death bed.
He has been fishing with him grandparents and their parents.
They all lured it bayou, through here.
And he has his little stick polar, he calls it what.
He goes around the bush and it squats
next to water.
It's washing his feet.
It stands and he stands face to face
with that in five legs.
He returned and entered the cart
and he never returned to this area.
- Before I become
a deputy sheriff,
I was hunting one night, we used to hunt foxes.
I was hunting with my father-in-law
and he told me that story
they hunt and everything suddenly the dogs stop.
The dogs stop barking, they come to them
which is in the lottery between two ridges.
And they can't understand what the problem is
possible but finally there is
big hairy big monsters.
When he calls it.
Men or whatever.
They don't give it a name
Because they don't know what that is.
Joining from the forest.
And standing there looking in their area
which they are at the bottom of the lottery.
And they have small weapons with them
and they fired him several times at the monster.
But in the air hope scare but not.
It stands there and walks, turns, looks.
Looks like it's staring at them
and they don't want to leave their area
alone on the ridge.
And they live there for some time
they finally go home.
This is before I become
a law enforcement officer.
And that date and time that happened, I don't know.
The story told me maybe about
1966, 67, that time period.
So that has already happened several previous periods.
- I graduated at 64 so that's when we
seniors have met several _ Barefoot men in Boggy Creek.
They have two packs of coon dogs, they mix the package.
And on the night given, as they call or call us
barefoot men.
Because that's the trace they found.
He kills all dogs.
And they came to school the next day
trying to get vigilante
to go in there and hunt down this man in Boggy Creek.
Some seniors go,
some of us can't leave.
We tried but our parents won't let us.
And they never come back with proof
who is it or what.
That's our monster's dust when we look back, backwards.
- [Lyle] On a warm night in May 1971,
Boggy Creek monsters take the first step
to the public eye.
They see that creature
lasts years before the event
that will happen.
This proves to be a critical point.
Right after sunset on Saturday May 1
in a small frame house outside Highway 71
Ford and Turner families
just settling for the night
when they have experience that will haunt them
for the rest of their lives.
Elizabeth Ford made the first contact
when he is torn from his peaceful sleep
by large hairy hands reaching
through the nearest window.
Behind the hand peeking at him
two red eyes he said,
"Looks like a fire."
The people in the house rushed out
to fulfill that.
Armed with a rifle and flashlight
they see the creature and start shooting.
It escapes to the nearest forest.
Family quickly retreats into the house
where they call the local police.
Led by Police Ernest Walraven.
Walraven and young representative named H.L. Phillips
arrived at the Ford house and found the family shaken.
But they don't find creatures on property.
So they leave.
- I know that I arrived there
and the former Red Walraven Cosnstable of Fouke
at that time, we both arrived around the same time.
That is a kind of uncontrolled situation.
There is a total panic among members,
some people live there
at home at that time.
- [Lyle] Moments later the monster
back to the scene and welcomed
Not to mention shots from frightened families.
While there is no blood or other evidence can be found,
those people insist they hit the creature
and they have seen it fall.
The incident continues revealed with more sightings
and scenes that prove scary
for the audience when it appears
in The Legend of Boggy Creek a year later.
Where the creature is attacked
the youngest of the family, Bobby Ford.
Like in real life, the incident happened
at Ford taken to a local hospital
where he is treated minor injuries and shock.
- They say that Bobby Ford
definitely involved in some,
something really happened to him.
He has wet his pants
or something happens there
which will cause this to hurt.
But he is in a state,
You know, like shock.
- [Lyle] The Ford incident is documented
by Texarkana Gazette in a series of articles
who carefully recounts the encounter.
Much disappointed with Ford,
they are the subject ridicule and ridicule
as a story local monsters were shot down by skeptics.
To make things worse,
Monster hunters change Ford's house
become a tourist attraction when they search
properties for monster signs.
- And we can see that area
and see that the area is disturbed, tearing.
And that is not something that is prefabricated
because of the way they are interrupted
and really become a lot of people
I can say that they themselves are not actors.
Something that really happened there.
And this is the beginning of
called Fouke monster in this area.
- [Lyle] For Ford himself,
they quickly pack their goods and leave Fouke.
Never return.
(birdsong)
(roar)
(high shouts)
- Shoot him!
(hard shot)
(broken glass)
Fouke is busy with the latest news
Boggy Creek monsters.
Sighting revolves around Miller County
with a number of them occurring in locations
like Highway 71, the Basis of sulfur,
nearest Jonesville community,
and along Boggy Creek itself.
Local residents and from outside the city are the same
form a posse to look for that creature.
Hoping to bring home the monster head
to be installed on their walls.
Like sights in and around Miller County
becomes more chaotic every day,
media coverage about Fouke Monsters increase.
Charles B. Pierce, an and upcoming filmmaker
with eyes out for a good story,
decide Boggy Creek
will be the perfect subject for the first feature film.
After borrowing from local business men,
he collects small crew and goes to Fouke
to make the film.
Whereas the original is intended to be a documentary film
the movie turns out to be an audience of something
I've never experienced before.
The same documentary, horror film,
and nature films, The Legend of Boggy Creek
dramatize the story of monster sightings.
This displays non actors,
many of them play alone
Revive their actual meet the animal.
Locals, like Searcy and the Crabtree's
time with the screen with the creature
who have been spying on their families for only a few years
and even months before.
- Of course I grew up with that before that.
My family is Crabtree so you often hear
long story back before the actual movie
The Legend of Boggy Creek comes out.
So when my father will take me to the forest
and put me in a tree,
You pray for daytime, you really do it.
It's quite surprising to be out there
itself during that time period.
