Fishermen find footprints east of Egegik
Account
A commercial fisherman on a multi-day photography trip in remote Alaska found an exceptionally large human-like footprint in gravel and sand. The impression was deeper than nearby bear tracks, showed no claw marks, was documented with a boot for scale, and could be traced for about a hundred feet. He and his companion felt uneasy as if watched but reported no sounds or odors.
