Teenagers find footprint near Daugherty

October 1983 about 5:15 pm, starting to get dark Daugherty, Cass County, Missouri 3 witnesses

Account

Three people walking and exploring near a harvested soybean field noticed large steps in the grass and then found a very large footprint in dirt that had washed into the grass. They could not follow additional tracks because it was getting dark and the trail led into woods. No cast or photo was made, and nothing else was found later.
