The Ford Family's Escape from a Fouke Monster Nightmare! | Tales of the Unexplained!

 Story and Photos By Ken Hulsey

In the last week of April 1971, two families moved into a rental home just off Highway 71, north of the rural farming town of Fouke, Arkansas. Don and Patricia Ford, along with their four children, shared the home with Charles and Elizabeth Taylor. Both men had been hired by a local ranch, and the families decided to share the house to save on expenses. The small town of Fouke seemed like a nice, quiet place to settle down, but the events of the next few days would be so terrifying that they would ultimately pack up and flee the town forever.

Over the following decades, sightings expanded across Miller County, Arkansas and into eastern Texas, with even a few reports within the city limits of Texarkana.
