Hikers find footprint in Perry State Park
Account
The witness was hiking with his wife on a lakeside trail and kneeling to photograph mosses when he noticed a large footprint in soft soil. He photographed it from overhead and with his shoe for scale, but found no other prints due to heavy leaf litter. An investigator later spoke with him by phone and recorded the track dimensions, but the photos lacked sufficient detail to include.
