A couple of years later MK and I were coming back from the Jefferson, TX conference and went to Foulk, Ar. It’s a funny story but we met a family that claimed they were responsible for the Legend of Boggy Creek!
We missed the guy in a costume that was running across Hwy 71 that night by 15 minutes. But talking to the family they said things that I was able to verify later in articles in the Texarkansas Gazette. Either they were well aware of the stories surrounding the events in the 1960′s, or they were there.

MK talked to them in more detail than I, but driving home we wondered if they could have hoaxed the events that led to the legend. This is not to say there is nothing in those woods, just that I believe some hoaxing was going on.

Unfortunately we did not get any video or proof from those guys so I do not mention it often. We cannot prove we talked to them. That was an interesting night to say the least though. LOL

As far as H.I.S. I believe something could be in the woods down there but those prints are, in my opinion, made from the shoe. Like the old saying, “If the shoe fits…”
Just because the shoe fits those prints doesn’t mean there are no creatures in the swamp. It does cast doubt on the evidence presented so far.

I hope some better evidence can be found in H.I.S. one day. I actually felt bad about finding that evidence for a while because so many people believed in the monster and coming back with the proof crushed some folks beliefs. But the truth is the truth. We were called goofballs and plenty of other names when all we did was show what we found. You have to tell the truth even when that truth isn’t popular.

However, most people saw it for what it was. Evidence. And we were applauded for bringing it out. For that I am thankful.

I was once associated with a group who went to investigate this “so called ” Monster. It was determined then that it was a gator. A little prying and digging into the past of this rural town and area, it was divulged to someone that this was in fact a ruse to keep trespassers out of that area, all but the towns folk who knew. Because alot of the “locals” were growing major amounts of cannabis aka marijuana in that area and didn’t want anyone to find it. What better way of keeping out people than with a story of a monster !

I can’t say for sure of the direction, but it was either north or south of this site, there was in fact sightings of a large bi pedal creature.

I just wanted to shed some light on this …..Thanks again Loren!
