Tree top snaps off while man casts suspected sasquatch track near by
Account
The witness found a large human-like footprint on a muddy curve and returned with a camera and casting supplies to document it. While making the cast, nearby bushes rustled violently and the top of a small tree snapped off and fell near the road, followed by several whinny-like vocalizations from the woods. Days later the witness believed an outline of a figure appeared in one photo and reported being followed on later visits to check for more prints.

Evidence & investigation
What the source says was found or done. Claimed evidence is listed as claimed; the Anomadex has not examined it.
Human-like footprint observed on muddy curve, reported as large.
Measurements: 17 1/4 inch
Cast made of the footprint; shows deep indentation at ball; investigator later judged it lacks sufficient detail to determine maker.
Measurements: 17 1/4 inch
Photos taken of footprint and surrounding area.
Top of tree snapped off and fell to road shoulder near witness; healthy green trunk, crown in full leaf.
Measurements: about 7 inches diameter at chest height, about 4 inches diameter about 16 feet up, top about 15 feet
Before-and-after photos showing tree intact then with top snapped off and lying on ground.
One photo allegedly shows outline of creature; withheld by witness pending authentication; investigator interprets as leaf pattern.
An investigator inspected the tree, noted healthy green trunk and no hairs, judged the cast undiagnostic and the alleged figure photo likely leaves, but found the break otherwise unexplained.
