TIME:
Late Afternoon
LOCATION:
Marshall County, Mississippi
TERRAIN:
Wooded
OBSERVED:
My husband and I were building a get a way cabin. We would go on
weekends and work on the cabin and clear the land etc. We lived and
worked in Memphis. When we had the first snowfall, we headed out
after work and went to the property to see how many animal tracks were
in the new snow. We had heavy wooded area on both sides and were walking
towards a large natural open clearing. We both commented on how there were
no tracks, not even little bird tracks, just clean beautiful snow. We both
saw the footprint in the snow at the same time. I took a picture of my
size ten shoe next to the big imprint. Mine looked very small next
to it. There were four steps in the snow and a long distance between
steps. The heel of imprint was extremely narrow compared to the width
of the ball of the footprint. The large foot imprint had only four toes.
I asked my husband "what is this from" he said he didn't know but we needed
to get the hell out of there. We continued to go there on weekend, but
we both always felt like we were being watched.
Additional
Info: Even though this
was very unsettling and I never walked into the wooded area after
that afternoon, what really has had me questioning what this was....where
did this come from. You see, the clearing had no other prints on
it, they just appeared, it was if it flew in and flew out. could
not have jumped from trees, as there were no trees close to where the prints
were....and where they ended...same thing...no trees to jump onto.
Just a large open clearing with woods on both sides.
My
husband and I were both working in upper management in our fields of work.
It feels good telling about this snowy afternoon. I know I have not
been the same since...always looking when in wooded area, in any part of
the country.
Activities
of Witness: Husband
and I had gotten off work, late afternoon, sun was still up. We drove our
yellow corvette to our getaway weekend cabin project. Checking to
see what animal prints were in the new snow fall.
Description
of Creature: No sighting of the
animal...only four foot prints in the new fallen snow. Very large
compared to my large size 10 shoe. Very narrow heel with a much wider ball
of foot with only four toes.

Other
(Informational or Encounter History in the General Area) Notes:
Never saw anything else while we spent weekends in this area.
there were many weekends where the birds were quiet..we always felt like
we were not alone. You better believe we always had large campfires going
while we were there.
