Park Rangers and residents of Glendale Springs observe large footprints in deep snow

The witness claimed large foot-shaped tracks were found in deep snow around their home in Glendale Springs. The tracks were described as 12 to 16 inches long and spaced 5 to 6 feet apart, extending over a mile or more and appearing to cross a split-rail fence in one stride. More than ten residents and park rangers reportedly saw the tracks and photos were taken, while rangers suggested rabbits or small animals as an explanation.

Sasquatch sighting near Forsyth County (1983)

The witness and a friend parked in a car on a wide tractor path near creek bottoms at night to drink before a party. A very large hair-covered biped took one long stride into the path about 20-25 feet away and faced the car for a minute or more, breathing heavily and flexing its fists. After a whistle-like sound from the woods, the creature made a dismissive huff, stepped out of sight in one stride, and left silently. The two men drove away and did not return.

Long trail of 13" long human-like footprints found in deep snow and rough terrain

The witness was backpacking alone on a steep, snow-covered trail when they found large bare human-like footprints heading the same direction for about a mile and a half. The witness initially dismissed them as a possible hoax and chose not to photograph them. Overnight rain melted the snow, and the footprints were gone by the descent the next day.
