A hunter recalls finding giant footprints as a boy, and recently heard a strange vocalization while hunting hogs late at night on the outskirts of Varnado
Account
Family members found a line of large human-like footprints in sand that started at a lake, went up a steep sand bank, and continued toward a thick swamp. The prints were described as about 16 inches long with a very long stride of about eight feet. The discovery was reported in summer 1991 after a relative noticed the tracks by the lake.
