Incident #1000827
Everson, Whatcom Cty, Washington
Feb 1971
Account
Mrs. Don Peterson's dog acted very upset about midnight. Next morning Petersons and friends found huge barefoot prints in the snow going up to the barn and around the well shack towards the back of the house. Prints were nearly 15 inches long and 8 inches wide. They showed toes. Petersons have also had something thump the back of the house, and something with a horrible smell frightened the dog so she won't go out to her doghouse at night.
