Gentleman walking his dog at dusk describes possible encounter and print near St. Joseph

6 June 2012 morning Kalamazoo, Berrien County, Michigan 1 witness

Account

The witness reported finding a large footprint on a trail behind a campground that was not there the previous evening. The dog drew attention to the spot by sniffing the ground. The witness compared the print to a size 10.5 shoe, noted it was larger and pressed about half to three-quarters inch deep without being duplicated by full body weight, and photographed it with a cell phone. No creature was seen.
