Man describes track find
Account
While cutting firewood near a church, the witness was alerted by a relative to tracks behind the church and found over 50 fresh, large, heavy tracks. The tracks continued in a straight line through a cemetery, over a barbed wire fence and down a hill. Two relatives who examined the tracks suggested they must be Bigfoot. No camera was available that day because it was getting dark.
