Footsteps near Bailey, Colorado (2023)

That night the party climbed the same mountain and the witness sat apart while others settled. He heard quiet brushing movement circling his position, then a long loud howl rose from the valley, and on the descent the party reported being paced, green eyeshine, and a bright head behind rocks seen on thermal by several members. As the witness took the lead near a thicket he heard a close juvenile-like two-syllable vocalization but saw nothing with his light.

Hikers are startled by unusual sounds in Staunton State Park

They searched the area a few minutes later but found nothing and heard nothing further.
