Jason Lorefice (the man shown below in the photo) says, “The tracks were in Bridgewater MA outside the Hockomock swamp near Lake Nipp.
I was down there last month on vacation, and I was mountain biking in the swamp area. I found a series of tracks going accross a corn field leading into the swamp.
The stride was approximately 87 inches in length. The cast came out to be 18 inches x 7 inches.”
For me, this print raises several questions…
1) Why is it so perfect?
2) Were others found nearby? Why aren’t they pictured?
3) Where is the evidence of a trackway?
4) Why, reportedly, have the facts of the story changed over time?
5) Who is this person and what do they have in mind by presenting this “evidence.”?
Frankly, the toes do seem too good to be true, all separated like they are, with no litter in the print, and so nicely appearing for a photograph and to be casted. It reminds me of the old Ray Wallace-Cliff Crook trophy prints.
Note the raised ridge of dirt at the back of the photographed track in the soil? That appears to indicate extra pressure from a static form (a fake foot?) being pushed into the ground.
Is the track cast maker trying to embarrass someone, seeking attention (there are hints of his involvement in future radio shows and attempts to be on “monster hunts”)?
Thanks to Joe Citro, for passing this along.
About Loren Coleman
Loren Coleman is one of the world’s leading cryptozoologists, some say “the” leading living cryptozoologist. Certainly, he is acknowledged as the current living American researcher and writer who has most popularized cryptozoology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969. An honorary member of Ivan T. Sanderson’s Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained in the 1970s, Coleman has been bestowed with similar honorary memberships of the North Idaho College Cryptozoology Club in 1983, and in subsequent years, that of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, CryptoSafari International, and other international organizations. He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct).
Loren Coleman’s daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013. He returned as an infrequent contributor beginning Halloween week of 2015.
Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.