- [Lyle] Made with a tight budget
and released completely independent of the major
studio involvement, the film is instant
success in the local area.
Finally the film is secured theatrical distribution
and continue playing throughout the country.
He really enjoys successfully running on drive-ins.
Where is often paired with others
creature features.
Including those that focus on developing ones pop culture icon known as Bigfoot.
In the late 1970s the film
has obtained an estimate of 25 million dollars.
An amazing achievement for an independent production and first director.
- They are rather excited.
That's something different.
The movie comes out, we all load
behind a 72 Vega
and we go and watch the movie.
At that time there was a lot of excitement.
The film just came out,
it's fresh in everyone's mind.
Sighting up and down 71 Highway
between Texarkana and Shreveport almost every day.
Someone sees something.
And if they don't see anything they think they made it up.
- I remember going to the cinema myself
and the thing that impressed me was
when I go to the cinema,
there are already line people
strung around the block.
And I got there 40 minutes before it started.
- [Lyle] However, back in Fouke,
the film gets mixed reaction by the people of the city.
What was once peaceful came out of the way
now is a chaotic frenzy scene.
The success of the film carries waves
Curiosity seekers and monster hunters
who trample on the local countryside.
While some local residents benefit from tourism,
that is a headache for others.
In one of The Legend of Boggy Creek's
the most iconic scene, Searcy's house is surrounded
by Fouke the monster the way one night.
This is an incident that fascinated me
since the first time watching a movie.
But what happened to Searcy?
Like many witnesses displayed
in The Legend of Boggy Creek,
families are subject to ridicule.
And for decades they continue to be questioned about their claims.
Of the many witnesses I talked to,
the majority are more than a little suspicious
speaking in public about their experiences.
Mary Beth Searcy,
prime family witnesses are no different.
Also, many of the actors are shown in movies
are local residents who have not received
part of that box office is abundant.
While values like that fame can still be debated,
it's definitely a small town
will never be the same.
- People come from all directions.
You go to the road there is someone
standing on the road with a gun
want to kill Fouke monsters.
And we still keep getting it these calls, these reports,
but every time we do it causes a lot of problems.
The problem is actually residents around Fouke,
they come out and look across the field
and there are many people out there
with weapons and goods.
So we try to stay as calm as possible
after this event occurs.
- When the movie comes out,
the best way to explain it
it revolutionizes culture cities and regions.
- When they make a movie,
half the people avoid it and half the people hug him.
So you have a split reaction
what will actually happen when they make it.
So you have lines people ready to be on it.
You have a line of other people ready to get out of the door.
What they interviewed
I saw in the film, I knew directly,
they are credible, they don't just make up to make it up.
And if they say yes, what is that story?
They are just not out there to try
to make money from movies.
- The film received responses from all over the US.
From all of the US.
And many people after seeing the film
want answers because of their own
have experienced something like that.
Something strange.
But it's wide, they come from all states.
- [Lyle] The Boggy Creek Monster
seems to be a ghost.
It is rare to leave any physical evidence.
But on June 13, 1971,
it will change.
Tracks found in local bean fields
owned by Willy Smith.
They are not like city dwellers
ever seen before or since.
Having what appears becomes just three toes,
tracks follow the path out of the forest bordering
in the field, and then return to the wooden line.
I noted the proximity of the field
to the famous Boggy Creek itself
when I visited the location during one of my research trips.
While strange tracks do raise a few questions,
they are found at the right time.
Let them be Pierce movie features.
But what kind of big bipedal creatures
can he bring himself like that narrow, three footed toe?
- Actually it's my uncle's field.
It was there where the first song was found.
This sort of stirs all of this.
(mumbling)
My uncle is great.
And I usually pick cotton in the same bean field.
- I raised a few tracks out of the bean field.
I remember it seems like I might
about 13 inches three toes.
But I lift a lot of plastic casts out of the field.
- My uncle lives here.
He called my mother.
They made him bring bags from his Paris plaster
to Smith's farm and prints of three tracks.
- And what can ruin this a little
different from the usual
the speed is so far.
- And to our knowledge, it is the only print available,
the only player that exists that year and time.
It has a size of about 14 inches.
But the foot is concave objects on the ground, in the sand.
You can see the claws, hers toenails and the area above them.
It still has particles from that time
trapped in tape.
- Tracks go from the road
to the other side of the road.
I remember that there was too much debris.
Only thing about this is the hijacked field.
It goes for short distances
to come back again other areas that brush.
But from that period there there are several tracks pinned.
- Part of the proof you cannot ignore it.
People see things, whether it's
physical evidence to show or not.
That convinced me that there was more than that
than just talking.
Legend, there are more than just legends.
- [Lyle] Footprints offer interesting
little evidence for Monster Boggy Creek,
but not the proof.
Skeptics quickly show
incompatibility of strange tracks.
Still, the appearance of the creature
survive well outside the film.
That is the history of the film
and seek the truth
who first took me to Fouke.
That is a place that has that kind of great inspiration in my life.
But what I found was that appearance
the creature did not stop in the early 1970s
because many believe.
People really continue to see the suspected creature.
One of those people is Will Lunsford.
A boy who has met the animal
in the late 1970s and whose lives
has changed immeasurably by him.
- What year is that?
- This is 1977 and I am a senior in high school.
As I said, I don't expect today
to be different from other days
I have spent here in my life.
- [Lyle] Talk to people like Will
is a constant reminder of how much
that creature can have the life of a witness.
For some meetings it becomes a force
that haunts them for the rest of their lives.
For Will, it's the driving force
which forces him looking for that creature
long after he first saw it.
