Rancher, wife startled by vocalizations near Leadville

August 1998 Leadville, Lake County, Colorado 2 witnesses

Account

A couple starting a barbecue fire at their ranch heard repeated deep, low-frequency hollers from the direction of the pasture tree line. Horses in the pasture ran toward the couple and appeared spooked. The couple put out the fire and left, estimating the source was no more than a quarter-mile away.
