Tracks found before Christmas, near Hendersonville
Account
During a December 2000 snowstorm evening the witness's normally calm dog reacted intensely as if an animal was outside. About two and a half hours later the witness found a single line of very large, deep, widely spaced footprints in snow crossing the yard from one wooded area to another. The witness compared the prints to their own boot and stride and judged they were made around the time of the dog's reaction, but blowing snow had obscured detail.

Measurements: estimated size 14-15 shoe; swallowed woman's size 9 boot 2 1/2 times; stride 4-5 feet; made within 2-3 hours
An investigator who spoke with the witness assessed the stride as leading to believe the tracks were a possible sasquatch despite obscured detail.
