Summary
For over a century, a hulking, hairy figure known as the Fouke Monster has prowled Arkansas’ Sulphur River Bottoms, stirring up spooky campfire chatter and real-life eyewitness accounts in equal measure.

In this episode, we’re joined by Lyle Blackburn—author of The Beast of Boggy Creek: The True Story of the Fouke Monster—to shed light on the creature’s legendary origins, spine-tingling sightings, and the enduring theories that keep its story alive in the dark corners of the swamp.

| 0:09.4 | For more than a century, reports of a strange beast, known as the Falk Monster, have circulated among the locals in southern Arkansas. |
| 0:18.9 | Described as a large, hairy, man-like creature. It's said to haunt |
