Pennsylvania: Footprints Found In Luzerne County
Scott Snook of Lewistown, Pennsylvania, hasn’t seen a Sasquatch but he found 15-inch tracks in an undisclosed backwoods location in Luzerne County. He told a reporter for the Standard Journal that he found them in a patch of poison oak where it is unlikely that anyone would intentionally plant them.
He is a member of the Pennsylvania Bigfoot Society and investigates reports in that state. He’s also passed on his hobby of Bigfoot research to his 12-year-old son, Jared.
His interest in Bigfoot started in the mid-seventies when he saw the movie, Sasquatch, the Legend of Bigfoot. In that movie, which I recently rented from Netflix, a group of men ventured into the backcountry in search of Bigfoot. It was fictionalized but based on what looked like an actual Bigfoot research expedition. (You’ll find this as part of The Sasquatch Horror Collection Triple Feature.)

Can you remember what first inspired your interest in Bigfoot? I confess, I cannot. I’ve been fascinated by Bigfoot for many years and have no idea what got that started. Maybe it is that I love a good mystery, and so long as we don’t have contact with Bigfoot, the mystery remains. Of course, once we do have contact with Bigfoot, that will open up even more paths to explore.

I live in Luzerne county and I’ve never heard of anyone having any experience with a Bigfoot sighting or evidence.
I’d like to know what area the footprint was found, I’m interested.

Dear Ray… just bring up the question of b.f. to some old time hunters from luzerne co. Over the years I’ve heard many storys, first and second hand accounts. there are also local legends of these creatures. Some from the last century and the old apple thrower stories. So… the info is there, don’t be embarrassed to ask, just play along like it’s a joke and you’ll hear.

Hi, I just came across 2 pics I took at my Dads hunting camp April 25,2004(developed). Pix are from spring turkey season(it snowed heavy that weekend).
I showed my Dad the tracks. It was too far of a gap between prints to be human formed. Plus the first one was coming thru a heavy overgrown tree line.
1 pic shows the gap. The other, a close up of a rt. foot.
I would be happy to forward scans of prints.
The camp is in Clearfield County, near the town of Karthaus.

Ther was another one in Pennsylvania around 2006 or 2007 they had 2 pictures of a Juvenile Sasquatch on a game camera. Bigfoot researchers checked it out but the game warden tried to say it was a bear with mange. Then a engineer from Pittsburgh and a scientist from Duke university investigated and found it was’nt a bear! Even a bear expert changed his mind and said he couldn’t tell for sure what it was!
