Possible brief sighting by a motorist outside Mountain Iron

Possible footprints found near Mackinaw River

The follow-up clarified a total of three prints estimated at about 14 inches long and 6 inches wide without actual measurement, with photos too unclear to publish. The witness doubted anyone would walk barefoot in cold mud at a construction site.
