FROM THE FILES OF
(G.C.B.R.O.)


       Submitted by Confidential


REPORT RECEIVED: From the Field Notes of Wade Bush, GCBRO Member

DATE:           Mid August 1956-57

TIME:             Late Afternoon, very hot and dry conditions

LOCATION:   Arkansas, Drew County, In a pond behind the family
                   home.

TERRAIN:    Wooded rural area

OBSERVED:   My sister, my youngest brother who was 10 years of age at the time, and I saw something we had never seen before. I heard my brother yelling and I ran to the pond with my sister. My younger brother pointed across the pond. We first saw large ripples. My brother was very excited, as best as I can remember he said, "Wait, wait, it's head will come up".  And sure enough its head came up.  It swam toward us to within maybe 12 to 14 feet from me.  My younger brother ran to the house to get the gun.  It went under the water right in front of me, just a few feet away from the bank where we stood, and stayed down.

Soon my brother returned with the gun and asked where it was. I pointed to the spot at the edge of the pond, where it went down.  We waited for it to come up again.  When it did my brother took aim and fired the gun.  It immediately went back under the water. We waited for it to surface again, or the body to float to the top, but we never saw it again.  We never saw blood or anything, not a sign.

Many people in the community came to our pond to look.  Men walked the pond but did not find anything. We were asked if we knew what a beaver and many other animals looked like and of course we did. We had lived in rural southeast Arkansas all of our lives.

The pond behind our house was very large with a wooded area at the back. The woods extended into the pond.  From that same side a creek flowed in.  I do not remember smells, but do remember it was a creature I had never seen before.  It certainly looked like the pictures of Bigfoot I have seen.  It was very hairy, dark and the eyes were set back in its head. It was not afraid of us.

Description of Creature:   It certainly looked like the pictures of Bigfoot I have seen. It was very hairy, dark and the eyes were set back in its head.

Activities of Witness:  Hunting deep in the woods, up and along side of a creek

Other Notes:  (Anything out of the ordinary that you noticed, any smells or sounds)

I was very impressed at how fast it could swim and how long it could stay under water.  It swam from the back of our large pond to where I stood, at the water's edge, in very little time.  It went under water and stayed under the whole time it took for my brother to go get the gun and return.  Even after that we waited a while for it to surface. I know it didn't surface before hand because I watched the water where it went under until it came back up and my Brother shot.  It could have swam under water, back into the trees, and walked out without us seeing it.  But we were sure my brother had hit it when he shot.

Other Other Notes:  N/A
