Class B First-hand BFRO #8532

Huge footprints discovered in a Duvall garden

Spring 1998 late morning Carnation, King County, Washington 3 witnesses

Account

The witness discovered two very large footprints in the freshly tilled soil of a front-yard vegetable garden about four or five years before reporting. The witness called over two relatives, and all three viewed the prints, which were described as deep, wide, and spaced too far apart to be human. No photograph or plaster cast was made. The garden sits on an unfenced property in the Cascade foothills surrounded by heavily wooded land with a creek nearby.
