Account

Late on a Friday night the residents called police to report someone sneaking near their home. The responding officer searched the grounds and found a human-looking left-foot track near the front porch, described as about 14 inches long. A resident later made a cast of the print, which the investigator photographed and which was later measured at about 16 3/4 inches long.
