Long bigfoot trackway found in state forest near Jacksonville

On a February night during a team camping investigation, the witness walked a sandy road near powerlines and found large footprint impressions in the sand. The team marked the clearest prints and returned in the morning to document a faint quarter-mile trackway ending at a creek, measuring 16-inch prints with a 54-inch stride. They attempted plaster casts and a phone-based 3D scan, though thick plaster obscured toe detail.

March 2008 Humptulips, Grays Harbor County, Washington Class B #23493

Possible tracks in snow east of Humptulips (w/photo)

Four people driving logging roads found large footprints in about a foot of snow beside the road. After photographing an initial line of about six prints, they found a longer line of more than thirty prints on a landing. They concluded the prints were not human because of the large size, five toes, and long stride that the witness could not recreate.
