Possible track way found in the snow in Vaughn Woods State Park east of Dover
Account
The witness was hiking alone in a snowy state park while occasionally whooping and knocking. She found a straight line of large, fresh footprints in snow from the previous day and followed it off-trail for about a quarter mile, noting toe and heel details in some prints. She documented the trackway with photos and video before turning back as daylight faded and her phone battery died.
