Possible tracks found near cabin at Otter Lake

BFRO YEAR: apx 1979 morning Between Lombardy And Portland, Ontario 6 witnesses

Account

As a child on a family vacation at a secluded cabin, the witness experienced nighttime garbage disturbance and loud branch snapping during an afternoon walk. One morning the family found several very large footprints in damp dirt outside the cabin, so large that an adult foot was dwarfed inside one. The family left the same day without making a cast of the prints.
