📍 Location

📝 Description

April-May 1978Hope, Arkansas. Hempstead countySighting was at a farm house (no longer there) on hwy 73 between hwy 278 and hwy 195. My family lived on a farm with all of your typical farm animals, and we all worked on the farm. There wasn't much sitting and watching TV. The house was your typical little farm house that set back off the hwy about 50ft and behind it was a huge pasture with cows and horses. To the left of the house there was a small thicket that had a pond in the middle of it. Which is cleared out now. Directly behind the house another small patch of trees and brush on the pasture side of the barbed wire fence. The back yard was butted up to the fenced pasture where my horse Diamond would avoid and would always go the other side of the house to visit me. Back yard was big and full fresh cut grass. I didn't like playing in the back or on the side that had the thicket and the pond, but this day my mom had bought me a big red ball. I took the ball outside while my mom and 2 older brothers were in the house finishing up chores. I'm kicking the ball around and wind up in the back yard with it. There was a foldable chaise my mom used to lay out in. So I started kicking the ball around that chair playing soccer in my head with this big red ball. I kicked it really hard and it rolled to that small thicket behind the house and stopped at the fence. I ran really fast after it, bent down to pick it up and when I had the ball in my hands I heard something above me I looked up and there was this huge monster as I described at the time. It had it's huge hands on the fence bending over the fence at me. It wasn't too far from my face and looked me right in the eyes. I was starting to scream, but it took me a minute because I was frozen. It looked at me like it was studying me and when I started to scream it neared it's mouth open at me and it's human like eyes was darting around my house. (Because I was screaming at the top of my lungs by then.) And i knew it knew it was in deep crap, i kept screaming and i was running backward away from it while i was screaming bloody murder. I saw it up close and very personal. I felt at the time it wanted me, not sure if it wanted me for food or as a pet. As I was running backwards from it and it was looking at my house and decided to run from me. By this time I was up against my house screaming with my nails dug into my house. My mom came running from the front of the house and my brothers came from the other side of the house. They were asking me what's wrong what happen?! My mom thought I was hurt. She was looking for blood. My brothers and mom were asking me questions and I never took my eyes off where I last saw it. My mom and brothers finally got me calmed down enough to tell them about the monster I saw. At first my mom didn't know what to think. She got scared herself. My 2 brothers were scared out of their wits when I told them and my mom. My brothers had been telling my mom that when they go fishing in the thicket pond there would be rocks thrown into the water and were blaming each other at first. Then they thought my dad was messing with them, but he'd be at work during that time. My bothers were very shaken at me seeing this monster. Looking back now at this it makes me wonder if it had been watching us for quite some time..waiting...After I told them of this experience they did not go back to the pond by themselves after this. I was 5-6 and they are 7 and 9 years older than me. It's waist was well over the barbed wire fence which the top wire came midway to top of a quarter horses back. The top wire came to the monsters upper mid thigh. Human type eyes you could tell it was very smart because when I started screaming it immediately looked right at my house for other humans and got nervous. I felt It wanted me. It had long orangutan colored hair all over it. The hands looked like a gorilla but had a full thumb like a human, and not the nub like a gorilla. It had hazel yellowish eyes. It's face covered with leathery looking skin with hair. Long arms very muscular. Walked and ran on two legs. It smelled like a unkempt wet dog, mixed with a skunk and goat smell. Many years later visiting a zoo I smelled the primates section and my memory was like yeah that primate smell with goat and skunk and dog. My brother was a very good artist and some years later he had me describe it to him in detail and he drew it exactly, but have since lost the paper. This thing wanted me and as a child I suffered trauma from experiencing this. I wish I would've never seen it. I used to tell people about it until I got to my mid 20's and got made fun of for seeing it an �imaginary� creature. It wasn't until I was 12 or 13 that I came across that bigfoot movie that's real popular. I fell out because I showed it to my mom and said MOM! This is what it was but it didn't look like this it was orange colored. Then I knew I saw a Bigfoot that day. It's permanently in my mind of that day I wil