- And the Fouke monster is here
and I don't believe in that creature.
And as I said,
I don't expect something to happen.
- Have you seen a movie before this?
- I have seen the film maybe back
maybe 72 or 73 when exiting.
- So that day when you experience that meeting,
what are you doing?
Live me through it.
- [Will] Okay I'm there fishing.
And roughly at the same time are here now.
And the sun starts to adjust a little.
I have a few more holes
want to fish and arrive.
So as we do there we rather step a little
and I come to the intersection of this gas line.
And when I go crossing, I will smell this stench.
And I thought, "Well, that is a massacre."
Because there are always fish.
There are things to come out of the gravel hole.
Animals that have been eaten.
So I don't think about it.
So when I cross gas channel there
there is something that just doesn't look right.
And I have been walking in this place thousands of times before.
So I keep looking, I like, "Something went wrong.
" Something went wrong. "
Well finally I guess I've sat there
and look at this object for a long time.
He stepped out of the way
into the shadow so to speak right behind the tree.
And suddenly he falls,
and then suddenly he raised this bush above his head
and he starts to stand up.
And he keeps standing, and he keeps standing
and I think, bear.
The first thing I think.
Certainly is scary in itself.
But whenever he sits there and I get it
see well on my face realize it's not a bear.
And he sat there and looked at me
and I can't move.
I want to run, I can't run.
So I sat there and he walked
out in the middle of the road.
Here where I'm fishing,
and he just sits there.
And he just looked at me and he joked a little.
Like this here.
And my man only, I can already
feel tears running down my face.
And when he stands there maybe 30 to 40 seconds,
he walks back to the tree.
He pulls the same member down.
He does what I call cat skin.
Put it on his lips, do it.
He walked back in front of the path
again there in front me and he stands there
and rocking around like not coming here.
This is still my area.
He is sitting there maybe 20 to 30 seconds again.
And the man who had just been whipped and entered the forest.
And in two steps you don't see it
and in three steps he leaves.
- [Lyle] Will be the location of Lunsford's appearance is at the heart of what seems
creature domain.
When there is an appearance with Boggy Creek,
closer to downtown Fouke,
most of them happen further than civilization.
As development progresses to take over land,
easy to theorize it might be that creature
is retreating into uninhabitable areas outside the city.
Just a few miles to the west of Fouke's lie Sulfur River Rocks.
The vast flood plain that takes its name
from Sulfur River.
The meeting there has a long history which seems to have been dredged
from the swamp itself.
It's been almost two centuries
has been out places like Mercer Bayou,
Carter Lake, and Gifford Hills.
For years as my research into
The Boggy Creek case continues,
I find myself constantly backing up
to these locations.
These are wild places from southern Arkansas.
Hectares and hectares wild, overgrown land
flooded with murky black bayou waters.
- Of course now the bottom here
Run the base of Bayou Mercy and Sulfur
which remains almost the same
as usual.
Because it's only uninhabitable.
There are lots of land
no one has ever set foot I'm sure about that.
- The area around here is in Fouke,
abundance of animals.
Every big predator will do it only have one day here.
I mean, pig is easy.
They are there to take it I think.
And you see more and more
dead animals in the forest, bones.
You know that it requires a large predator
to drop the size of an animal.
- [Lyle] The lower ground is fed
by many waterways and this
there is nothing more famous from Boggy Creek itself.
But for all that fame,
Boggy Creek is a little more than one small creek
The snake passed Miller County.
This may look disappointing
it's a historic advantage in famous films.
However, keep track of clear numbers
sightings that occur places along the waterway
makes it significant.
River meanders west of Fouke under
major highways, through farms,
fields, and dense forests,
and finally spill over to Days Creek.
So does the film make Boggy Creek part of the legend?
Or is it a legendary status dates back further?
I came to find out that Willy Smith,
same as Willy Smith who has a peanut field
where the trace is found
told a reporter for Victoria Advocate
experienced by her sister
creatures near Boggy Creek.
So far in 1908.
In 1955 Smith claimed himself
has been haunted by creatures near his house.
Not surprisingly, is located along Boggy Creek.
- Days Creek and Boggy Creek still exist
OK too.
And that is the river where there are many snakes,
turtles, beavers, fish, gar,
all kinds of wild animals from that nature.
- Stories coming out of Mercer Bayou
and along Boggy Creek more
can be trusted when you sit and listen to them.
- Most are in the Boggy Creek area.
Remote parts of Miller county.
We have one couple fishing Sulfur River and hear something
come through the forest.
And seeing it go down into briars
and debris and the items have gone up in the bank.
We see it going down there
they come out and completely disappear.
They say when they see it immediately
turn and start rising again.
But they describe it as
big monsters, as they say.
Only on your little one (talking too fast).
Right now, you know,
only two people are fishing.
- That's November 2, 2011.
And I'm here at Thornton Wells.
And I forgot my game the camera came down on bayou.
We experienced a big storm that night.
So my wife calls me and says
"You have to go get you the camera comes out of bayou."
So I went to bayou to get my camera.
I am on my way to military duty,
so I'm still in my ACU, my Army stuff.
I go down here and get out of the truck,
walk about 60 yards and something
already in between, or already here,
between me and my truck.
And I got a knock, it knocked three times.
That's sequential.
There is nothing sporadic.
That's kind of weird.
- [Lyle] The Legend of Boggy Creek
may not bequeath a legend at all
if it's not for Crabtree's.
As a child I am very aware of that name
thanks for the film and it's a musical interlude
who sings hey Travis Crabtree.
The Crabtree family has become locally owned for Fouke
for more than a century now.
