Class B First-hand BFRO #49614

Strange game camera photo leads to finding possible footprints outside of New London

8 August 2015 12:01 PM New London, Huron County, Ohio

Account

A game camera captured a close-up image of long reddish-brown hair directly in front of the lens with no body visible. The property owners then found a series of four large barefoot tracks with visible toes coming from the woods past the same camera. They photographed the tracks with a tape measure, and later investigators measured remaining impressions at about 14 inches long. No one reported seeing the creature directly.
