Tree top snaps off while man casts suspected sasquatch track near by

The witness found a large human-like footprint on a muddy curve and returned with a camera and casting supplies to document it.

Days later the witness believed an outline of a figure appeared in one photo and reported being followed on later visits to check for more prints.