They live and work in the same wild land
that some speculate Boggy Monster Creek calls home.
Ad far back as the mid 1950s,
family members claim to have it
appearance of the animal.
None of Crabtree's is more bound
for Fouke monsters from Smokey Crabtree.
- [Smokey] I was born the banks of the Sulfur River.
Seven miles from a a small town called Fouke.
They are seven children in the family.
My father died when I was five years old.
Leaving mother with seven children
to raise there in bank from the river in the forest.
Seven miles from the nearest grocery store.
But we grow in forests with animals.
Now the creature that we all seek
for 30 or 40 years.
Some people call it Bigfoot.
Some of them call them Fouke monsters.
Some of them call it creature.
But it will take a long time
for they have defeated animals.
- I grew up with Crabtree children.
One of my best friends is one of Crabtree's boys.
His brothers should be people
who has seen it later.
And I take a lot of stock for what
they say they're being truth when they see it.
- [Lyle] Smokey's son Lynn has one
the most legendary sightings.
In 1965 when Lynn was only 14 years old
he met creatures on the back
of their property when hunting squirrels
in the forest bordering Crabtree Lake.
It was late afternoon when Lynn heard
what he thinks sounds like a family dog
caught on a barbed wire fence.
- [Smokey] Everything at once belongs to her Dogs are hung on a fence.
But the dog sounds like that it kills itself so he thinks I'm better off
and try to get the dog out of there.
So he jumps and starts running out there.
And when he got where he could see,
That damn creature makes that noise
like a dog hung on a fence.
And he stands on the edge of the water.
His full back is not for the boy.
And the boy now 60 steps from him.
And nothing, nothing between them he and the creature.
He can see the side of his head,
and the back part, and all on one side.
And he said that thing
release body language
who told him that he was very upset.
And the arm depends,
His arms are longer than his legs.
The way he bends.
And he said it looked somewhere between
animals and humans.
And he said sure enough it gave up.
And he walked on the old road.
The way he came down he might never
see the boy standing there.
Walking towards the boy who is looking down.
And he kissed the boy before he saw it.
And he stopped very short
and he breathes all in the air.
And immediately the joker saw it.
And he doesn't take his property turn him off again.
He continues to kiss the air
and he continues to bow further and further.
He wants to know what that child is.
But he does not want to be closer.
He said the thing looked quite like animals
he doesn't fix it to talk to him.
But it's quite like a man
that he is afraid to shoot him.
So he stands up and has to inch.
And then it starts slowly
pushed towards him.
Having hair all over his body.
He said he knew he couldn't hurt it
with his rifle, squirrel shot.
So he shot because his eyes hoped
make it leave it alone.
Or damage eyesight.
Acting as if you never heard a gunshot.
He emptied his gun, shot him for the third time.
Then he turns around and starts walking looking back
and load the weapon.
And then the object doesn't chase it
but it moves faster.
Rather keep the same distance.
He said, the first thing you know
he was filling his weapon when he was shot.
And he said when he got the gun loaded
his fear follows him.
And he never stops and stands up again.
He headed home and when he came home
he really panicked.
- On Crabtree's side,
they are boys living in the forest.
That's where their food comes from.
And most of the time if they see something
they will not know anyone outside the family.
So, you get stories from them
because they don't understand what they see.
If they understand it,
many times you won't hear about it.
- I hate you telling you, my great-grandmother
tells about this so far before the film comes out.
He will tell us that he is Crabtree.
He is married to a Jones.
and some characters during the film
relate to him and my mother.
They are silent.
Have you ever met Crabtree's?
or Jones, they are silent people.
They save a lot of things for themselves.
They don't tell a lot of things.
So if you don't hear from them,
most of the things you can't trust.
- [Lyle] While Lynn has the real one
meet that creature,
and Travis continues to enjoy
fame as a feature film star,
their father, Smokey, is the person
that makes a living legend.
Despite the dramatic contradictions
with Charles Pierce for compensation films,
Smokey can never run faster the specter of the monster.
He pinned three books about this problem,
appeared in documentary film
and television news segments that discuss it.
And generally recognized as
authority in Fouke creatures.
Ironically, apart from him a significant relationship
with that monster,
Smokey never sees himself.
In 2016 Smokey Crabtree died.
Until his death he was still alive
looking for the animal
haunts him for most of his life.
Among those who have crossed the road
with Boggy Creek monsters I found a few
more credible than Terry Sutton.
He came to me with a story not like what I heard.
Not only because he sees the creature hiding
in the forest behind his house,
but because it is eternal the effect is obvious.
Add to this that Terry never spoke
openly about the appearance before my interview.
And you have a unique separate story
from many Fouke meetings.
- That was in February 1982.
- I think it's definitely one of them
important things when I talk to you
about the date of your experience,
because it kind of shows it continues.
When the media frenzy has stopped
and all of that continues apparitions still occur.
So that is a significant point and
one of the first in the 80s.
Because the 70s were a lot of the impression of these people.
Wow that's a movie and a group of people
having the appearance of that time and all disappearing.
Maybe the media, and press, and the movie goes,
but for someone who lives here constantly.
- When you look back at your life
it's a bit fast forward
and there are many fuzzy areas.
The majority of your life is rather vague.
But something is certain events are very clear
and that day is still like a rerun
like a movie in my head, it's very clear.
So I went down here, the boat was parked
at the end of the place that is always there.
Get on the boat, drive around,
and then fishing on the internet.
At the end of the day I will return.
And right about this angle here
when I come round the corner is when
I noticed that the creature
is running towards retribution
and then go down to the river.
I stop clear and pay attention to it
goes to retribution.
