1 October 1994 Grays Harbor County, Washington Class A #958

Family find fresh, barefooted, humanlike footprints.

The witness and three companions drove to the top of a ridge where fresh snow covered the road. A companion spotted large fresh tracks with toes crossing the road and going down a steep draw. The men examined the tracks and noted their large size and long stride before leaving because a companion became upset. Months later they heard about helicopter-based searches in the area, which strengthened their belief the tracks were made by a bigfoot.

June 1994 Conejos County, Colorado Class A #1351

Various sightings by campers and ranchers along Lake Fork, a tributary of the Conejos River.

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. The witness judged the sound was not an elk or bear and left the area because the group was unarmed. The next morning the witness returned alone and found a line of very old large tracks but no definitive sign of the source.
