Incident #991770
Linton, Trigg Cty, Kentucky
Jan 1981
Account
Mrs. Lillian Dawson noticed the big tracks and showed them to William Bartee. They began at a briar patch at the Linton boat ramp on Lake Barkley, wandered through the parking lot and along the lakeshore then up to Highway 164. Mike Waits, a reporter, followed them for about 500 yards, others reported to have followed them 4 miles. There were no tracks around them when Mrs. Dawson found them, and when Waits was there the big tracks were deeper than any human footprints. They also went over a bush about 3 feet tall.
