Diana, Upshur Cty, Texas
Mar 1977
Account
Dodd Smith told his mother he had found Bigfoot prints in the yard. She wouldn't look at first. No information as to how many tracks or where, but a big fallen tree limb moved aside, a section of barbed-wire fence knocked down, limbs torn off a pine tree 8 feet up, claw marks on a fallen tree, and fine brown hairs 7 inches long found on fence. No definite toe marks, but clawlike marks at the front of the prints could have been toes.
