What do you think about this?
On the night of May 2, 1971, in the small town of Fouke, Arkansas, Bobby and Elizabeth Ford were settling in when something reached through their window. Elizabeth, dozing on the couch, woke to a clawed arm pushing through the screen. Her husband ran outside and came face to face with it in the dark. A creature close to seven feet tall, covered in long dark hair, with eyes that glowed red. It threw an arm around his shoulder. Bobby tore loose and ran so hard he went straight through the front door without stopping to open it.
By morning the panic was real. Investigators combing the property found tracks pressed into the dirt around the house. Here is the detail that nobody could explain. The footprints had only three toes. Almost every animal in North America, and every known primate, has five. Plaster casts were taken. No one has ever matched them to a living thing.
The story became the 1972 film The Legend of Boggy Creek, and the sightings did not stop with the movie. People around those bottomlands have reported the same hairy giant for more than fifty years.
The truth may be far stranger than we have been told.
A bear in the dark, a hoax that got out of hand, or something that still walks the Boggy Creek bottoms? What do you think the Fords saw?