And then it doesn't move until I see it
disappear on the hill.
That might be about, it's about seven feet in height.
He's thin, black-haired.
The posture feels bad.
Walking slumped, shoulder forward,
and very long steps.
- [Lyle] Terry, Lloyd's father
know a lot about Fouke and it's history as anyone.
Amateur photographer, Lloyd raised Terry
being a man who can handle things for himself.
And none of them are given for high stories or hysteria.
Lloyd plays a key role in building
While he himself never saw the creature,
his memory of the night Terry carried out as beautiful as he has find it for himself.
- And Terry just did it home, when I drove.
And he came out on the terrace there
and he covered his face.
I say, "Terry, what's the problem?"
He said, "My father just saw that monster came down in the pond."
I already believed before he saw it.
I speak with many people who have seen it before.
He makes people believe from many people.
Because he is very reliable,
they know that he won't make something
like that.
- Clear for someone who talks to people
like this often,
it's not isolated for one person.
This is something all must face and exit.
And of course I appreciate you
takes me through this because
I know this is a private event and something
which can last long effects for years.
- In reflection, it's just a fact
something that happens.
And even take all the emotions from him
it's just a fact something that happened in your life.
This is an event in your life.
And whether people believe it or not is their own choice.
But you cannot deny the fact of what I see.
- [Lyle] The Suttons live in
small community of Jonesville,
where in 1960 a number of sightings
from what was later called The Jonesville Monster happened.
Maybe it's not coincidence that it's so much
from this initial occurrence
from the relative security of the car.
Usually, the driver sees less
of large black shapes that cross the road
like dart into the forest at high speed.
It makes sense that so many sightings
happens on the road.
Any animal crosses dense forests
and the endless swamp covers southern Arkansas
finally have to make their way
gravel or black dirt paths
which penetrates the country.
As far as 1955, two Jonesville residents
told to see these creatures, as they say,
goes like a man but first was too hairy to be a man,
cross the road when they are driving one night.
In 1965 a young Fouke boy claimed to see
a large furry animal while walk on a dirt road.
The child continues to say that the creature is
have tried to chase it before
disappear into the forest.
A year later a school bus driver saw
same creature morning hours.
During 1971 several sightings of a monkey or creatures like gorillas enter.
One of the most memorable things just happened
weeks after the famous Ford incident.
In this case three people see a suspected being
cross the road very close to Boggy Creek.
It seems to only drive from
one goal to another in Miller County
can cause encounter with the legend itself.
- At that time there was a lot of excitement.
The film just came out.
It's fresh in everyone's mind.
And sight up and down 71 Highway
between Texarkana and Shreveport.
Almost every day someone sees something.
If they don't see anything I think they made it up.
- One actual report is a
deputy sheriff and his family.
They drove near Boggy Creek,
they come north at 71.
And one family member pays attention to
something that stands on the west side of the road
and tell the driver.
And he starts slowing down because it's not normal.
Suddenly he got up and ran across.
In a matter of a few yards in front of them.
And say he's big, big, gorillas look like objects.
And he said he crossed and jumped over the fence
and keep going.
- And a year and a half ago
someone tells me you need to talk to someone.
I said, "This person, he is like one of my best friends."
He lives in south Texas.
I call him and I say, "You need to tell a story."
He said, "You know Gifford Hills, that place
" We parked at all the time in the southern state? "
I said" Oh yes, I know well. "
He said," I started walking down the road one morning,
"And I got about 50 meters on that road.
" And I looked up and there was something
"Stand in the middle of the road.
" And I stop. "
I say, "You know me, I have a weapon, I have a gun,
" I have my gun, I'm ready to go.
"I'm talking to him.
" I say "Who are you?!"
"That doesn't answer.
" I say, "Hey, I have a gun."
He said, "I will kill you."
And that's how he speaks.
He said, suddenly was not one thing there there are two things that stand there.
And that's just a little walk across the street.
- That's September 25, 2011.
I have gone to a friend's mine house
to do school work.
It may be more and more close around midnight.
I am ready, packing my books,
packing my laptop.
And go out to save it in my car.
I notice every time I go outside,
it's just good just weirdly silent.
There are no crickets, nothing.
I went down in the driveway of his house and I turned on 206
and then take rights and switch to 40.
Led to 10 towards my house.
And when I come restraint and go up the hill,
there are meadows here
and they have rolled straw
to get ready to be moved.
Well, there are pairs rolling in the field.
I don't know if it's like turning around
or squat and appear,
but something catches me oversees in this field.
And when my lights illuminate it,
I can see like a greenish color,
like a deer will whenever you see a deer.
And I pay attention to it.
Straw rolls about five feet.
Whenever I realize it, where is it,
The grass rolls are here on it.
As I see it, it's like happening
in an instant, very fast and gracefully almost.
It crosses the field
and shot in front of my car.
I slam my brake.
Literally from here to here.
I can see the monster as usual.
That is like in the position of a running man.
I can see his legs, it's hair.
It is more like a course looks dark brown.
That has left the entire back.
I can see muscle movements
like legs, muscles leg structure,
and arms, and surroundings back and goods.
That, big enough.
And it's just crossing the road
like a brush and barbed wire fence.
Scares me, yes, excited, just that kind of thing
a little excited and a little scared.
Because I mean you don't know if it's
it can be crazy or, what.
- My encounter with this object
happened the day i had
try to approach a crocodile.
I like taking photos of animals.
The love to take alligator is my passion.
I have walked in 15 feet black bears weighing 500 pounds.
I have walked on cows, deer.
Snakes, I rehabilitate wildlife so I handle
baby animals often.
