Class B First-hand BFRO #30369

Photo of a possible footprint taken by campers in the Fort Hill Area

August 2011 hot, sunny afternoon Hillsoboro, Adams County, Ohio 3 witnesses

Account

The witness was hiking with two companions on a hill trail when they found a large human-like footprint in mud. Shortly after, they heard a loud crash like a tree or branch breaking and then heard something moving in dense brush alongside the trail, keeping pace as they walked. The follower stopped when they stopped and continued for several minutes before stopping. They never saw the source and photographed the track.
