Multi-witness account of an observation of a strange creature on a ridge

November 1997 Manitou Springs, El Paso County, Colorado

Account

The witness claims to have been stopped in snow-related traffic on Highway 24. After stepping out of the vehicle, the witness noticed another stopped motorist pointing toward a hillside. The witness then observed a creature on a ridgeline about two hundred feet above the highway but could not follow it due to ice and fear.
