Knocking in Little River County, Arkansas

I was walking to do some night fishin. It was a small gravel road. The road ends into the first old river but it's where two rivers, the first old and the red. There are slews and backwater holes from them and on both sides of the road was woods. The sun just started to drop but still there was plenty of light. I was in the middle of the small road and I heard something like the woods being knocked down so I stopped and turned to the right and I saw a reddish brown creature run toward me. Before it got to the road it turned on a dime headed toward the river. It was moving incredibly fast. It happened so quick I never got a look at his face but from the shoulders on down. The road was at the least a foot higher than the ground and I was below his shoulder. At the most he was 25 to 30 feet away from me.

What stood out: knocking