And is on the way to a different location
what my cousin said.
That's hey you can see the crocodile here.
Driving on this dirt road
and become very slow.
And maybe 50 yards, 75 yards in front of me.
I glimpse something out of the forest.
That with two legs goes straight up.
Height seven or eight feet.
And that makes three steps and that's
across the street and into the forest.
Then, count yourself second by second.
I mean, and that's fair.
You kinda sit there absent-mindedly.
Because there is nothing sort of a wildlife book
or whatever you have seen
can describe what I just saw.
And what was that?
And in 15, 20 seconds I heard something shouting.
And I drew three turning points
on dirt roads and take off.
- [Lyle] Doyle Holmes lives near the riverbed,
good distance from downtown Fouke.
A family man with love for hunting and fishing,
Doyle knows this forest is better than almost everyone.
Doyle claims several meetings
with that creature and what happened
becomes the same field
Boggy Creek legend at most important characters stay.
In the movie, young Travis Crabtree stopped by
to visit an old hermit named Herb Jones
who lives deep in the buttocks.
The scene is based on reality as some
locals visit Herb Jones whenever possible.
Although living in prime Boggy Creek monster habitat,
Herb claims to have it never seen the creature.
Before we write the existence of beings
based on testimony one person however,
keep in mind that like that creature,
Herb avoids civilization and won't
want to hoard people disturbs his peace
and silent when they search for the monster
in the backyard itself.
Only a few of my people are found to have been run
Boggy Creek monsters more than once.
Fewer times I feel that it can be trusted.
After all, we've been looking for that creature for decades, maybe even centuries did not work.
What is the possibility that one person will do
running more than that once in his life?
However, given the proximity of Doyle
for isolation, lack of population forest stretch,
and the gloomy lake see some human intruders,
it is possible.
So take me through the incident
where you see that creature in Cypress's canopy.
How can you do it position, what do you see?
- Back in 2004 I decided to get up early
and go fishing one morning.
Lower the canoe and put it in
just before the sun comes in the morning.
I want to leave before noon
to have my line in the water.
And about 30 minutes later
when the sun starts to appear
I can hear sparks in the distance.
So I kind of want to get closer
to see what it is.
So I easily row
through morning mist.
When the sun starts brightly
a little high in the trees and shine through the fog
I can see a two-legged figure
in the distance under a pine tree.
And above ground water
and he is kicking water
make a hard splash like he is looking for something.
And at that time I was rowing,
see if I can get closer
without him seeing me.
And there is a point where I can
feel that he knows I'm there.
What I see is huge.
Feet is very big, legs are hairy.
And you can know what it is
are very strong bipedal animals.
- What is your high estimate
if you can take an estimate.
- At that moment with his feet
I have to say that
at least seven feet.
It looks like an animal weighing at least 500 pounds.
- [Lyle] Even though it happened in the early 2000s
Doyle's description is almost the same
as Terry Sutton who sightings occurred in 1982.
Or Will Lunsford who saw him as a boy in the late 1970s.
Actually, their description
sounds almost identical to what people
is looking before The Boggy Creek Legend
and back to the 1950s.
And what about those reports
Furry wild men from the 1800s?
While the description of the 1800s
wrapped in terminology we don't use today,
their most basic, what do people describe
is upright hair closed, human like being
who avoid humans and stay with themselves.
Monster Boggy Creek doesn't just appear
in 1971 when making headlines.
It's been here all this time.
- There were rumors a few years ago trains, circus trains.
We have two railroad tracks here.
Maybe not even a mile.
From circus train accidents and something
can get off the circus train.
So I go to world books,
I see all animals.
That's not laziness.
That is not the type of bear.
That is nothing, the closest is like
the word resembles an ape.
Like a gorilla, except an eight-foot gorilla
which weighs about 800 pounds.
- Talk to many people who live
in this area that really looks
something on their page.
They claim to be gorillas.
A monkey type animal.
And some even believe it is a big bear
until it runs out.
Then the story changes.
I have talked to the hunter have been exhausted from the forest.
Unexplained sounds.
I have friends who claim people
has changed apes in this area.
- This is not a panther.
It's impossible, it's not an animal.
An animal will.
You know, panthers don't enter
and tap on the window try to enter the house.
And the panther can't different things
what people say.
This is clearly wrong.
This is something broad.
Something that knows how to enter the house.
Already knocked on the window, knock on the door.
Things like that, so this is not an animal.
- Every time I run from the guarantee of straw
to the front of my car it's like,
I have this picture.
Same as the picture of in front of my head.
I can see his muscles movements like legs.
Muscle structure legs, and arms,
and behind and items.
The hands and feet are actually darker
of hair color.
Kind of like a monkey or ape.
- [Lyle] As for the proof of the monster,
I keep going back to three tracks in a row.
Why are three toes?
If it's not a hoax or animal nature is misidentified,
then what kind of bipedal, seven-foot creature
can bring himself on foot only with three digits?
A few years ago hunted pigs in the same place
the area where the meeting took place,
Doyle and his son found a line of songs
not like that found in Willy Smith bean field.
Only this time with five toes.
Like so many mysteries connected
to Boggy Creek monsters,
This seems to cause more questions.
Many people say that Fouke Monsters have three toes.
And I mean this back for what film
and that has become something related
with Fouke monsters.
But this is five toed--
- Yes.
- Which is closer to what we see as
Bigfoot tracks.
In your opinion, it looks more natural
that he has five toes?
- Yes, I personally have never seen
three endless tracks that do not turn into cranes.
All the songs we've seen since,
and we have seen quite a lot some in berry patch
for years and they all have five toes.
