Footsteps near Avery, California
Account
The witness stayed overnight in an unfinished cabin during a winter visit. Late at night the dogs became agitated while heavy breathing and large footfalls circled the structure for about fifteen minutes. Next morning the witness found very large, deep footprints that stepped over a tall barbed-wire fence and led downhill across a creek into the woods.
