Account
The witness was driving toward Leadville in daylight when he noticed a tall stump-like shape in a meadow about 100 feet away. As he got closer the shape appeared to rotate from the waist up and look at him, revealing a hairy, thick-bodied figure with a head, facial features, and long legs. He braked hard and skidded to a stop, losing sight in the dust, and when he turned back there was no tree or figure in the field.
