A series of large, human-like footprints are found on a farm near Wayne National Forest
Account
The witnesses found a line of very large barefoot human-like tracks in snow on their farm leading into a wooded hollow and thickets, which they did not follow. The tracks were described as about 13 inches long with five toes, no claws, and a 4.5 to 5 foot stride, unlike bear tracks. A game warden viewed the tracks the next day and could not identify their source.
