The Fauke Monster
It's one thing to come across a strange and bizarre creature when you're on vacation or out in the woods, but when you're attacked in your own home... it takes things to another level.
In 1971, Fouke, Arkansas (USA) became the scene of a terrifying legend. It all started with Bobby Ford, who described a 10-foot-tall creature that was ridiculously fast and covered in long, dark fur — very similar to Sasquatch sightings, which by this point had been reported all over the United States. But this one was up close. And up close...
It was a Wednesday when Bobby's wife and sister-in-law reported hearing someone walking on the porch of the house they had recently moved into. And that's when it all happened, when Bobby and his brother were out hunting, until they were summoned back home by the screams (and guess whose?) of the lady of the house (Bobby's son's mother and his wife). According to Elizabeth Ford, the creature broke down the door and Elizabeth was so scared that she even fell - but screaming, before falling (which made Bobby's son and his wife hear and actually went back there to at least try HELP her).
Massive and furry, with glowing orange eyes - she said he didn't make a sound except for thick, heavy breathing. Elizabeth, lying on the floor, said she was paralyzed ''with the eyes of the creature'', which was also staring at her. When the husband got there, however, the thing, in its unpredictable speed, was already in the backyard and quickly grabbed him in its arms as he walked across the porch. Elizabeth herself said that she didn't even see him move from there.
She grabbed him in her arms, and kept looking his face from side to side, as if identifying him, and then immediately throwing him to the ground, as if he just ''wasn't the victim''-'' as if he had been mistaken ''. Fading into the trees again. Trails were left behind by the creature, three-finger prints that matched the deep three-finger scratches that had been made in the wood of the front porch two days earlier. In the NEXT days that followed, there were more and more sightings of the creature, with those swearing it wasn't a bear or a mountain lion, as some law enforcement officials had theorized (as usual).
Other sightings indicate that it may have been an exotic chimpanzee species, which had not yet been discovered, measuring 2.58 meters in height, but with variable weights from 230 kg to 530 kg. But those who saw the creature were also unimpressed by this theory - as there was no detail of the ''glowing orange eyes'' that were like the ''main source'' - the glowing orange eyes could be seen even if the creature was hiding in the dark. Sightings of the creature that attacked the Ford family have been traced back to the 1940s.
In 1972, the film The Legend of Boggy Creek raised the incident to national popularity. Sightings continued in and out of the area. And what about the Ford family? His terror was real — after Bobby was released from the hospital where he was being treated for minor injuries as well as emotional shock (when he was thrown on the porch, a large purple bruise could be seen all over his arm and elbow — plus artificial cuts). by the cheek — and let's face it, the porch was also made of stone, right people?), and they then moved out of the house in just one week.
