Three-toed print found while cutting firewood
Account
The witness reports that while cutting firewood with a relative on a saturated old road on a morning after overnight rain, they discovered a single large three-toed footprint. The print was described as about 14.5 inches long and nearly 5 inches wide and pressed about two inches deep. A relative attempted to replicate the depth with his own step but made only a shallow impression, leading them to infer great weight. No photograph or cast was made and a brief search found no additional prints.
