Class B First-hand BFRO #33088

Couple find large footprint on Lake Cosby

January 2012 around noon Jacksonville/Starke, Bradford County, Florida 2 witnesses

Account

A couple on a day trip to a lake house noticed an unusually large footprint in marshy mud beside the dock. They left the dock for a closer look and described a very deep right footprint about 11-12 inches long and 5 inches wide with well-formed toes, heading toward the lake. One witness found his own foot barely sank when trying to recreate the depth, and the pair had no camera and found the print gone on return.
