Just talked with a friend of mine......

During the first week of Nov. 2005, ********* of the community of Dallas, Arkansas(near Mena) was driving to a friends home to check on it. Around 2 PM as she climbed the hill in her car she saw a "brown hair-covered ape" standing on the side of the road. "It was definitely not a bear." She said that," It was slim and about 7 ft tall. My boys are 6-4 and 6-3 and it was bigger than they are. I stopped the car and watched it for about 3 minutes."(Q) "from here to that tree"(about 40- 50 yards) "It's hair was about 4 inches long. I didn't think I could back down the hill so I started going again and looked around to see if there were any more. When I looked back it was gone. It must have just jumped over the bank(about a 20 ft drop) because there was a high bank on the right side of the road. There was no way it could have gone up that bank."(Q) "It was like a human but it's arms and legs were longer(proportionally)."

hi jon thanks for telling me & everyone here about this new arkansas sasquatch sighting. are you & arkansas researchers going to the sighting location with cameras to look for sasquatch footprints etc take a photo of the sighting location. is the sighting location mentioned on any maps from arkansas. is the sri & tbrc going to help with this research into this new sighting this week. keep us posted here. bill p.s. try to reinterview the eyewittness & people in the area to see if there was other sasquatch activity. maybe contact the police or goverment base in arkansas to see if they gotten any reports of strange or unexplained wildlife in the area. it would great if the eyewittness draw a sketch of the sasquatch looked like. maybe tell the eyewittness to come to the bigfoot forums to give a statement about the sighting. maybe put nightcams in the sighting location area. thanks bill

Great report! How neat to get a whole three (3) minutes to look at the BF! You actually get the time to make some observations when you have that kind of time to do so. Being in the car is especially nice because if the BF had decided to approach, you're already where you'd want to be. That to me is a perfect sighting.

It's weird, I went to BFRO to see what other sightings take place in Arizona. There is definitely something wrong with BFRO's database because not all reports are coming up. At first I thought it was because I had it set to bring up only for A or B settings, but in fact I didn't even see that option. In my state of Minnesota there are 28 sightings in their database and only 3 came up (and there was a mixture of A&B). I notice they've been making some changes to their website so maybe something got screwed up or maybe I did something wrong. Just cause I mentioned it, I'll go into it again and it will work.

Note! I just went to BFRO again and they have a whole new format and I didn't realize it. Interesting!

Hey Jon, thanks for posting your friend's sighting. We just moved to Arkansas, Polk county and live just west of Mena. Camera and camcorder are allways in our vehicles even if it's just a run into town.
One of these days, we'll be at the right place, at the right time.
It's pure chance.

This area is perfect habitat for these critters.

Painthorse....

It might be fun for you to talk with her.....she's a really nice lady and I know you'll like her.....pictures of the sighting site would be good to have and post here......if you could do a longer interview with her than I did I'm sure you'll be able to pull out more information ......somebody here came up with an interview form some time ago.....can't recall who.....might be kewl to use it.......

Anyway.....i know it will be fun for you......she should be home soon......say "Hi" for me........jon

Thank you Jon. Will do.

hi painthorse please keep me & everyone here informed of your current investigations etc of this very interesting arkansas sasquatch encounter. i hope do a wonderful interview with the eyewittnesses. please bring your camera to the sighting location to take photos of possible evidence etc. thanks bill

hi teresa arsquatch are you going to help painthorse with her investigations into this new sasquatch sighting im just wondering. good evening bill

Lookin' forward to the results! :popcorn2:

Jon: Thanks for posting your friend's sighting! :popcorn2:

How did she feel afterward? Was she afraid or did it give her the creeps or what?

If I ever had a sighting that clear on the side of the road, I'd want to go back again and again to check things out. Has she been back yet?

Thanks!

Jon, please check your pm box.

Bill, I'd be really surprised if Painty needed any help, but I'm sure interested anyhow! As our wonderful Bill Green says, Painty, keep me posted Girl!

T

hi teresa arsquatch im glad you agree with my post about you helping painthorse with the investigation. keep me posted ok. bill

Lol T, I'll keep you and Bill posted if there's any news.

Bill, I took some pics today with my new camera from my property facing Rich Mountain in the Ouchita national forest and if my computer allows me, and I can figure out how to do it, I'll post some pics in the members lounge so you can see what this area looks like.

It sure is pretty!!!

hi painthorse yes keep me & everyone here any new updates of your investigation into the arkansas sasquatch sighting location. thanks bill :bf: post some the photos of the sighting location in this thread if you want to ok please.

Just an update:
As of Sunday, I have been unable to make contact with the witness. But today's weather was pleasant enough to part from the armchair's and hit the woods.
Myself, Scotto, my husband Charlie and son Chas drove the short distance to Dallas. Not knowing the specific details of the sighting location, we scouted places of interest trying to match up areas in regards to what Jon had posted in reference to a hilly area, high bank on one side of the road and a drop off embankment on the opposite.
We also scouted a few game trails in the hopes of finding tracks, but the terrain is difficult, very hard packed and rocky making it almost impossible to find any type of animal prints.
We decided to search the creek beds and muddy areas that still had standing water from last weeks heavy rainfall. Nothing unusual was discovered other than some heavy machinery ruts and some scuff marks along a creek bed that were due to normal animal activity.
In one area a game trail was noticed off the road coming down an embankment, the 4 strand barbed wire fencing that bordered the property was examined for any possible hair snags.


