- [Brian] The swamps of Southern Arkansas.

Stretching out for miles and miles,

the beginning of a new day.

Been repeating itself for
centuries upon centuries,

some of these bottom lands.

Some of these great Cyprus have stood here

before the Vikings sailed
the seas in their long ships.

Towering above this back
watered country watching

and listening to a multitude
of light, old and new.

It is here that rivers are born

and creeks and slews branch off and cross

this vast wilderness.

Leaving dense thickets and big timbers

that rise up out of
this murky, soggy earth.

(gentle music)

Beaver, mink, birds, raccoons,
snakes and alligators

are but a few of the creatures

that make up the swamp's ledger.

Sometimes it's eerie
and sometimes pristine.

(birds shrieking)

(phone rings)

- [Radio Announcer] First
to 10 (mumbles) 40 with less

than six minutes left,
Bill, I'd say Arkansas

is at the end of the chase.

- Ah, yeah, hello, I mean
Dr. Lockhart's office.

- [Announcer] Out of the south and about

15 miles per hour.
- Yep, yes, sir.

He's at the game, sir.

Get him, sir, he's at
the stadium with 75,000

insane hog callers.

Yes, sir, all right, right away, sir.

(audience roaring)

(announcer mumbling)

- Go, go, go!

(audience roaring)

(announcer mumbling)

- Yes, sir.

Listen, we appreciate you calling us.

We should be in Texarkana
before dark, yes.

Okay, thank you very much, good bye.

All right, we got everything,
we got the Jeep, camper,

got the computer, mic sensors.

- Everything but the mic sensors.

- Okay, where's your friend Leslie?

- She should be here any time.

- Tim, go ahead and get the
mic sensors, put them in.

- They should be ready then.

- All right, take a look at this.

- Hey, girl, how are you?
- Hi!

There you are.
- Yeah.

- Anybody tell you where we're going?

- Yep, Texarkana.

- They tell you we're
gonna be in the woods

most of the time?

- Well she said we're going down looking

for some kind of wild man, why?

- You just don't look like
you're dressed for the occasion.

- Well I brought my jeans and shorts.

- I certainly hope so.

Load up and let's go.

- All right.
- Come on.

- My name is Brian C. Lockhart.

My friends call me Doc.

I'm a professor of anthropology

at the University of
Arkansas, located deep

in the Ozark Mountains.

With me, one of my freshman
students, Tim Thorn,

Miss. Landwalker, all I know about her

is she's a good friend of Tanya Yazzie,

one of my prized students.

(easygoing music)

After my call from the Miller
County Sheriff's Department,

we were soon leaving the rolling hills

of Northern Arkansas behind
and headed for the swamps

in Delta country around
Texarkana, Arkansas.

Texarkana, laying on the
southwest corner of the state,

borders Texas and is but a few short bows

from the Louisiana state line.

Our objective, investigate
the latest report

about the legendary Boggy
Creek Creatures attack

on a sheriff's deputy.

♪ But darling ♪

♪ I'll be here ♪

- [Waitress] Can I help y'all?

- Good evening.
- Good evening.

- Do you have any ammunition?

- [Man] Yes, sir.

- I need a box of 30-30 shells.

- Regular or hollow point?

- Doesn't matter.

♪ Is it wrong ♪

- Y'all goin' campin'?

- I guess you could say that.

We're looking for the
Boggy Creek Creature.

(patrons laughing)

- There ain't no such thing, you know.

- I guess that's why we're here,

we're gonna try to determine
if there is one or not.

- You can take my word for it,

there ain't no monsters around here.

- I believe that's about all we need.

- Hey, boy, what do you think
you're gon' find that marsh?

- Gonna find him in
the swamp if it exists.

- Bet he don't.

- He's been seen over 100
times since the early '50s.

- Seen by who, drunks or city folks

like you all wantin' your
names in the newspaper?

(patrons laughing)

- What do I owe you?

- [Man] Well that'll be 16.69 please.

Thank you.
- You're welcome.

- You know, something, Will,

we ought to go down there
to that swamp tonight

with a monkey suit and these here folks

would stay tomorrow night
in a motel in the city.

(patrons laughing)

- You know something?

I believe there's a creature here.

And being a city fella, like I am,

I'm scared to death of it.

That's why I got a 30-30 rifle in the back

of that Jeep and I bought
this box of shells.

In fact, I'm so afraid of it,

I just might shoot a monkey
that jumped out on me.

Good day, sir.

(easygoing music)

(dog barking)

That's W.L. Slogan's farm that
we studied about right there.

- [Tanya] You think he'll
let us go look in the barn?

- Yeah, let's go look in it.

'Sides, we might find something.

- Run up to the farmhouse
to see if they'll let us

go down to the barn and look around, okay?

(door creaking)

- I bet she didn't want us around here.

- Okay, hey, y'all, come on!

- Come on.

- [Tim] Thank you very much.

- Atwoods, late in the afternoon,

Slogan came into that field
there driving his cows.

He had to have put 'em in
that stall right there.

But it was in this barn
where he saw the creature.

