Possible Bigfoot Sighting - Southern Arkansas, Summer 1997

Welcome to Spooky Appalachia. This week, we are taking a look at a story sent to us by another one of our patrons. This story is of a possible Bigfoot encounter he had as a kid.


I was walking through the forest one summer evening in Southern Arkansas. I had gotten into a small gully when I saw what I thought was a bear. I wasn't sure though it looked very, very humanoid. "Maybe a deformed bear?" I thought... nope! I left a sandwich I was carrying with me on a rock and backed away. When the thing turned around, it was quite human looking! It was about 7-8 feet tall, and had dark brown fur and was extremely bulky looking. It took the sandwich, and walked off ignoring me. As it walked off it bumped into a small tree and knocked it over, it must have been incredibly strong!


I was a little kid at this time, probably 11 years old. I have no proof and no one believed me. But I know a dang bear and that could not have been a bear! I have spent my life in these forests and never seen anything like that before!!


Thanks Jordan, for sending us this story. We believe you! I’m sure a lot of our fans tuning in believe you too. Growing up I’ve spent a lot of time in the woods too. I can’t imagine running into something like that on one of the strolls I used to do through the woods as a kid.


Remember if you have a story you’d like to see get featured here you can email us at webmaster@spookyappalachia.com. As you can see we’ve changed up or format for these stories, so if you like this let us know!
