Hunter locates large footprints near Railroad Flats

Fall 1968 morning Railroad Flats, Calif., Calaveras County, California 1 witness

Account

The witness and a relative were deer hunting and camped in a remote area. The witness scouted a hilltop path one afternoon, then returned the next morning after light rain to find large human-like barefoot prints overlying his own prints from the day before. He followed them along the ridge until they left the trail into trees and underbrush, where he stopped.
