The Arkansas River Monster Kenneth Edward Barnes

There is something in the water of the Arkansas River. It is unlike anything that has ever been seen or heard of before. After there are several attacks on animals and humans, the people all along the river and streams that flow into it are terrified and want answers. No one even knows what it is. There are speculations and theories, but since the victims never see it until it is too late, no one knows for sure what the monster is or how it came to be in the waters of Arkansas. Some think the creature may have come from the ocean and became trapped when the new Mount Carmel Dam was erected, which blocked its exit back to the Mississippi River. Others think it could be a giant alligator or even an overgrown catfish. Some even think that it could be a shark, which has somehow adapted to fresh water. Then there are a few that think is an unknown creature such as the Loch Ness monster. Only catching or killing it will answer the questions once and for all. However, it will not be easy to capture or even find the mysterious monster as it has plenty of places and water in which to hide.
