The witness reports a large hairy thing that walks along the San Juan River onto the reservation and is known to local residents. The thing is said to smell strongly, make loud noises that set dogs howling, and appear every few years near the witness home about an eighth-mile from the river. Residents avoid going down to the river because of its presence.
Sounds heard answered by another more distant source
The witness reports hearing loud cries from west of the home over a period from early 1996 to mid-1998, always late at night. Each cry was answered by a more distant cry, and on one night the sound was close enough to wake the witness from sleep. No visual encounter is described; the witness says the sounds matched recordings presented on a television program about Bigfoot investigation.
