Bossburg is a ghost town in Stevens County, Washington, and is located on the east bank of the Columbia River just south of the Canada–US border.

In a futile effort to keep the town alive, a ferry system across the Columbia River was established, and a sawmill was built for lumber operations.

On November 24, 1969, large human-like tracks with a crippled-looking right foot were found near the Bossburg town dump.

The track maker was believed by some to be an injured Bigfoot and was dubbed by locals as the "Bossburg Cripple"; it is now generally known as "Cripplefoot."

On December 13, 1969 they discovered 1089 giant human-like tracks in the snow leading to, from, and across a river near Lake Roosevelt, near Bossburg.

[3] They were joined later by anthropologist Grover Krantz, who took photos and made casts, and later, intermittently, by film-maker Roger Patterson and his assistant, Dennis Jenson, who stayed full-time.

[8] In January 1970, while Bigfooters were in Bossburg in the wake of Ivan Marx's Cripplefoot track find there,[9] they were approached by Joe Metlow, a prospector.

John Green, a Canadian Sasquatch researcher, and a journalist and editor in his day job, came and got involved in a way that offended Dahinden.
