Fisherman finds possible footprints near Grassy Lake (w/photo)
Account
Last spring the witness was fishing in the afternoon and found unusual tracks, which were photographed with size references. The tracks led into an area blocked by two creeks, then turned and went back out. The next day the witness's dog picked up scent at the tracks and then fled back to the car, appearing frightened. Another person fishing in the area also reported seeing the tracks.
