The Fouke Monster is a legendary creature reportedly spotted in Fouke, Arkansas around Boggy Creek, beginning in the 1940s. Descriptions of the creature are similar to the legendary Bigfoot. When it was first spotted, it was shot at by various people and hunters even set dogs against it.
A movie, The Legend of Boggy Creek and two sequels, were made about the monster in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
