Incident #991796
Corinth, Alcorn Cty, Mississippi
Mar 1976
Account
Tracks found along Smith Bridge Road just north of U.S. 72. Joe McKewen and Gene Calvary tracked them about 250 yards in to the woods and another man reported to have followed them a quarter mile into the woods into a valley where they disappeared. Depth indicated a weight "a whole lot heavier than 250 pounds." Going up a bank steps were shortened and the two middle toes dug in. On level ground the heel was deeper. McEwan planned to make a cast.