Let's look in here a minute.

(mysterious music)

You know, they said Slogan
was in his late 60s.

I think it was in about '63 or '64.

- It was '64.

- That's correct, it was
in the fall of the year.

In fact, it was probably about this time

of day, late afternoon.

Coming from that field, all those cows

over here in the stall.

(cows groaning)
- Come on, go.

Get in there.

(easygoing music)

(chicken crowing)

(dramatic music)

(door creaking)

(suspenseful music)

(dog barking)

(creature growling)
(dog barking)

That's about all anybody
knows about the incident.

In fact. Slogan wouldn't tell
anybody about it for years.

He was afraid people would laugh at him.

- Doc, do you think it's true?

- Yeah, I think he saw
what he said he did.

Because Slogan had hunted and fished

these bottomed lands all his life.

He wasn't afraid of
anything and he certainly

wanted no publicity.

It was only after his
brother said that he saw it

in the woods back in there.

Slogan told him the
incident here in the barn.

He probably did that to give some validity

to what his brother's story was.

- What are you guys afraid of?

Think he might still be in here?

It's only been 20 years.

- Doesn't mean he couldn't come back.

- Yeah, hell, this might be his hang out.

- (laughs) Well I'll tell you one thing,

the morning that Slogan came in this barn,

he was probably standing just
about where Tim's standing

right now, right there.

- Damn if I wanna stand where he stood.

- I think I wanna go back to the Jeep.

- You ain't waitin' on me.

(upbeat music)

- Tim, hand me that map out of there.

Let me check somethin' here.

Let's see.

That sign back there said Sulpfur River.

- Are we there yet?

- We're close, isn't it?

Got about a mile or so more.

- Good, I can finally
change these clothes.

- There we go.
(engine revving)

(eerie music)

(tires screech)

Y'all wait in the Jeep.

- Hey Doc, what is it?

- Looks like a dead deer.

- Let's go look at it.

- No way, I'm not gonna
go down there and look

at a dead deer.

- Looks like a car or truck
hit it not long ago either.

- What happened to its head?

- I don't know.

What happened to the car
or truck is the question.

- I don't believe any car
or truck hit this deer.

- Why do you say that?

- Something's hittin' on
its rind hind quarter.

- Doesn't matter, let's
get it out of the road

before somebody else runs
over it and has a wreck.

- I still don't believe any
car or truck hit this deer.

- Well, doesn't matter,
it's probably a bobcat,

raccoon or somethin', who knows?

Might be it belongs to the creature.

(animals chittering)

We're close to the swamp.

We're gonna make camp
right here, right here.

That's pretty good, Tim.

In fact, I'd say that that's pretty close

to what it actually looked like.

- Let me see.

(Tim growls)

You've got to be kidding.

- Nope, fits all the descriptions.

- You mean to tell me that
we're camped down here

in the swamp where that
thing might be living?

- Well I think it's sexy.

- Well I think we're all
crazy if we don't go to town

and get a motel room.

- I wouldn't worry a lot about it,

I don't think he's been
seen in a few days anyway.

- [Leslie] It doesn't
mean anything either.

You think he just dropped dead?

- No, but if the facts are
right in that computer,

I'll tell you this, we
could come across him

or see him at any time.

- What do you mean by that?

- Meaning that every year since 1956,

when these river bottoms
and these swamps are flooded

with water, brings him out.

In fact, he's never been
seen in a drought year.

- You mean the hot water drives
him out of the swamp, right?

- Exactly.

Brings him out and search for food.

In fact, we already had a lot

of rain this year, believe me.

(easygoing music)

After breakfast, we hit
the back country roads.

I knew there were a lot of old,
abandoned homesteads around

and I figured we'd spend our first morning

just getting acquainted with the area.

(animals chittering)

- Hey Doc, can we get out and look around?

- Yeah, why not, I don't
think anybody lives here.

- [Leslie] This is an
eerie lookin' old place.

Looks like our old college room.

(dog growling)

(dramatic music)

- Mad dog, mad dog!

- [Brian] Get in the
house, get in the house!

(girls scream)

Mad dog!

(gun firing)

(Brian shouts)

Get over here, hold this door.

- Oh my god, what have
we gotten ourselves into?

- Quiet!

Tim, do you see him?
- No.

- All right, check those other rooms.

Be quiet, stay there.

(girls breathing heavily)

Tim?

Look out those windows.

- Where are you going, don't leave me,

we gotta hold the door.

- Quiet!

See anything, Tim?

(suspenseful music)

(dog growls)
(dramatic music)

- (shouts) Get back!

(gun fires)

- My god, what's going on?

- What's going on, Doc?

(gun fires)

- Quiet!

- Did you hit him, Doc?

- I don't think so, he moved on me.

Watch that window!

- I was too close.

- He almost got into this damn house.

Jesus Christ.

- Just hold the door.

- See him?

(Brian mumbles)

(dog growling)
(girls screaming)

- Where, where?

- He was right here at the door!

He almost came in on us.
(dog growling)

- Quiet, quiet, he's in this house.

