Possible footprints found by a hiker on Mt. Ascutney

On May 24, 2015 the witness was hiking for pleasure when she found two very large footprints near a tree by the trail.

She returned several days later to make plaster casts, but rain and leaf litter made the casts poor.

Family discovers fresh footprints in the snow while cutting down a Christmas tree

The witness family went into the woods in deep fresh snow to cut a Christmas tree. They found large footprints that crossed a pond and continued into a hemlock grove, with prints 12 to 14 inches long and a stride estimated at six feet. Something appeared to have stepped over a small leaf-covered tree without knocking leaves off, and the family dog barked intensely, leading the witness to feel they had just missed whatever made the tracks.
