Rockhound startled to find he's being observed

28 September 1998 about 6:00am Woodland Park, Douglas County, Colorado 1 witness

Account

The witness was looking for rocks in a forested area in the early morning and returned to the parked car to find the windshield wipers flipped outward. The witness then noticed a dark crouched mass at the tree line first taken for a bear. After getting into the car and slamming the door, the witness saw the figure stand about 7-8 feet tall and run away over a rock mound, then drove away.
