The Devil's Footprints

Snow fell on the night of February 8, 1855 in county of Dover in England. When the residents awoke the next morning, they discovered sets of hoof-like footprints surrounding their homes. The marks were about four inches long and three inches across and covered somewhere between 40 and 100 miles of tracks.

The hoof marks were all in a single line—which a four-legged creature could not produce. Terrified citizens believed that the devil had come to Dover. Some locals had the footprints leading straight to their front door, leaving them especially spooked. There have been many theories about what caused these prints, but none of them have ever been confirmed.

Maybe just some animal? Whats your opinion?
