In the headlights a large black biped ran from the north side of the road across in front of the vehicle and up an incline to the south.

The witness stated it did not look like a known four-legged animal and was left frightened.
Daylight sighting by hikers near Lake Fork, off the Conejos River.
From an overlook the witness watched three hikers with a dog on the trail below through binoculars and noticed a large black bipedal figure moving ahead of them through the adjacent meadow. The figure moved much faster than the hikers, away from them, jumped the creek, and disappeared into trees on the far side of the valley after about five minutes. The witness judged it much larger than a man and stated it was not a bear, and believed the hikers never saw it.

The witness was camping and was awake in a sleeping bag in the early morning when extremely loud, bellowing two-part vocalizations were heard.

Two hunters recount late morning sighting near Hotchkiss
While hunting deer, the witness and companions stopped on a road overlooking a slope and watched several upright jet-black creatures for several minutes with the naked eye and optics.

In early June 1994 the witness was fishing with two young companions at a beaver pond when an extremely loud gravelly two-toned scream was heard three times from a forested slope about 150 to 200 yards away.

Hikers observe animal in early evening near Blanca Peak
Two companions lagging behind a larger hiking group returning from a mountain lake saw a tall light-grey figure leap between trees about 30-60 yards away. The figure showed clearly visible arms and legs, moved very quickly and made no sound.

Rain that night prevented any follow-up search for tracks.

The witness and a relative were hunting elk when they followed a strong smell and clashing rock sounds to a ridge.

They later collected two chipped rocks from the spot but found no tracks or hair.
