Back in the 1970s, the film Legend of Boggy Creek came out. An early example of a "docu-drama", it used actors and dramatizations to tell the story of a Bigfoot-esque monster that has allegedly haunted Fouke, Arkansas for something like a century. The movie, focussed specifically on incidents that happened in the time period when it was made, just a year or two before. I have not seen The Legend of Boggy Creek, but have heard the stories involved. A particular incident from that event where a Bigfoot smashed through a window where a woman was on a couch haunts me to this day.
In the latest episode of her ongoing series Monstrum, Dr. Emily Zarka visit Fouke, talks to people from the town, including some who were around in that period and some with more recent encounters with the monster. While Emily usually focusses on monsters from older folklore or literature, she has explored modern cryptid and UAP phenomena from the standpoint of them being modern folklore in some previous episodes.
