A very tall figure in Desha County, Arkansas
June 14th, 1979 I was traveling with a friend north about 30 mph on the White River levee gravel road in the White River NWR from a June fishing trip at Scrubgrass Lake in Desha County Arkansas. It was dusk (8:00 PM ish) and had my vehicle headlights on but could have driven without them. About one mile (34.173758 -91.072666) south of the White River NWR Pumping Station I saw an ape like human form walking upright and tilted slightly forward at a brisk pace up the right (east) side of the levy emerging up from tall grass. The animal came into full view about 100 feet in front of the vehicle headlights. It continued walking West upright across the two lane gravel road which is on top of the levee. It was walking with a human like gait and swinging both arms and I estimated it to be seven feet tall. It was covered in long dark reddish brown hair all over, from head to toe. It had long arms, long legs, a neck and head. I did not see the face and it appeared not to have noticed the vehicle we were in. It didn't take long for it to travel across the road and continue West down into the tall grass on the left side of the levee and disappear. By the time I had slowed down it was out of sight. The truck windows were open and as I passed through the path the it had take across the road there was a very very strong odor that smelled musty and putrid like a big cat exhibit in an older municipal zoo. Thanks,

Has this happened to you?
Write it down while you still remember the details. We will look for the others.
If this reminds you of something a friend or a relative told you once and never mentioned again, send them this page. Reading that a stranger described the same thing is usually the part that helps.
Nothing is tracked back to you and nothing is sent on your behalf. The link is just the page you are reading.
