The Evidence of The Footprints


The footprints of the Sasquatch have constituted the bulk of the evidence for the existence of the creature for more than half a century. There have been some tracks that have been faked, but they are usually easily discernable from the real ones. The tracks have been found in all types of environments, from muddy trails to snow-covered mountains; from dirt roads to patches of forest, and they all have one thing in common-their tremendous size. Many times the tracks measure anywhere from 14" to a whopping 24 inches in length. Many times they are 6 or 7" across the ball of the foot, 5" across the heel. I believe the tracks, in some cases, constitute the greatest evidence for the existence of Sasquatch. The most impressive to me are a set of four tracks which were examined by Conroe, Texas forensics police officer Jimmy Chilcutt. The four sets were found in different areas of the country, some more than 20 years apart. Chilcutt examined the tracks, and found they had dermal ridges in them, the foot's equivalent to fingerprints. The dermal ridges were determined to have twice the thickness of a human's dermal ridges. Chilcutt was initially skeptical of the existence of the creature, but after examining these tracks with the dermal ridges, he came to the conclusion that yes, there is an animal out there making these tracks. Having found unusual tracks myself, I can attest to the reality of this animal.
