Family finds long-stride footprints in snow near house
Account
After an overnight snowfall, the witness noticed large tracks in the snow beside the house from a window, then later found they continued across the front yard into the woods. The trackway was described as bipedal with a long stride of about five feet and no sign of pausing. The witness photographed the tracks alongside the house and their own boot prints for scale, but the film was undeveloped at the time of the report.
