Class A First-hand BFRO #2110

Backpacker meets an 8-foot hairy biped standing behind tent

August 2000 dusk, still good light Lake City, Hinsdale County, Colorado 1 witness

Account

The witness was camped alone in a remote meadow with pack goats and dogs while tending a sick animal. At dusk the animals became alarmed and the witness exited a tent to see a tall erect chestnut-furred figure about 12 feet away staring directly. After a mutual stare the figure made a low rumble, a second figure was glimpsed behind it, and both left quickly with ground vibrations felt. The witness remained overnight without further incident and left the next morning.
