Footsteps in Kentucky

As a young child the guest went with his grandfather just before daylight to check fishing lines down a dirt path to a river bottom. The woods were unusually quiet and there was a dead-fish-like smell. The grandfather stopped the child, they heard trees and limbs breaking and heavy footsteps on the opposite hill, then turned around and left without seeing anything.

In winter the guest walked through a cleared deer plot in the ravine area. In a muddy thawed patch he found a fresh bare footprint about four to five inches long. He reasoned no child would be barefoot there in winter and took it to suggest a family group.

The two hikers describe finding a large partial footprint while off trail along a river about a year before the main night encounter. Only the front half with visible toes was preserved. They questioned why anyone would hoax a print so far from maintained trails.
