Class A First-hand BFRO #1537

Forest Service surveyor finds over 20 large foot prints along a forest service road

6 December 1996 Pollock, Grant Parish, Louisiana 1 witness

Account

The witness stopped after noticing large footprints on the side of a road and found over 20 tracks that entered the woods, crossed the road, and continued into the woods. The tracks had five toes, were larger than the witness's size-12 boot, and sank deeper than the witness's boot print. Deer tracks and deer hair were also present around the tracks. The witness left to get a camera and returned to take five Polaroid photos of the tracks.