He's under here.

(gun fires)
(girls scream)

- Doc, I don't think I hear him anymore.

- Quiet, quiet.

(dog growls)
(gun fires)

- God!

(forlorn music)

- Tim, there's a hole in the floor!

Look in that closet over there, hurry!

See if you can find something
to put over this hole.

(dog growls)
(dramatic music)

(Brian shouts)

(girls screaming)

(gun clicking)
Stay, stay.

(gun clicking)
(Brian groans)

No, stay.

(gun cocks)

(gun fires)

- Doc, are you okay?

- I'm okay.

Jesus.

- Is he dead?

- He's dying if he's not dead.

(Brian breathes heavily)

Get in the Jeep.

Let's get out of here.

Jesus Christ.

(easygoing music)

- [Leslie] I don't believe this.

- [Tanya] I think that
gun's a little bit too loud.

- [Brian] Tim, give me some shells.

- This is crazy.

Well, Mr. Professor, what exciting things

do you have planned for us tomorrow?

- Yeah, I think that
mad dog was a little bit

too much for all of us.

- You let me tell you somethin' right now.

I don't think I promised
any of us a picnic

when we come off on this trip, did I?

True enough, that
confrontation with the mad dog

was a close call for all of us.

But in order to find out more
about the reported sightings,

I knew we had to get out into the field

and investigate the area.

We had to drive those back country roads

and talk to people.

Most of the sightings have
occurred at early dusk

or late evening.

Leading me to believe that this
creature must be nocturnal.

Also there have been
those who have claimed

to seen more than one of them

and they say they admit a foul odor.

Roaming about in the
night in search of food,

always hiding from man,

like the Sasquatch or the Big Foot,

along with the Yeti of Tibet,

all of these man-like creatures
are known to be very shy.

Making them elusive and hard to find.

Day time glimpses are very rare.

Although they appear to be
docile and never intentionally

harmed anyone, there is one incident

that's always intrigued me.

It was sometime in the
fall, a few years back.

An elderly gentleman by
the name of Otis Tucker

was on his way home from
grocery shopping in Texarkana

when he had a blow out on a lonely stretch

of road that runs parallel to the swamp.

(animals chittering)

- [Otis] Oh good Lord, have mercy.

(clanking)

(Otis grunts)

Hello?

Anybody there?

(Otis grunts)

Anybody there?

(suspenseful music)

(dramatic music)
(Otis shouts)

- Otis Tucker never
regained consciousness.

He stayed in the hospital
for over two years.

Therefore he was never able
to tell anybody what happened.

- [Tanya] Tell her about the billfold.

- [Leslie] What about it?

- Well when they found
Mr. Tucker that night,

his billfold was still in his pocket

and he still had $80 in it.

Ruling out any chance of robbery.

- Whatever it was, it
pushed the pickup right off

the jack and down into the ditch.

- Gees.

- That's true, there was
not one dent anywhere

on that truck which means no other car

could've come along and side swiped it.

- And they said that
man didn't have an enemy

in the world.

- That's also true.

Whatever attacked him was parable.

It drug him down that
ditch for over 50 yards.

They found one mark on him.

Big, soft bruise up here on his fore head.

Anyway, I tell you
what, it's getting late.

I wanna run a test on that computer.

I wanna set out those sensors

'cause I wanna be sure that
I can set it this home base

and watch this entire area.

Tim, why don't you get the sensors out?

I'll get the computer going and you guys

get the walkie-talkies and let's set it up

and run a test, okay?

- [Leslie] The circles,
what do they represent?

- Well, see this first
line that's 200 meters,

then we come into 75, 50

and of course this square here,

that represents the home base.

We should be able to sit right here

and monitor this whole area.

- Hm, so you mean if
anything approaches the camp,

we should be able to see it.

- Depends how sensitive
we set these sensitizers.

For instance, there are
two ways we can do it.

We can set this up for weight

or we can set it up for height.

Let's run this first test on weight.

For instance, Tanya's about 110 pounds,

so I'm gonna enter that in now.

Okay, Tim, I'd say is about 130.

That's in.

Now there's one other thing I gotta do.

We need to set this at
anything over 100 pounds

to set it off, so 100 pounds

because like snakes or
small animals, raccoons

or something, we don't want to set it off.

This raise them on the
radio and run our test.

- All right, Tanya, do you read?

- Yeah, I read, it's
just me and a whole bunch

of blood thirsty mosquitoes.

- Tim, do you read?

- Loud and clear.

Hey, Doc, how long do you
want me to wait out here?

I'm gettin' hungry.

- That boy's always hungry.

Okay, gang, we're all set up here.

I'll tell you what I
want you guys to do now.

I want you to start back to the base

and I want you to come directly at me

and try to come in a straight line, okay?

- Got ya.

- Look here, okay, there's Tim, see?

Okay, see this dot, that's Tanya,

she just broke the first
200 meters right there.

Okay, baby is working like a charm.

- The marvels of modern science.

(computer beeping)
(tense music)

Brian, what's that?

