Woman describes night time sighting during childhood in the Pike National Forest

BFRO YEAR: Late 70's sometime after midnight but before daylight Teller County, Colorado 1 witness

Account

While camping and sleeping in a camper trailer with family and companions, the young witness awoke at night to loud heavy breathing outside her window and indistinct chatter-like sounds moving along the window. She pulled back the curtain and saw a dark-skinned partial face with brown eyes inches away staring in. The sounds stopped shortly after, and the next morning the adults found apples and potatoes missing from the back of the truck.
