Latrobe, Westmoreland Cty, Pennsylvania
Feb 1985
Account
Two men on their way to work noticed big tracks in the snow. Stan Gordon was notified by the Bulletin, and his associates followed the tracks for about half a mile. They went over Chetnut Ridge from near the Kenametal plant towards Ligonier. Blowing snow overnight covered them before they could be photographed. They compressed a foot of snow and ice, indicating great weight, and at one point the creature stepped over a snow bank 6 feet high and 3 feet wide.
