In this video, Andrew Mobley of Channel 7 explores the small town of Falk in Miller County, Arkansas, where locals have reported sightings of a creature they call the "Falk monster" or "bogy creek monster" for decades. The creature is described as being 7 and a half to 8 feet tall, with some witnesses claiming to have seen it up close during a rash of sightings in the early 1970s. A movie was even made about the attacks and encounters, titled "The Legend of Boggy Creek." More recent sightings and evidence, such as tracks and a "bunion" on the side of the creature, have been reported. Some locals believe the creature to be a supernatural being, while others think it's an undiscovered species. The town has embraced the legend, with a monster museum and a thriving monster-themed restaurant.
