Former Deputy Sheriff describes morning sighting on Cornwall Mountain

June 2009 about 7;00 in the morning Platoro, Conejos County, Colorado 1 witness

Account

The witness stopped while riding an ATV on a logging road in the early morning and heard two loud howls. Shortly after the second howl he saw a large dark shaggy human-like figure downslope with its hands around an aspen tree, leaning out and staring at him. After several minutes of remaining motionless the figure turned and walked away downhill, and the witness left the area.
