They remained on site afterward playing music and talking.

May 2012 Bailey, Park County, Colorado Class A #35596

Early evening sighting by two women hiking in Bailey

Two women on an evening hike heard a loud branch break and saw a large bipedal figure running parallel to them through the forest and down a hill. They watched it for several seconds as it moved very fast with long strides and a forward lean, making no running noise despite dry ground cover. Both described it as tall, bulky and covered in dark grey to black hair, concluding it matched a bigfoot and was not a human or common animal.

Humanoid figure spotted at night near Octagon Hall during paranormal investigation

When they tried to approach, the figure disappeared, and checking the tree revealed nothing to explain what they had seen.
