At our store, you can step into Fouke’s rich history and immerse yourself in the legend of the Fouke Monster.

The “Fouke Monster” – or “Boggy Creek Monster” as he is sometimes referred to – is a Sasquatch-like creature said to haunt the network of creeks extending from the Sulphur River Bottoms in southern Arkansas to the town of Fouke. Over the years, the creature has been seen by countless people, including respected citizens, experienced hunters, famous musicians, and even a police officer. He has inspired several movies, most notably The Legend of Boggy Creek, which became a drive-in sensation, netting nearly $25 million during its run.

The newspaper accounts of the early 1970s may have brought the creature to worldwide fame, but sighting reports did not stop after Hollywood moved on. People are still reporting encounters with this mysterious creature, even today!

The Beast of Boggy Creek will always be a standout among America’s spooky legends due to his movie fame and continued popularity. The creature is often mentioned in television documentaries, including Monster Quest, Lost Tapes, Weird Travels, Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, Ripley’s Believe it or not, National Geographic, and even ABC’s Wife Swap as well as on numerous other podcasts, newspapers and magazines.
