Incident #992204
Blandford, Hampden Cty, Massachusetts
Feb 1979
Account
Outdoor writer Frank Sousa and tracker John Tangredi presumably checking as a result of sasquatch report in the same area, found a single large track in the Cobble Mountain area near Blandford. Part of the surface was snow, part ice. Heel and big toe did not show because of ice, but the rest of the track was clear and appeared fresh, no sign of melting out. It was roughly twice the size of a man's foot.
