In Arkansas, it was unknown from ever a story about a great beast with a human form but its body covered with feathers.

These ideas are just funny stories but they have come true since the 30s of the last century. One night in 1932, the people of Fouke City, Arkanas suddenly heard the tragic cry of cattle on his farm.

Immediately, the rancher rushed out, in the dark, he dimly discovered a furry animal biting a sheep's neck. Seeing the discovery, the monster quickly ran out of the farm.

In 1946, while walking near the outskirts of the town of Fouke, a woman saw a strange creature quickly crossing the street. She said: "He walks with his legs, has a big appearance, a hairy body .".

In 1955, the local newspaper Victoria Advocate published an interview with a local hunter. He described a special encounter with a body creature like a bear, but went straight and very fast. He hit several bullets but the animal still had enough strength to flee deep into the forest.

In The Apes Among Us book, it also noted the appearance of this creature through the words of a boy. During a walk, the boy saw a naked creature, hairy, tall, with very long arms drinking water from the lake. The animal is very shy, when he sees people run away.

These reports are only a few of the many times people have been hit by monsters since 1930, but most witnesses only see animals at a distance, or in the dark.

Therefore, the police ignore these reports and think that this is just a scam of some well-known individuals. However, in 1971, the police also had to change their attitude about the humanoid monster in Fouke town.

The encounters are real

On the night of May 1, 1971, young couples named Bobby and Elizabeth Ford phoned the police to report on a strange creature rushing into the house and attacking. The panicked wife told the police, at first they thought, that strange animal was just a bear looking for food outside the garden.

But no, a monkey-like creature of the size of a bear rushed into the house, lifted Bobby up high and threw it into the wall. Fortunately, in the house, there is Bobby's brother Don, who quickly grabs the gun and shoots at the animal. Although it did not hit, the sound of the gun frightened the animal, it quickly escaped itself into the night.

At the scene, the police collected countless traces of authenticating the story above. Furniture in the house was disturbed like just a fierce battle, scratches appeared on the wall. On the ground outside the garden are very large footprints, only three toes feet, accompanied by some fur.

The most obvious evidence is that Bobby, a healthy young man, is hospitalized because of a very severe wound on his back. From here, most people can imagine how the creature they will face is frightening.

The creature was discovered again on May 23, 1971. At that time, DC Woods, Jr, Wilma Woods, RH Sedgass were on the highway, near the town of Fouke. They suddenly saw a huge monkey running quickly in front of the nose, too curious, the three stopped and followed the forest. However, they did not catch up, only found three-foot footprints on the ground.

The best evidence of the presence of Fouke is strange footprints

In the following months, local residents and tourists discovered more traces of the monster. The most famous trace is found in a pea field of a farmer named Scott Keith, and it's still the giant 3-foot footprints.

From here, the mystery of this creature creates a bustling atmosphere in the town of Fouke. As soon as the news about it was transmitted, there were countless curious people who came here to explore and explore. The regional radio station also offers a generous bonus for those who capture this strange creature's image. However, every photo sent through the test is a fake.

Witnesses saw the animal more and more, but in 1986, the mayor of Fouke, Virgil Roberts and former police chief Leslie Greer, declared that the monster Fouke was completely fake.

Even so, every year, reports of Fouke monsters are regularly recorded. Even many websites reported on this creature, witnesses and curious people discussing together vigorously.

The views of scientists

The people of Fouke town believed the animal was real, but scientists were always skeptical about it. They argue that physical evidence such as footprints and claw marks are easy to create and do not prove much.

If you say that the monster Fouke is human, it must belong to the primate's relative. But here, the witness described Fouke's monster with only three toes, a far cry from the current primates - the foot has five fingers. Many scientists reject the existence of Fouke monsters and this is just a scam.

Besides, there are still a few scientists who believe that Fouke monsters are real. It is the descendant of Gigantopithecus - the giant ape in China, India, existed for 5 million years - 100,000 years ago.

Fossils indicate that Gigantopithecus is the largest primates in history. Chances are, Fouke is a Gigantopithecus left on Earth and needs to be protected by humans.
