Onion Mountain, California
A hand print found in mud at the bottom of a shallow pool on Onion Mountain, California, by Bob Titmus in 1982. Titmus drained the pool to get a cast of the print. A human hand is shown to illustrate how the print was positioned.

The illustrated casts of a hand print and a knuckle print were made from impressions found by Paul Freeman in the Blue Mountains, Washington.
The hand print was found in 1995, and the knuckle print in 1982. A footprint, 16 inches long, was found near the hand print. The human hand shown is that of a large man, about 6 feet tall and weighing about 215 pounds. (It needs to be noted that the knuckle illustration should be that of a left human hand rather than right.)

Concerning the hand print, Dr. Henner Fahrenbach states that the accompanying footprint indicates a creature about 7 feet, 4 inches (2.2 m) in height. His analysis of the hand print is as follows: The fingers may appear shorter and more pointed than they are in reality since sand had started to drift down into the holes left by the fingers. The print is remarkable for the absence of the thenar pad (the bulge at the base of the thumb) and the visibility of the finger tendons within the palm if the cast is held at an angle to a sharp light, both factors indicating a low level of opposability of the thumb. Its width at the palm is also fairly low in comparison to the largest, though less complete, prints that have been found.
A scaled comparison between the cast of a human hand and the alleged sasquatch hand cast. The human cast has been photographically enlarged to match the size (height) of the sasquatch cast. The difference in the appearance of the casts is highly obvious.
Fort Bragg, California
In February 1962, a sasquatch was reported to have left a muddy hand print on the side of a white house in Fort Bragg, California. The creature had tried to enter the house. The 11.5-inch print was traced and compared to a man's hand.

A more detailed scale drawing of the Fort Bragg hand print compared to a man's hand (man about 6 feet tall,190 pounds). The origination of the drawing is not known. It was sent to John Green and surfaced in about 2002.
