Incident #1000647
Orange Cty, California
May 1982
Account
Searching an area where "Mr. H." had reported a sighting a year earlier, Dennis Ruminer found in the sand of a nearby riverbed several hundred yards of humanlike tracks, 15" by 8", with an even 52-inch stride and a depth up to 6 inches. Three days later he found a new set of the same tracks 10 yards away, and three weeks later found another set of the same tracks, but no more after that. Photographs are not good.
