Incident #1001498
Walkerville, Silver Bow Cty, Montana
Dec 1988
Account
Audrey Dibble and her daughter-in-law had hiked a mile up Bull Run Gulch just Northwest of Walkerville, from the ranch house her son and family were renting. Next day her son found two sets of tracks punched to the ground through the hard snow and ice. The larger one, 17-inches, went around the house, barn and fields below the house. The smaller one stayed out by the rabbit hutches and had curiously curled feet, 14.5 inches around the curve. Backtracking showed they had come in following the tracks made by the two women the day before, from the head of the gulch. A week later horrible screams were heard from the trees on the far side of the fields.
