Couple sees "power-walking" biped in forest above Leadville
Account
The witness was driving with her husband on a mountain road in the afternoon while camping. They saw a large black bipedal animal walking through a clearing toward the mountainside. It had very long arms and took huge unhurried strides before disappearing into dense pines within a few seconds. Despite having a camcorder beside them, they did not film it.