(loud roar) (unpleasant music)
- [Lyle] Some elements The Legend of Boggy Creek
is as impressive as famous screaming creatures.
But is the scream based on reality?
Looks like that.
In 1916 a family traveled near Fouke
find a hairy figure that issues
a scary scream.
And there are other reports about
strange sounds radiating from the forest in the area.
Smokey Crabtree himself reports hearing
strange shouts near his house more than once.
And in my own file I have lots of reports
from around Fouke from strange screams
or shout accompanied by appearance of the creature.
It seems that whatever it is Monster Boggy Creek is possible,
do not hesitate to hear it
like about being seen.
While preparing to record Doyle's interview,
we hear what might happen
those creatures call ourselves.
What is it (muttering)?
- [Doyle] That is a tree node.
Now it's about times you start hearing them.
- [Narrator] Doyle, did you hear it?
- [Narrator] What is that?
What was that?
- [Narrator] Maybe one of them.
- [Narrator] I'm recording.
- [Narrator] Yes here it is times you started hearing them.
- [Narrator] Can you take steps...
- [Narrator] What is that?
(cricket)
- [Narrator] Getting closer.
(unpleasant music)
- [Lyle] Even though we can't say for sure,
very likely that Doyle and me
has a brush with the same creature
who have staked out this land for decades.
- I believe this creature is a kind of primate.
I have a lot of places.
I might have entered 35 different countries
and hear lots of different things animals in the forest.
This particular animal I haven't heard much.
The only thing I can associate with sound
which I hear comes out of wood is a Howler monkey.
And they are not native to southern Arkansas.
They are not here.
But that's the closest thing I can produce.
- And that holler is modeled with shouts.
I can't imitate that sound,
but it's terrible.
I've heard bears make sounds.
I've heard the Bobcats, I already heard binoculars making sounds.
And they can make your hair stand tall,
but this is terrible in sound.
And as I said, there is nothing at all
approach to compare
what sound is that.
- [Lyle] If the monster is really real,
then the creature must have it
sustainable population.
It is impossible to have only one Monster Boggy Creek.
While reports about the creature share
general description,
there are hair color variations,
size, facial features, and even attitude.
That's not something you hear
as often as a large appearance
predictable adult beings,
but reports about teenagers did come.
The idea seems to come to Charles Pierce himself as an inevitable sequel The Legend of Boggy Creek,
titled Boggy Creek 2 The Legend Continues.
Not only is displayed classic robber monsters,
but that's the offspring too.
Like all good stories, Boggy Creek 2 baby monsters
seems to have taken root in reality.
It's true that I see again,
seven eight feet high easily.
And I can't explain to you why
I have a feeling that it is a teenager.
Besides I work with animals
and I see animals all the time
and it doesn't have an adult appearance.
It's really juvenilistic in characteristics.
But it's not an adult.
Whatever.
It's not full in my opinion.
- So, let's talk about
your latest experience.
Discuss it a little.
You said you were down,
Are you looking for firewood?
Is that true?
Can you take me through what happened that day?
- Well about this time at night or evening.
And I drew my old Jeep here in the forest
and take my saw and start cut some firewood.
I went down there, my wife stayed in the truck watching.
I hear cries that sounded rather like children.
And I started making it my way through the brush
to see what it is, to see if _ a child is missing here.
And when I walk towards me
closer to the source of the shout,
it's getting louder and harder
until it almost turns into a scream.
And then when I have to through the bushes
and really can see it,
I am amazed that it is Bigfoot teenagers.
Maybe about five feet.
Maybe a little shorter than five feet.
And covered in hair.
Strange human face.
And at that time you can hear,
I think mom and dad come.
And they start getting angry
Because they can hear their baby boys cry.
They know he's in trouble.
- So the sound you hear comes,
explain it.
- Sounds like four or 500 yards at first.
But they start getting louder and louder
and it's getting closer.
I returned to the beach and I saw the truck
and there are no people in it.
And I go, "Where's my wife?"
So I ran to the truck and
see it, he hid truck floor boards.
He has heard that voice from the big one coming,
it scared him, so he rolled up the window,
lock the door, and hide truck floor boards.
- [Lyle] It's been more than four decades
since it first appeared in my life.
And I still know very little about the creature.
Like many of them who claim to have seen it,
hard to believe.
The mystery that surrounds this case
just as confusing today they were a century ago.
If it's real, a monster called
seems like an ape in appearance.
Covered in hair and having feet with three to five toes.
That makes it isolated,
uninhabited area in Miller County.
Only occasionally penetrate the waterway
like Boggy Creek.
Maybe looking for food or a more suitable habitat.
The most important, once seen,
leaving that impression never running faster or forgotten.
- And after I saw that I kept trying
to connect with the fact that you are not crazy.
You see what you see.
And then I received a lot of ridicule
but my story never.
I have told my wife my story.
We have been married 34 years years, never changed.
And that will never change because of that
like a small video circle runs through my head.
I can see the same thing over and over, and again, and again.
- I see something.
I don't know what that is.
I am skeptical of Bigfoot until
I see what I see.
- Since I saw it
it becomes you know, like,
I think it's a bit like under the cover of secret desires.
Because it's a mystery.
And one day, some how someone will
find evidence we all need
to prove our sanity.
- After you forget about fear
from appearance,
it's very short lived for me.
What becomes so much bigger fear for me is people.
The reaction, how people will accept the story,
what they will think about.
That's why this is the first time
that I have talked about this event.
Especially the first time I've ever been
bring anyone through the entire experience on the site.
Although I have told some people.
I have never come today
to the site and walk whoever passed it before.
And much to do with fear of people
more than fear of the creature.
