Father and son witness fast-moving biped crossing road east of Fort Garland

14 October 2011 5 am FortGarland, Costilla County, Colorado 2 witnesses

Account

While driving south to go hunting before sunrise, the witness and a companion saw a grey, shaggy bipedal figure run across the highway and up an embankment over a fence. The figure was bent over and moving very fast with its arms pumping, and had very long hair on its forearms. After stopping to look with a flashlight, they heard two distinct whistles from the trees.
