Hikers Find Multiple Tracks Near Covelo
The witness with companions found unusual elongated footprints without claw marks in mud on a dirt road. They photographed several prints with a tape measure for scale, followed one set for about 20 yards, and noted three different sizes. Bear tracks seen nearby looked distinctly different.
Creaure heard running away by campers.
The witness stayed behind from dinner with a bloody nose and, while at a restroom, heard slow footsteps moving in brush hidden by high bushes. After telling other campers at dinner, the group returned and found large manlike footprints in hard ground. When footsteps were heard again, the witness and another camper chased the source uphill, heard it running away, and found only toe-prints.
Witness heard stomping and crashing of small trees.
The witness was lying in a tent at night in woods near Mendocino when loud stomping and crashing of small trees was heard about fifty yards away. The sounds lasted about 30 seconds and were interpreted as a biped moving quickly, apparently pursued by barking dogs. After the crashing stopped, a dog was heard yelping as if badly injured, then silence fell. The next morning the witness found broken vegetation but no clear sign of its cause and moved camp.
