Incident #991831
Port Royal, Bearfort Cty, South Carolina
1973
Account
Dean Poucher and his wife walked out on a dock on an inhabited island across from the uninhabited one where he had seen tracks three years before. In mud beside the dock were the same tracks, coming out of the 'creek' and disappearing in the woods. (Dates are based on Columbia State story. If the name of the island is fictitious the dates might be too. See 1830.)
