A man is woken by a whoop near his home and a few months later sees an upright creature run past his barn

In November 2004 the witness was talking on the phone in the kitchen at night when he saw a large bipedal animal run past the barn. The animal was illuminated by the yard light for two seconds or less at about fifty yards distance. He estimated its height by comparison to a six-foot barn door and described it as dark, furry, and stocky with no obvious neck. He searched the next day but found no tracks because the ground was frozen with no snow.

Possible vocalizations heard by campers near Lowman

A family was setting up camp at a remote site in the afternoon when loud high- and low-pitched screams were heard coming from nearby woods. The sounds seemed to come from different directions in turn and continued off and on for about 30 minutes. The reporting witness first wondered if people were playing by the river but later felt the sounds matched a presumed vocalization heard on a show.

1 June 2004 Bayfield, Archuleta County, Colorado Class B #9018

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.

Two mornings later he found a fresh green pine snapped at its base on the boulders near camp, which he inferred was pushed over by the animal that made the sounds.

He saw two tall, very wide-shouldered bipedal silhouettes stopped at the top of the trail to his campsite, with the second moving left as if to flank him. He found his handgun and flashlight and shone it toward the trail, but the figures were gone. He stayed in the tent, later concluded they were Bigfoot, and left the area that morning.
