Class A Direct interview BFRO #35596

Early evening sighting by two women hiking in Bailey

May 2012 7:45 PM Bailey, Park County, Colorado 2 witnesses

Account

Two women on an evening hike heard a loud branch break and saw a large bipedal figure running parallel to them through the forest and down a hill. They watched it for several seconds as it moved very fast with long strides and a forward lean, making no running noise despite dry ground cover. Both described it as tall, bulky and covered in dark grey to black hair, concluding it matched a bigfoot and was not a human or common animal.
