I don't like scary movies (no surprise right?) but I saw a show on TV's Animal Planet called "Lost Tapes"
The premise of the show is that a portion of the show contains supposed "actual film footage" from the victims themselves after their deaths/disappearances their cameras were recovered with disturbing images on them. UGH!

I'm gonna have nightmares now!

On Wikipedia it gives overviews of what some of the episodes are about. It looks like the show is in it's fourth season this year. It looks like some of the shows are on Youtube too.

F-R-E-A-K-Y Stuff! Too afraid to watch any more!
Just make sure you lock your doors and carry mace everywhere since they typically blame the attack on a wild animal.

Anybody else seen these?

Sounds like something I should record for my son.


Xhausted1 - where in Arkansas did the shows occur? We just spent a week in NW AR (Eureka Springs - Beaver Lake)

You weren't in any danger up there. The two stories this show high-lighted were from the White River area, Newport, AR and then Fouke, AR in Miller County, AR near Texarkana.

White River Monster Episode:
In June 2009, Mac Bering and Tyler Crenshaw decided to try out the sport of catfish noodling in the White River, and documented their adventure with the help of an experienced fishing guide, Earl Gaze. Earl continually rejects all the potential fishing spots that they suggest, pointing out such threats as traps set up by other fishermen, fast water, and rising water. When Mac and Tyler question him, Earl finally admits that he is worried about the presence of the fabled White River Monster, but they just mock him. After some goading, Earl finally agrees to using the last spot they suggested. He finally shows them how to noodle, capturing some images with a water-proof camera of a catfish which he successfully lands. As he tries to give them another demonstration, the fish he is going for bites him, and he kills it with a knife. When he brings his arm out, they see that he is bleeding profusely. Earl suggests that they leave, insisting that whatever bit him was not a catfish. Mac and Tyler suggest that they stay and try to catch some fish, and Earl agrees to stay but refuses to re-enter the water, warning them of the creature and the water that will be rising soon. Mac and Tyler try, unsuccessfully, to catch some fish themselves. Mac's leg suddenly becomes stuck and he cannot free himself. Earl goes back into the water to help Mac, but is suddenly pulled under the water by an unseen creature, and his blood bubbles to the surface. They begin panicking, knowing that something big and aggressive is in the water, and wonder if it is the White River Monster. As Tyler tries to help Mac, he is unable to free him. With the creature lurking in the rising water, Tyler retrieves a shovel from his bag and tries to free Mac before suddenly being attacked by the creature. All alone, Mac yells for help in vain, and his camera captures brief glimpses of the creature underwater, which resembles a piranha, as it attacks him. However, the force of the impact frees him and his swims to safety. Mac suffered a fractured foot, but survived to petition the Arkansas government to drag the river in the hopes of finding the bodies of Tyler and Earl, as well as prove the existence of the creature, but was repeatedly denied. Tyler and Earl's deaths were officially attributed to alligator attacks, which are a rare occurrence in Arkansas, but satisfied the local authorities.


and the Fouke Monster (Remember that cheesy 70's movie called the Boggy Creek Monster?) - Well same area, just more recent activity (2007).
"Southern Sasquach" Episode
In the fall of 2007, Matthew Barton went to rural Fouke, Arkansas to become acquainted with Levi and Corbin Knox, the brothers of his fiancee. They invited Matthew on a deer hunting trip into the forest. While watching for deer up on a hill, they spot a shape moving in the brush that they think is either a bear or a person, but Levi shoots at it and it flees before they can identify it. When they investigate where it had been standing, they suddenly smell something very foul and see fur on the ground, from which the smell is coming. They arrive at a deer stand, but Matthew's inability to climb the ladder leads them to stay on the ground. After hours of waiting without seeing a single deer, Levi and Corbin decide to play a prank on Matthew by sending him on a snipe hunt. While they hide in a bush and mock Matthew, they suddenly hear a growl and see something walking up behind him. They shoot at it, but miss, and run over to find Matthew is missing. As they gather their senses, they realize that the forest has become absolutely quiet. Corbin fires a round into the air, and they hear a growl and follow it. As it becomes dark, Levi voices that it may have been the Fouke Monster that they saw, but Corbin insists that there is no such thing. They hear a loud growl and Levi fires a round into the darkness. Shortly afterward, they discover an orange hunting jacket that Matthew had been wearing, along with blood. Corbin begins to panic while Levi tries to get him to be quiet so that he can think. Suddenly, Levi is attacked by the creature, which grabs him from behind and claws him. Corbin flees in a panic as Levi is killed, and bumps into Matthew. They conclude that they must escape, and Matthew turns on the camera's night vision in order to try to keep the creature from spotting them. Corbin is put on point, and as they progress through the dark forest, Matthew tries to keep him calm. They hear more and frequent growling. Finally, Corbin can't take it anymore and runs ahead, ignoring Matthew's protests, and he hears Corbin yell. It turns out that he has only bumped his head against a tree, but when they examine their surroundings, they discover Levi's body is hanging from the tree. They try to reach the deer stand, but Corbin says that he dropped his rifle. Matthew goes back to get it, but when he returns, he suddenly sees the creature, which attacks and kills Corbin as Matthew runs away. He finally makes it to the stand, only to find that the rope ladder has been torn down. He yells for help and tries to reach the remaining ladder in vain as the creature closes in and finally attacks him as well. News reports suggested that they were killed by a bear, but locals insist that the real culprit was the Fouke Monster.

I love Eureka Springs. It is beautiful during Christmas time.
Lived in Springdale, AR for about 3 years. Love the area

I agree. Eureka is a beautiful area.

I haven't been for many years, but will be taking a trip there within the year. If there is anything that's a current must-see, please let me know!

I have seen quite a few of them, but I kinda view them like the old "B" grade movies, such as "The Attack of The Killer Tomatoes" - yep that was a real movie. Since some of it is supposed to be actual video footage, I try not to think about the chance that it really happened.

No, I am not a brave person, I stepped out on the porch Sunday night and about tore myself in two trying to get away from the weird noise in the back of my truck 20 feet from where I was standing. I grabbed the flashlight just about the time I realized what it "hopefully" was and a raccoon climbed out of the back of the truck.

I live out in the country 600 feet off the road and have a lot of "bumps" in the night but with all the animals I have, I attribute it to some of them acting up. I keep hoping it is no real bugger!

I have a feeling you don't really mean bugger! Then again, maybe you do

WOW--I've lived in Montana the last 8 years!
I haven't been back to North Arkansas, except to fly into Bentonville airport, and drive down to my parents' house.

Watch another happy movie and time can treat anything.Good luck!

I grew up in this area---heard many tales of the Boggy Creek Monster. Much of the area is "the bottoms". Low lying land, prone to being swampy and overgrown. There are confirmed sightings of panthers (and those things do scream like a woman!), huge wild boar, and bear. The "bottoms" are creepy and scary in the daylight, absolutely terrifying in the dark. Lots of weird things in "the bottoms"

Also from the Texarkana area is the movie "The Town that Dreaded Sundown"--and it is a true story.
