Incident #991401
Newcomerstown, Tuscarawas Cty, Ohio
Sep 1990
Account
Further information from Rhonda Lafferty's letter. There were two types of footprints, one human-shaped, one triangular, as wide at the toes as they were long. She eventually saw perfect prints in wet sand which showed enormously long toes, 5 to 6 inches of tracks a 16 to 18 inch print. A series shows tremendous flexibility. Hands prints are up to 3/4 the size of footprints. David Lafferty cast one of the humanlike tracks. They went through impossible brush and gulleys, and they followed specific paths. The female showed hostility whenever humans were around the young one.
