Account

The witness camped overnight near a dried creek bed with a relative and a companion when a herd of deer or elk stampeded through camp around midnight and scattered cooking gear. The next morning the witness found a single huge footprint in the creek bed estimated as size 20 and several inches wide. The witness concluded a bigfoot had caused the stampede and became convinced bigfoot exists, though no animal was seen.