- I don't know, something
broke the southwest corner

of the perimeter there.

- [Leslie] It's moving toward Tanya.

- Don't panic now, hold this a minute.

Could be a deer, could
be a car or anything.

(mysterious music)

Let me put some weight
in to see what it says.

I'll go to 250.

Southwest corner.

It's over there (mumbles).

(mysterious music)

I'll go to 400 pounds.

We got a problem, give me that mic.

Tanya, I don't want to alarm anybody

but there's something just
broke the southwest corner

of the perimeter, do you
hear or see anything?

- Doc, I don't see a thing.

- It's moved more than 50
yards in the last few seconds.

- Something's out there

and it's heading toward Tanya.

Tell 'em to come in, Brian.

- You guys, I want you
to come back to the base

and I want you to come back quickly.

Tim, come on, move it, get in here now.

Come on, Tanya, move.

(tense music)

I want you to stay on this
mic and watch that screen.

Here, take this.

I'm going out there,
there is something wrong.

- Run, girl, run!

- Keep me posted.

(tense music)

Come on, come on,

come here before it's dark.

- Is it him?

- I don't know, keep going, get to camp.

(computer beeping)

- [Leslie] Doc?

- Yeah, come on, I read you.

- [Leslie] It's close to you.

- My left or right?

Hold.

Where are you at?

(creature growling)
I smell ya!

(creature growls)

You better say somethin'!

(tense music)

(Tanya breathes heavily)

- Oh god, thank god you're all right.

- What's going on?

- You all right?
- I'm okay.

- Bri, it's gone.

It was there and it just disappeared.

- It's fast, I've never seen
anything that fast in my life.

- Where's Tim?

- I don't know.

- Oh, no.

Let me check this.

(keys clanking)

My god, he's not there.

Wait a minute.

He is not there.

(clunking)
- Boo.

(Leslie exhales)

- Boy, you shared the shit out of us.

(animals chittering)

(low rumbling)

(owl hooting)

(Brian sighs)

(computer beeping)
(suspicious music)

(keys clanking)

Oh, no.

I thought you'd be in between it.

Wake up.

Hey, we got a visitor.

We got a visitor, come on.

Look at this.

He just passed the 200
meter perimeter right there.

- I can't take anymore of this.

- Oh, well, just listen,
just watch him one minute.

- Doc, are you sure it's him?

- Positive, I just put in 350 pounds,

then I went to 400 and it was exactly

where I thought he'd be.

10 between.

- Doc, let's get out of here.

- Wait just a minute,
we're gonna watch him.

He's still away yet, look.

He stopped.

Here he goes.

He's moving north, (mumbles).

Look at him!

He's circling this camp.

I don't believe it.

He's watching us.

He's turning back, he's
come across at 50 now.

- Doc, he's headed for the camp.

(dramatic music)
(Leslie screams)

- Hold it!
(shouting)

Shut up, hold it!

We lost power, be quiet, I gotta hear.

Don't panic, nobody panic.

I gotta be able to hear it.

Now it's important, get
that candle over here.

Get us some light in here.

Tim.

Did you put gas in the generator?

(all shouting)

Cut it out, we gotta
be quiet, I gotta hear.

Everything depends on that,
give me that gun, quick.

Give me the gun, take this light.

All right.

Give me the dart.

- [Leslie] Oh my god, Brian, not that.

- [Brian] Listen, it may
be the only chance we have.

If it's him, I'm gonna
try to stop him right now.

Okay, now listen, it's important,

do not panic because we may
not ever get this chance again.

Now you gotta be quiet.

So I can hear.

Listen, Tim, where's the gas?

- It's just outside.

- All right, you get the gas can,

you guys stay right here and
be quiet, let's go, move.

- Y'all be careful.

- Let's go.

(tense music)

All right, hold it.

Let me see that light.

(clattering)
Quiet in there.

Move to the end, wait a
minute, hold it right there.

(clattering)
Quiet!

Where's the gas can?

- It's under there.

- All right, get it, come on.

(mysterious music)

Hurry!

Crank it.

Move it.

(generator rumbling)

(dramatic music)

(creature growling)

(gun cocking)

Talk to me.

(creature roars)

No!

(gun fires)

(dramatic music)

(creature grunts)

(creature roars)

What kept attracting him to come back

around our camp puzzled me.

The dart gun was a mistake.

He simply reached and pulled it out.

(birds chirping)

Everyone was so shook up after last night

including myself, I decided to tell them

one more story that was a
little bit on the lighter side.

The story I heard goes
something like this.

Oscar Colputter was his name.

- Just what are you lookin' for?

- I'm lookin' for the
Sears Roebuck catalog.

- Well I guess you're gonna
mess up the whole house for it?

- I will if I have to, I'd rather do that

than mess up my pants.

- Well we certainly don't want that.

The catalog's on the back porch.

(man whistles)

(easygoing music)

(fart buzzes)

(creature growling)

- Damn cows, you can't
even take a crap in peace.

(tense music)

Myrtle, is that you?

Tryin' to take a crap.

