For more than a century, reports of a strange beast known as the
Fouke Monster have circulated among the locals in southern
Arkansas. Described as a large, hairy man-like creature, it's said
to haunt the vast Sulphur River Bottoms as it travels the secluded
waterway known as Boggy Creek.
Over the years, the creature has been seen by numerous witnesses
including respected citizens, experienced hunters, famous
musicians, and even a police officer. The encounters were often so
shocking, they served as inspiration for the classic horror film,
"The Legend of Boggy Creek," by Charles B. Pierce.
Tales of the creature have long existed in scattered pieces
across news clippings, memoirs, police reports, and movies, but it
is only now that the complete history of the Fouke Monster has been
assembled in one place. This book collects all the facts, theories,
and amazing sighting reports, and weaves them into a fascinating
tale about this undeniable southern mystery, one that lives on, as
frightening encounters with the Beast of Boggy Creek are still
being reported today
