31 Days of Monsters 2014: Fouke Monster

Locals say there is a large hairy creature that wanders the swamps of Fouke, Arkansas. The Fouke Monster seems to be the only one of its kind and sightings are rare. Its infrequent sightings have lead many to believe that it's not one member of a larger community of creatures like the Sasquatch of northern california, but rather some sort of solitary beast, mutant or deformed wildman. The most common evidence for this theory are its footprints. Where most other Sasquatch-like creatures have five toes like a human, the Fouke Monster leaves strange three-toed prints wherever it roams.