(creature growling)

(creature grunts)

(banging)

(creature growls)

Myrtle help!

- God, hold on, Oscar!

- [Oscar] Myrtle, help!

- My god, hold on, Oscar, I'm comin'!

What the hell was that after you, Oscar?

- Damn if I know, Myrtle,
I thought it was you.

It was the wildest thing I've ever seen.

- Well you gonna get
that stuff off of you?

- Yeah, hand me that catalog in there,

let me clean myself up.

- Gonna take more than a catalog, Oscar.

If ya ask me, it's gonna
take the water hose.

(easygoing music)

(Myrtle mutters)

So much mess, so much, golly!

- How much truth there is
(group laughs)

to this story, I couldn't say.

I can tell you for sure
that Oscar Colputter

is a retired attorney from Texarkana

and is known from time to time

to have had a drinking problem.

Anyway, back to the more serious side.

I reached Deputy Williams
by phone and arranged

a meeting at the local coffee shop.

I decided I would not tell
him or anyone, at this point,

about seeing the creature
myself last night

and I advised Tim and
the girls to do the same.

I wanted to hear from
Williams and his version

of what he said it looked
like without my input.

Okay, y'all don't forget anything now.

- Morning.
- Good morning, sir.

You must be Deputy Williams.

- You Dr. Lockhart?
- I am.

Let's get some coffee.
- All right.

- We've been studying
incidents about what people

say happened to them
around here for years.

- Well mine's pretty simple,
I don't have any answers

and I doubt if anybody else does.

- Talked to the sheriff
before I left Fayetteville

and he told me a little bit
about what happened to you

but I'd like to get some
more details if I could.

- That'd be fine, that'd be fine.

- Would there be anything else, sir?

- I think that's all.
- Thank you.

- Well that day, I've been fishin' down

on Sulpfur River, it was
late in the afternoon,

it wasn't dark and I went to the shed.

- Did you catch any fish?

- Few.

- Take 'em down to the shed and clean 'em,

I don't want them smelly things up here.

(animals chittering)

(dramatic music)
(Williams screams)

(tense music)

(creature growls)

(creature roars)

- No one believes me.

My wife doesn't even think
I've seen such a thing.

That thing was huge.

His eyes glarin' out
under that hairy forehead.

He had a pointed skull.

- You ever think it meant you any harm?

- Nope, I think he just smelled dead fish

and just came up to investigate.

- Sounds like that little one was hard

to get off your back though.

- He was strong as hell.

I didn't think I was ever gonna get loose.

I had to go into town
and get my back sewed up.

Took nine stitches.

- (chuckles) Well, Skid, I
don't mean to be laughin'

but how you doin' now?

- Well the stitches come out tomorrow.

By the way, have you
talked to Old Man Crenshaw?

- Don't believe I've ever heard of him.

- He's an old man, I'll bet he's lived

on the bottoms all his life.

He could be able to tell you somethin'.

- Do you think he's ever seen it?

- He was goin' on there every month

callin' in the department.

Complainin' and when he'd
come into town for supplies,

he was always talkin' about the creature

hanging around his cabin.

- I'll definitely have to find him.

Is there anything else
that you can think of,

maybe some details you might've forgot.

- No.

I will say, Old Man Crenshaw
always said one thing

about the creature.

- What's that?

- He was an incredible runner
and an unbelievable swimmer.

(animals chittering)

- All right, you guys, it's
ready, come and get it.

- What are we having?

- Bologna sandwiches and pork and beans.

- Great, one of my favorites.

- Well it's not one of mine.

Tanya, do you have my blush?

- Blush?

- [Tanya] No, I don't have your blush.

- Guys, I don't want
to be down here anyway,

let's go into town and get a motel.

- Are we goin' in the swamp with you guys?

- Not today.

- You're gonna leave
us a rifle, aren't you?

- The rifle, you wouldn't know
what to do with it if I did.

- Wanna bet?

- [Brian] Tim and I began
searching behind the camp,

hoping we might find hair
or even a small blood sample

from where the creature had
torn off through the woods.

- Can you drive the Jeep?

- Sure, why?

- This is crazy.

- What do you mean by that?

- We're fools, we're just sitting here.

Who says that thing
only comes out at night?

It could be watching us right now.

(easygoing music)

- These folds are fixin' me right.

(car rumbles)

- [Brian] Trooper Williams
left out one important fact.

He said nothing about the
foul odor the creature emits

which was still very
much present many hours

after Tim and I were in the forest.

- I knew we should've stayed at the camp.

- Well I don't believe we came this way.

I don't remember these mud holes.

- We had to have, we went
through several mud holes.

- But not these, they're too deep.

- Do you know how to put that
thing into four wheel drive?

- Hell no, I don't, I've never been

in one of these things until I came up

on this stupid trip!

- Then you just better hold on.

(upbeat music)
(car screeching)

- You've done it now.

- Me, it was your idea to go riding around

in the first place.

- Put the damn thing in four wheel drive

and let's get out of here.

- I don't know how to put the damn thing

in four wheel drive.

- Maybe there's a manual
in here that will tell us

how to do it.

