Fisherman finds footprint near Witts Springs

30 October 2002 300 pm Witts Springs, Searcy County, Arkansas 1 witness

Account

The witness was hiking alone downstream from a primitive campground to look at fishing streams. At a gravel area on the edge of the creek the witness found several small round prints and a much larger human-foot-shaped impression at the water's edge. The witness did not photograph the large impression and later could not find a logical explanation for it.
