Hunter reports unusual roars In South San Juan Mountains

In late September 2005 the witness was camped at Jacob's Hill and sitting by the fire when a loud throaty wailing roar lasting about 5-10 seconds came from timber between meadows. Coyotes in several nearby spots immediately began howling and yelping as if disturbed. The witness did not hear the sound again during that trip.

Possible vocalizations heard while motorists were taking a break at turnout near La Manga Pass

Four people stopped at a turnout on Highway 17 ascending toward La Manga Pass in the morning. After one person in the party gave a whoop, they heard three loud roar-like vocalizations with pauses between them. They saw no source and left quickly, later noting the sounds resembled an Ohio howl recording and acknowledging a human trick was possible.

4 August 1998 Conejos County, Colorado Class A #1350

Report of a field investigation over several days

Three researchers camped in a remote timbered drainage in early August 1998 to study suspected sasquatch activity. Over two afternoons they heard loud primate-like calls and screams around camp, and during two nights they heard conversational vocalizations, rhythmic rock-clicking, and stealthy footfalls that alarmed horses. They also detected red eyeshine and later found a fresh animal bed overlooking the camp. They left early, concluding no conclusive evidence was obtained but the area warranted further investigation.
