Incident #992464
Johnstown, Cambria Cty, Pennsylvania
Aug 1980
Account
A footprint 17.75 inches long and 7.5 inches wide was found in a low, soft spot behind the rabbit cage back of the Jim Young home a mile of Frankstown Road in a wooded area. It was 3.75 inches deep and showed a callus behind the big doe. There was a second partial print about eight feet away. For two nights the family were disturbed by noises outside and they were bothered by a penetrating odour. (There was probably more fuss made about this one footprint than about any set of good tracks ever found anywhere.)
