Class B Investigator summary BFRO #1721

Children find 19" tracks in snow

16 April 1975 Darrington, Snohomish County, Washington

Account

Several children riding bikes on a snow-covered dirt road reported seeing footprints and walked barefoot in the snow, getting their feet cold and wet. Their mother went to look and reported finding large human-like tracks in deep snow, which were photographed. A later examination documented a trackway of about two dozen large prints leading from a hill to the road.