This area is what many would consider prime habitat for these animals, there are national forest boundaries, areas of dense woods and limited human population. Even though the area had been in a drought, there are numerous creeks that still maintain a natural water supply.

I was truly impressed with the steep grade drop offs. (scary) In many areas that we explored, I would not be exagerating to say that some dropoffs were 40-50 foot, if not deeper.

I also learned my first lesson today about Arkansas mud puddles.




:laugh:

One of the many creek areas.

This pic shows a forestry road. The drop off on the left side was extremely steep and deep.

We also went and looked at the sighting spot, for report #9, in SRI

http://www.sasquatchonline.com/core/pubreportview.php?id=9


This is about a rugged as it gets, you can't do this drive without a truck. This was in the Kiamichi's in LeFlore County, OK.

A major game trail is still seen at the exact sighting spot.

Had a great time with Louisa and her family, was good to get out and see this beautiful country here.

*edited to add, I wouldn't mind showing others this area. However, you need to be in great physical condition if you intend to explore here. I am disabled due to a back injury and walk with a cane. There is no way humanly possible for me to do anything but stay on the road! (road used loosely!)

A few pics in reference to the area that Scotto mentions.
Truly an amazing rugged area.

One pic is of Scotto, Charles and son in background. The other is of Charles checking out a rock slide area. (Awesome terrain)

The drop off's in these areas are more severe than the first location.
( I hate heights, lol)

That pic of those curved trees, which are surrounded by rocks is surreal.

My wife saw it and flipped, she does photography and wants to go back to the area and do a photo shoot.

hi scotto & painthorse the forests in these photos look like great habitat for sasquatch creatures. bill , are you all going back there this week with nightvision cameras and cameras . painthorse i hate heights too. any new encounters in this area.

Hi Bill,

We are headed back this weekend to take more pics, and do a little more looking around.

I'll post a pic later showing you the exact spot of the sighting.

OK Bill, here is a pic just for you.

If you read the report in SRI's database, this is the actual spot where the creature was first spotted.
I did the red circle to show it easier.

Hope you like it!

Scotto

You look at the habitat in the picture and think of the color of BF and people wonder why no one can get any good pictures? I sure don't wonder. How many reports have we seen where someone thought they were looking at a tree stump until the BF moved? Many, many times. These critters are experts at camoflague. Scotto, those are some nice pictures you put up.

hi scotto the area where the sasquatch was seen looks great. bill

Am I right in saying this report is NOT in the SRI database?

I do believe it was the sighting of a friend. Perhaps they will make or have made a report. If a report has already been made it might not necessarily be with the SRI - it might be with the association of their own state and their association may not be a member with SRI.

Then why does Scotto say this?

Roadrunner,

Didn't you see this link I posted to the report?

Glad that this is getting interesting for a bunch of you......

Ocoee..... I think the best term for her feelings would be excited ........She was thrilled to meet me when I first met her......before the sighting.....was more proud of knowing me than her friend Bill Clinton.......now the sighting is #1, me #2 and Bill is a distant third.......

West Arkansas / East Oklahoma BF Researchers ......

Stay out there & keep LOOKING !
:new_thumbsupsmileyanim:

We gotta hook-up.....

For real bud!

I'm ready!

If Polk County is in Arkansas, then why is it listed as Oklahoma?

Trivial I know... :new_tiredsmiley:

Are you reading this whole thread?

Louisa posted that we checked out the area which this thread was first started, in Polk County, near Mena Arkansas.

Then I added we ALSO went to check out the spot for sighting #9 in SRI's CoRE database that is also near Mena, but is just across the border in Leflore County, OK.

Maybe it did get a little confusing since two different reports were mentioned, we were just presenting what we did on Sunday as a team.

DITTO!
:new_thumbsupsmileyanim:

Fascinating! Thanks, Jon! :popcorn2:

I'd love to know if Bill Clinton has any secret government info on Bigfoot in his home state. Do you ever wonder about that?

Actually, I never really thought about that........But .......maybe I'm conceited enough about the information that I have to be little concerned about potential government cover-ups of bigfoot info.

One of these days I've got to learn how to get the smileys to work every time....... :laugh:

Just a few more pics. The clarity isn't the best, after I downsized them.
The first pic is an example of the drop-offs in both the Dallas area and report #9.

On Feb. 11th, we all went back out to the general area of report #9 to take some pics of the amazing scenery, and it was "BITING COLD". The snow was flying just east of the area on Rich Mountain.

Hey Bill, here's a pic of me and Scotto.

Love the country, Paint! Hope to make a visit one day myself!

That would be great, NW!

Ah! I missed that! Thanks! :new_thumbsupsmileyanim:
