Account

While hiking with young relatives in a forested area, the group noticed a large barefoot-like impression in dried mud beside the trail. The witness examined, measured, photographed and cast the single print, noting width, length, heel, arch and partial toes. A two-hour search found no additional prints, hair or scat, and the exact location was withheld pending further investigation.