- It's gonna take us more than four wheels

to get us out of this
hole, like about eight.

- Quit jokin', we gotta
figure this thing out.

It's getting late.

- I'm not jokin', the mud's
almost up to our doors.

- Look, here it is, this
is all we have to do.

There, that should be in four wheel drive.

Crank it up and let's
get out of here, okay?

(tires screeching)

(tense music)

- [Tanya] It's no use, we're gonna have

to walk out of here.

- My god, don't even suggest such a thing.

It'll be dark soon.

- I'm open for your suggestions.

- Well blow the horn.

- Blow the horn?

What good is that gonna do?

- Well Tim and Brian
are down here somewhere.

Maybe they'll hear it.

- Tim and Brian have probably
been back at the camp

for hours, resting,
eating, dry, comfortable.

- Don't tell me that stuff.

Trade places with me, I wanna try.

- No way, you're just gonna make it worse.

- But we're lost, remember.

I'm not gonna go start
walking up in these woods

looking for a camp that we
have no idea where it is.

(creature growls)
(suspenseful music)

- Might get a little cold
before the night's over.

- We do have a heater
in this thing, don't we?

- Yep, I believe we do.

- How much gas we got?

(clicking)

- Over half a tank.

- Good.

- Today's Tuesday, they should
find us before the weekend

and we run out of gas.

- You got me into this
mess, I wanna get out

and I wanna go home.

All's we gotta do now
is find the tombstone

that marks the spot where you buried us.

(Brian sighs)

- It's almost 8 o'clock.

We're gonna have to go find 'em.

- How, it's 15 miles out of this bottom.

And remember, they have
our only transportation.

- Where the hell could they be?

- Leslie probably talked
Tanya into goin' into town.

Probably lookin' for somethin'
besides bologna to eat.

(wolf howling)

- What was that?

- What was what?

- That sound we just heard.

- Sounded like a wolf.

- A wolf?

You mean there's wolves
in these woods too?

- Also snakes, bobcats, alligators.

- That's enough, don't tell me anymore.

(mysterious music)
(creature growls)

- There's a winch on the front.

- What's that?

- Something to get you unstuck with.

- Well why in the hell didn't
you mention that before now?

- You didn't ask, besides,
I don't know how to use it.

- That's stupid, we have
a manual right here.

Hand me the flashlight.

Okay it says you keep the motor running,

you pull, keep the vehicle in neutral,

you pull out on the cable until.

(mysterious music)
(creature growling)

(suspenseful music)

Here it is, right here.

See, there's a cable right there,

you just pull out on that.

- [Tanya] I figured I'd
be doing all the work.

(mud splashes)
(Leslie laughs)

(creature grunts)

- Look woman, if you
wanna get out of here,

you'd better get down here and help me!

- [Leslie] Well I do
wanna get out of here.

Okay.

(mysterious music)
(creature growls)

(car engine rumbles)

- [Tanya] My god, Leslie, there he is!

(dramatic music)
(Leslie screams)

(creature roars)

(girls screaming)

- Doc, what time is it now?

- Almost 11.

- Feel something's bad wrong.

- Yeah, so do I.

I'll tell you what let's do,

I don't think we can wait any longer.

Take the rifle and we're
goin' in the swamp.

(computer beeping)

- Is he back?

(Brian chuckles)

- No, but the girls are.

- Are you sure?

- Now you see how slow that's moving?

That's them all right, get over there.

Just get on the bed.

We're gonna play this out.

It's them all right.

Just relax now, let's
just watch this a second.

(generator humming)

(knocking on door)

Come in, ladies.

(girls sniffling)

You wanna tell me about it?

- I'm gonna let her.

- Well?

- We stuck the Jeep.

- That figures.

- That ain't all.
- Did you wreck it?

- No, we saw it.

- You saw what?

- I knew they wouldn't believe us.

Damn it, Doc, we saw it.

You and Tim saw it, we believed you,

why can't you believe us?

(easygoing music)

- Tanya, did you see it?

- Yeah.

- It wasn't that I didn't believe them,

I guess I just wanted to get
back at them a little bit

for what they had put Tim and I through

for the last six hours.

This was a day I knew we had

to travel the river to Crenshaw's.

I went over my notes, then put
down all the new information

that I had.

One thing that I didn't
quite understand though

was Trooper Williams' last statement to me

when we were at the coffee shop.

Crenshaw had told him the
creature was an incredible runner

and an unbelievable swimmer.

Anyway we got ourselves
together, loaded up

and headed for the Sulpfur River.

(gentle music)

(kids shouting)

(suspenseful music)

(dramatic music)

- Jaws!

- God.
- Tommy, get out of here!

♪ Send me roses ♪

♪ Give me candy ♪

♪ Tell me all those things, I love you ♪

- Howdy.
- Howdy.

You goin' huntin' or fishin'?

- Well, we headin' down river.

- Well how you travelin',
you wadin' or ridin'?

- (chuckles) Well hope to be
ridin', do you rent any boats?

