Long bigfoot trackway found in state forest near Jacksonville
Account
On a February night during a team camping investigation, the witness walked a sandy road near powerlines and found large footprint impressions in the sand. The team marked the clearest prints and returned in the morning to document a faint quarter-mile trackway ending at a creek, measuring 16-inch prints with a 54-inch stride. They attempted plaster casts and a phone-based 3D scan, though thick plaster obscured toe detail.
