Print found in Sam Houston National Forest along Lone Star Hiking Trail
The witness and his father were hiking a loop trail back toward their car when the witness noticed a single barefoot-like impression in soft ash.

The witness concluded no person would be walking barefoot there and considered the print non-human.
