Mrs. Brody Parker encountered huge footprints in the vegetable garden. Hundreds of people came to see them. Brody said that the toes shifted with different steps, and that limbs as high as 25 feet were broken off pecan trees in a nearby orchard. (Didn't say if prints went there) Two days later another set of prints appeared in the area.
