Account
The witness and a companion were archery hunting in high-elevation basins in western Colorado when they heard a single, extremely loud scream lasting several seconds from the direction of their camp. They initially attributed the sound to a mountain lion, but acquaintances who hunt mountain lions did not recognize the described sound. Years later, after hearing a purported Bigfoot vocalization on television, the witness reconsidered the 1996 incident as possibly Bigfoot-related.