- I got one, I'll rent you $5 an hour

and I've got a larger
boat that I'll rent you

for $25 a day, everything furnished.

- We'll take the one for all day.

- Good, I'll get you one.

You all go right down there and wait,

and we'll bring it around.

♪ But that's okay ♪

♪ We'll be another ♪

♪ That it's the same old ♪

- How far is it down to Crenshaw?

- Well according to Deputy Williams,

it's about two miles down river.

- Dang it, we should've
brought our swimsuits

so we could stay for awhile.

Instead of going off
on this stupid safari.

- (scoffs) I hear the
boat comin', let's go.

You wouldn't know a fellow by the name

of Crenshaw, would you?

- Everybody up and down
this river knows Crenshaw.

- How far down river is it to his place?

- Oh, by crow flight or by boat.

- By boat.

- Well I'd say about three miles.

First cabin on the right.

- Thank you very much, just load up.

(boat humming)

(jet ski roaring)

(dramatic music)

(boy shouts)

(tense music)

(boy garbling)

(boy breathes heavily)

(mysterious music)

(easygoing music)

These river bottoms are
truly a sight to behold.

As we traveled the river that day,

it made me feel good.

Here, the air is clean, reminding me

that much of this country is still

and should remain unspoiled.

With all the wildlife,
moving water and vegetation,

I was beginning to
understand how easy it is

for this creature to
survive and hide from men.

I'm convinced now that he is
more man like than animal.

Every reported sighting
he's always been seen

in an upright position
on his back two legs.

Bears, gorillas, orangutans
and such other animals

can walk about on two legs
but under stress or strain

will go down on all fours to run.

Crenshaw's.

(easygoing music)

(animals chittering)

Anybody home?

Knock on the door, Tim,
let's see if anybody answers.

(goat bleating)

(Brian sighs)

I don't think anybody's home.

- I don't like this at all.

That could be a mad goat.

(tense music)

- Hey.

What are y'all doin' here?

You lookin' for somethin' to steal?

- Nope, not exactly, saw
your place in the river.

Thought we'd stop for a minute.

- Well, boy, if I everybody stopped here

and saw my place on the river,

all I'd be doin' is entertainin'.

- Run into Trooper Williams
in town the other day

and he suggested we stop down and see ya.

- Trooper Williams, how is he doin'?

- He's doin' fine.

- Doc, I think we better head back home.

- Come on down here, son, sit down,

my bark's a whole lot worse

than my bite, why don't y'all have a seat.

How you young ladies?

- My name is Brian Lockhart, Dr. Lockhart.

- How you doin', cousin.

- Fine, this is Tanya, Leslie and Tim.

- [Crenshaw] Hi girls.

(goat bleating)

You want some, gal?

- Give me some.

- That a girl.

You married, ma'am?

That sure is a man's kind of woman.

- Ah, Mr. Crenshaw?

Been livin' down here long?

- I sure have.

I be at my truck back over in '46

and I ain't been no way in here
'cept the river since than.

- We're from the university
and we're studying man.

- Well, boy, if you come
down here and study me,

you'd better be prepared
to stay for awhile.

- No, sir, but I would like
to ask you some questions,

if I could?

- Uh-huh.

(menacing music)

You ain't with the revenue
boys, are you, son?

'Cause if you are, I'll throw down on you

before nine guards couldn't go to Menna.

- Nope, like I said,
we're from the university.

Studying the Boggy Creek Creature.

- The Boggy Creek Creature, huh?

Well I've known that all my life.

He grab back over in them woods.

- You ever seen him?

- Yeah, I've seen him all the time.

He's yellin' and ballin' and carryin' on.

- Are you serious?

- Yeah, I'm serious, they
woke me up around here

one mornin', bangin'
and beatin' on the tub.

The man can't get a bit
of sleep around here for.

- What'd the little one look like?

- Well, cousin, the little one
looks just like the biggin'.

- Yeah, I guess.

- Here girl, you want some of this?

What's the matter, girl, you sick?

- I am.

- That's there a man's kind of woman.

- I'm gonna go check on Tanya.

(thunder rumbling)

- Looks like there's a storm comin' up.

And a bad one too.

- I think we better head back down river.

Tim, you wanna get the girls?

It'll be dark here in a little bit.

- Boy, you don't wanna get on that river

with a storm comin' up like this.

That water draws lightning.

Well I got to go tend to my fires.

- [Brian] Are you okay?

- I think so.

(thunder rumbles)

- Wait, wait.

I'll tell you one thing.

This old man is up to something.

Whatever it is, I've got a
feelin' we're gonna find out

somethin' we've been lookin' for

and studyin' about for a long time.

Those brush palettes around there.

Got a lot of ash under 'em.

He been burnin' that brush for days.

I'm gonna go around there
and I'm gonna approach

the old man and try to
find out what's going on.

I want you guys to get on the porch

and wait for me, okay?

Let's go.

(animals chittering)

Clearin' land?

- Nope.

- You get a storm in these trees?

- Nope.

- None of my business, is it?

- Nope.

You can wait in the house
with the girls if you want to.

