Alabama Bigfoot Print?
On December 28th, I was hiking with two friends in the Cheaha Wilderness in Alabama and came upon this footprint in the snow. We were all skeptical of what it might be, but kept following tracks down the trail. We didn't know what to think. This isn't an area associated with Bigfoot and you really don't find many people trying to fake them around here. The heel looked a little small to me to be an actual Bigfoot, so we were perplexed.

ReplyDeleteYou see the heel looking like that in several Bigfoot prints and Krantz mentioined the effect: that is because the heel is being dragged and it makes the footprint seem longer than it really is. Another thing you often see is when the toes slide on the opposite end of the foot. You don't get either effect from an inflexible wooden board-template.
