A couple from Little Rock, Arkansas had a truly unique camping experience in the Ozark National Forest. Jack and Emily, both avid campers, decided to hike into the wilderness for a more secluded camping spot. After setting up camp and settling in for the night, they were awakened by a loud wood-on-wood sound, unlike anything they had heard before.
As they became more alert, they noticed heavy, crunching footsteps around their campsite. At first, Jack thought it might be a late-night hiker, but soon realized they were far off the trail and the footsteps sounded too heavy to be human. Emily and Jack then noticed an orange glow outside their tent, which they at first thought might be a stray ember from their campfire.
Through the mesh of their tent, they saw an orange orb, about the size of a basketball, moving through the trees. It would rise to the treetops, slowly descend, and move along the ground, hovering a few feet above the ground before disappearing into the forest. The entire time, the mysterious footsteps continued around their campsite.
The couple was understandably shaken by the experience and couldn't believe what they had just witnessed. They described the orb as having a "heaviness" to its movements, unlike anything they had ever seen before. While they didn't explicitly mention Bigfoot or Sasquatch, the strange occurrences and the heavy footsteps around their campsite certainly leave room for speculation.