(thunder rumbling)

- Doc, come here.

What's he doin'?

- [Leslie] What'd you find out?

- Nothing yet.

Except he's up to no good.

- So we're gonna have
to spend the night here?

- Way the storm is and this gettin' worse,

we'll be here for the night.

- Doc, here he comes.

- Okay, get over here,
sit down, quick, come on.

Y'all be quiet, okay.

(mysterious music)

- You say you're a doctor, boy?

- That's right.

- Then you must be pretty
good at patchin' up folks

that's all busted.

- Not that kind of doctor, who's hurt?

- I thought all of you doctors was good

at doctorin' old sick folks.

Let me tell you somethin', cousin.

Me and you have got to have a talk.

And all nice and private.

- I think we're overdue.

- You come on with me.

Now cousin, I'm gonna
cut you in on somethin'

that's gonna get us rich.

Now you got the book
learnin' and the doctor power

and you know how to handle this situation.

- I'm worried about this.

- Doc knows what he's doin'.

- What do you think
they're doing in there?

- Now I'm gonna let you
get rich with me, boy.

- Go ahead, I'm listening.

- I know how to catch that
creature out there in the woods.

- Y'all trap it?
- Sort of.

You come on back here,
let me show you somethin'.

- Go ahead.

- [Crenshaw] Come on over here, boy.

Hunk on down, I wanna show you somethin'.

(Brian groans)

(dramatic music)
(creature growls)

(creature wheezes)

- My god, man.

How long have you had this?

- I caught him a few
days ago with my trap.

What do you think about him?

- I think you're crazy,
that's what I think.

This thing is almost dead.

It's weak.

(creature wheezes)

- That's what I got you here for, boy.

I want you to patch him up.

- Let me tell you somethin', old man.

That's why that thing's
been going crazy lately.

Jumpin' on people, been around our camp,

followed the girls.

He's after this little one.

That's why you're building these fires

around this camp, isn't it,
'cause it's afraid of the fire.

Is it?

- You finally smartened up, cousin.

You figured it out.

- We gotta get this to a doctor.

(mysterious music)

(thunder rumbles)

- Doc, what is it?

(door creaking)

- Lord have mercy, I
gotta get to my fires.

(door creaking)

- Doc, what happened in there?

- I saw it.

- Saw what?

- I saw the little creature.

- No, no!
- Wait a minute.

Quiet!
(thunder rumbles)

(fire crackles)

- I don't wanna see it.

- All right.

You stay here, Leslie.

Watch that old man out of here.

You guys come with me.

(tense music)

(fire crackles)

(creature wheezes)

- He ain't gonna make
it if we don't get him

to a doctor.

Storm or no storm, we have
to get him out of here.

(thunder rumbles)

(Leslie screams)

- Doc!

I heard the creature!

I heard the creature.

- Quiet, quiet.

Did you hear anything?

- [Leslie] Yeah, I heard him.

(creature growls)

(suspenseful music)

(creature growls)

- Now just wait a minute,
he's on the porch, be quiet.

(thunder rumbles)
(Leslie screams)

(gun fires)

Stay in there, stay in the house.

Hold it, man!

- Rain marked the fire,
it's coming in here on us.

- Put the shells back in your pocket!

- You better let me kill him now.

- You're not gonna fire that gun, man.

I mean it, hold it!

Don't cost me this time, old man.

Get in that house!

Right.

Get in there!

Tim, Tanya, check those (mumbles).

Here, man, give me the gun.

- You don't know what you're doing, boy.

(gun cocks)

- Don't let me tell you again,
old man, give me the gun!

Now let's sit down in that chair

and get real comfortable, okay?

Stay right there, old man.

Tim, hold this gun.

Take this.

You know how to use it.

You stay here, old man.

Watch him close.

(thunder rumbles)

- Come on, boy, give me that gun.

Don't be as stupid as that doctor.

- No way.

(creature roars)
(girls scream)

(dramatic music)

(girls scream)

- Hold it.

Nobody's gonna hurt you.

Not anymore.

I know you don't understand
but I'm gonna give you

what you came for.

Easy now.

(gentle music)

(creature growls)

- Give me that gun, boy.

- No, no!

- Get away from me, girl.

Get away.
- Hold on!

- Well give me them shells, boy.

(animals chittering)

Well boy.

You right about one thing.

- How's that?

- That thing ought to be left alone.

To remain free and live in the wild.

- [Brian] Crenshaw was not
telling me anything new.

For the last few days, I knew
this was the way it had to be.

Looks like I'm gonna fall
into the same category

as other people have done in
this area for years and years.

I just felt for some special reason

what I saw and what I
now know I wanted to keep

to myself, it wasn't
really a matter of whether

anyone would believe me or not.

I guess you could say it was a matter

of keeping him a mystery,
'cause this is where he belongs.

It's like the old gentleman
in the store said to me,

"Boy, there ain't no
monsters around here."

And you know something, they were right.

He's a part of nature living in harmony

in one of America's
last great wildernesses.

That's why this legend will continue.

For I feel God intended it that way.
