Strange Footprints Found in Derry Township, PA-March 24, 2020

On March 24, 2020, cryptozoologist Ron Murphy and his children decided to take an afternoon walk. They were roaming through rural Derry Township when Ron and his daughter Willow, noticed a series of odd looking footprints on the wet ground.

The tracks were estimated to be about 8-10 inches long and approximately 3-4 inches wide. The stride was less than 3 feet in length. One track showed some indication of toes, but another track showed what appeared to be clear impressions of 3 toes. Both right and left tracks were evident.

Addendum

This area borders close to the base of the Chestnut Ridge that extends through this section of Westmoreland County. This mountain range extends through Westmoreland, Fayette, and Indiana Counties in southwestern Pennsylvania, and extends too West Virginia near Morgantown. This mountainous area has a very long history of mysterious events. Multitudes of people for years have encountered UFOs, Bigfoot, cryptids, and various other phenomena in this region. These strange encounters continue to be reported yearly.

In January of 2019, a series of similar small footprints were seen in the snow very close to the area where these most recent tracks were found. While I have received reports of larger five toed and three toed footprints being seen in locations around this general area, I have also had many reports of similar smaller footprints being observed as well. There were similar footprints found along the Loyalhanna Creek in 1987, and other reports since then in Derry Township.
