Family hears loud wood knocks at Deer Lakes outside Lake City

On June 12, 2021, the witness family stopped at Upper Mill Pond to fish and watched a moose and calves from their truck.

The witness considered people in the woods as possible but later interpreted the sounds as Bigfoot-related after hearing another knock that night at a stargazing stop.

Possible Sasquatch Photo (or Blobsquatch) from Storm Mountain, 10 miles NE of Estes Park

The witness and her husband were checking a friend's secluded cabin when they heard child-like hollering behind the cabin. The witness followed the sounds uphill while staying in radio contact, hearing limb-cracks like footsteps and feeling disoriented.

Later after charging her phone at the cabin, she examined the photo and perceived a figure standing behind a tree looking toward her.

Hunter experiences night-time rock-throwing and possible vocalizations while camping near Hartsel

Camper hears Sierra-type whoops and knocking near Lost Creek Wilderness, 35mi SW of Denver

The witness was camped with two children on a ridgeline near Tarryall Reservoir. On two consecutive nights the witness heard loud deep whooping calls, first from the valley below and then much closer to camp, with wood-on-wood-like banging the first night and coyotes falling silent. On the second night the witness left the tent with a rifle and light and heard something large and heavy crashing through timber with loud footsteps, then stood guard until morning and left early without telling the children.

After stopping to look with a flashlight, they heard two distinct whistles from the trees.

Possible vocalization frightens fisherman from campsite along Conejos River

The witness was camping alone with his dog in a tent in a remote mountain meadow area while on a fly-fishing trip. Late at night he woke and heard a single extremely loud, high-pitched scream-like howl lasting several seconds from a few hundred yards away across a canyon. Frightened by the sound, which he perceived as territorial, he abandoned his tent and gear and drove to a nearby town to sleep. He returned at daybreak, found no tracks, and later concluded the sound matched alleged sasquatch vocalizations after comparing it to known animal recordings.

The witness reported lifelong outdoor experience in Colorado and said the sound matched no known animal and caused a chill. No animal was seen.

Neither saw the source of the sounds or tracks, and they left the area feeling something large had stayed hidden nearby.

Sighting by three groundskeepers at Arrowhead Golfcourse around 8:30pm

Three coworkers riding in a golf cart while collecting flags passed within a few feet of a tall pale human-like figure beside the path near hole 13. They drove past, confirmed they had all seen something, and turned back; two of them saw it again peeking from behind the elevated tee box before it moved out of sight. They left, returned minutes later in an enclosed cart, and heard repeated creaking sounds nearby before leaving the area.

Notes from the Colorado BFRO Expedition

During a daytime hike up a drainage on 10 Sept, the witness stopped at an old hunting camp and heard two clear wood knocks about 150-200 yards away. After confirming by radio that no other participants were nearby or knocking, the witness knocked back and received an immediate two-knock reply from slightly farther away. Further knocks and whoops over about 30 minutes drew no additional replies, and no movement or odor was noticed. The witness then returned to camp and later revisited the area by ATV with others.

Possible camp stalking at Taylor Reservoir outside Aspen

The witness and his wife were bedded down in their pop-up camper at night when they heard lapping sounds and their skillet rattling outside. The witness opened the camper door expecting a bear and saw a large dark upright shape about forty feet away moving swiftly into the timber. The camper shook strongly as the animal left while nearby dogs barked. In the morning no tracks were found and they could not recreate the shaking.

Campers driven off mountain by unseen intruders

Three campers were around a late-night campfire when they heard repeated series of deep two-tone howls from hills to the north and south and a loud tree-impact sound. One source of howls moved from about 100 yards west to about 50 yards in the treeline, appearing to exchange calls with a distant source while crashing through brush toward camp. Alarmed, the group packed under guard and drove out, hearing the howls again from about a mile behind them. They later interpreted the incident as possibly involving three large communicating beings.

Family finds and hears compelling evidence near Leadville

A family hiking around a high-elevation lake above treeline near Leadville found footprint-like depressions in moss between glacial rocks and found additional depressions on further search.