- Yes, I think it becomes
from something you see movies or on the screen
later in your life it translated into reality.
And you are in legend, you are part of it.
- Of course, the movie becomes real to me.
For years with what I see
and maybe live in the heart
Bigfoot country in the south,
This is truly alive.
And I live in the movie now.
- [Lyle] Boggy Creek
monster sightings hasn't stopped yet.
Today the creature seems to be more alive than before.
While many expect that legacy
Pierce's film finally fades,
that life like that was introduced to a new generation
horror fans and those who have curious eyes
for the unexplained.
While developing violates some of them
Forest area of Miller County,
lower ground remains the same
as usual.
This is where the creature is,
or memory of creatures still alive.
- I have seen more things happening here
in the past 10 years I've seen in the past.
Although there are many sightings.
The sighting never stops.
It's been a long time.
- Since the film came out many things have changed.
One thing, we become more,
I don't know Burbia.
This is far more advanced than before.
Before people will leave their homes
At 3 am,
they don't go home until sunset
when they finish working.
So they in the forest collect food
out of the forest.
So now people go to town, they work eight hours,
they come and enter in front of the television.
So the real number is the people in the forest
in my mind has decreased.
Because unless you are a woodcutter,
You are a farmer, or you are deliberately
go here for several reasons.
There is no reason to just appear.
- The last call we came to
there is a girl from the north
who visit family here in Fouke.
These two little girls ride bikes
and they drive one in front of the other.
And other little girls go down
and stop, turn around,
and his friend is not there.
He has been destroyed.
So he came back and said what happened?
He said, "Right in between we are big monsters
" just came out of weeds and ran across in front of us.
"You don't see it?"
He said, "No, I just kept my eyes on the road."
This little girl is scared to death.
Now this is a little girl
and this little girl from the north,
and this is right before I retire.
That was 2006.
- [Lyle] In October 2000, Stacy Hudson,
an outside worker and bow hunter
Meet Boggy Creek
in the tree standing early one morning.
As a result, Stacy's life is changed dramatically.
What I learned from the Stacy
appearance is that despite modernization of southern Arkansas,
That creature might still call
Sulfur home river bed.
- Arriving at the stand, the stands in circles all backwards like something is messing it up.
But they don't steal it.
It's circling so I just entered
and enforce it and go up.
When it's a full moon.
That may be one hour before noon
and I heard something appear beside me,
so I just slowly look up
and that's two things.
Clouds move in and out
so you can see one second
and then it will become a little darker.
But I mean it's near.
That's probably 15 feet away.
When they are under me,
one of them reaches out,
touching the side of my foot, down,
I think it's reaching for my rock climbing
and reach out.
Because I have an arc in my lap,
my arrow sticks out in front of me.
He reached out, grabbed my arrow,
and I guess it cuts it off Because he started shouting.
And then he just shouted all the way
get to bayou.
Fall and then I hear it cross the creek.
And I guess I just sat there in shock
for about 30 minutes to get daylight.
And after that, I did not bow hunting for about six years.
- [Lyle] Today, Fouke is still a quiet little city
off Highway 71.
The gap stops on the road to elsewhere for some people.
And a great legend for others.
The Legend of Boggy Creek was created
icons of what is there only local folklore.
Even though there are still people who want
better forget the monster,
For the most part Fouke has been adopted
that creature as their local mascot.
In the Miller County museum you can
see the impact of the famous legend
on their local culture.
Then there is a Monster Mart.
What used to be ordinary department store
has become something much better.
Museum section, souvenir section,
Monster Mart has become Boggy Creek Headquarters
for monster hunters from all over the world.
Obviously Fouke sees the value in legend.
(slow music)
- This is part of our heritage here.
I know some people might not like it,
but some people do it.
But you understand that whatever you are talking about.
That is my main thrush
is trying to get something done here in my shop.
And have something that will happen
more than types of inheritance dealing with the community.
I want to expand more into this type of museum
and artifacts and things that mean
something to see, something to ponder.
- You know Fouke is Fouke.
Only Fouke.
But now whenever you talk about Fouke,
You know, you don't say Miller County,
it doesn't ring a bell.
But you say Boggy Creek or you say Fouke,
then suddenly there is someone in the crowd,
more than three will
know something about that.
That brings a lot of things here.
- Sighting of monsters has brought attention
the world in a few cities and small rivers
and the Miller County area.
- [Lyle] I often ask myself what it is
about this place that was made the creature settled here.
That might be something simple.
Animals that need primitive habitats
with lots of food and water.
And abundant cover.
But maybe, like so many locations
famous for the film,
it just wants to be forgotten.
Where is the peanut field they are three famous ends
tracks found are still there.
But Ford's house, Herb Jones's old hut,
and even the original General Store
everything disappears.
But if you know where to look,
You might still catch a glimpse of the remains.
Today is Searcy's house,
although many are displayed films, abandoned.
Some of the family call this place home
has long since moved.
Many witnesses play a role
in the story of a creature,
prefer to leave the piece their life behind.
This is certainly understandable.
The creature tends to haunt those they meet
long after they separate.
What keeps bringing me back
year after year to this small city
and that's a rough wilderness?
Why I keep chasing creatures
Does anyone say it's just a myth?
Folk stories, legends?
Actually, I can't stop.
Like so many of those who have experienced
Boggy Creek monsters,
it haunts me.
Not because I've seen it,
but because I want to see it.
So I returned to this place
who first caught my imagination
many years ago when it flashed
to live on The Legend of Boggy Creek.
I am back because I want to hear
Creatures cry sadly for myself.
I returned because I wanted to know the truth.
