On This Day in Weird, June 23...
1982: While fishing from a boat near the Union/Calhoun County in Arkansas, a man and
his teenage grandson smell an odor like "a sort of a garbage, urine, skunk
smell," then see "a large, maybe a little over 7 ft, hairy looking
man, attempting to hide behind a large cypress tree" at the water's edge.
The youth is armed, but his grandfather warns him against shooting. Twenty-five
years later, writing to the GCBRO website, the former youth describes
the creature in more detail: "I
would say the thing was 7 ft at least, maybe between that and 7'4", and
weighed close to 500 lb. It was huge. I was 6'1" and 250 lb. back then,
and it was at least 2 of me. Dark black hair, not really fur, about 4-6"
over the body, except for eyes palms and feet. Was thin in the butt. Skin was a
darker color, but I don't know if that was from dirt, or the color. Massive
muscles all over. Its head was kind of rounded, no point, and looked kind of
small for his size."
