Class B First-hand BFRO #25979

Man finds possible footprint outside Palatka

June 2007 around 8:00 with good light Paltka/Bardin, Putnam County, Florida 1 witness

Account

The witness was hiking alone on the Florida Trail when he found very large bare human-like footprints on a dirt road that had been clear of prints shortly before. He did not see the track-maker but reported feeling watched and then hearing a yelp described as half dog and half human. He did not photograph the prints and hurried back to his truck.
