REPORT DETAIL

Description of event: Was helping cut fire wood for my sister down from the church where somebody had timbered earlier and left some trees down, My 17 year old daughter had to use the bathroom, I told her to go use the churches out house which is behind the church, a few minutes later she came running back, Mom you have to see this, please come and look, I said We have to get this wood done or else it will be dark in a few minutes. Well she was insistant I go now so just she and I went to look, when i got up behind the church, I must say I was speechless, they were everywhere, We later counted over 50 (FRESH) Tracks. I went back and got my husband and brother -in- law, To come and Take a look,immedietly they both nelt down, just grinning from ear to ear, I said What are they? They looked at me and said must be Bigfoot, What else could they be,my husband doesn't hunt but my brother in law practically lives in the woods, they were speechless. What got my attention was after what ever made the prints walked into the cemetary they were all in a straight line down through the cemetary and stepped over a barbed wire fence and down over the hill. Needless to say we did not have a camera with us and it was getting dark, we never made it back to the sight until Feb. 8th but one track was still visible on the dirt pile where they dump the extra dirt after a burial. I took this picture with a video camera, I placed my pack of cigarretes beside it, they were 4 inches in length. I didnt think to take a tape measure with me but I guestimated the tracks to be 16 inches possible longer. What ever left the tracks was very heavy.
