Four witnesses in a vehicle see a probable sasquatch 1 mile north of Trinidad

The occupants were struck by its height, smoothness, and silhouette appearance without visible face or clothing lines, and afterward wondered if it had been a Bigfoot.

Woman sees a tall figure at night outside her home in a subdivision south of Leesburg

Around midnight the witness went outside to take trash to the street and saw a tall broad-shouldered silhouette with long hair standing above a 6-foot fence. She first thought it was a person or a trick of light but felt uneasy and went back inside after judging it too tall for a person. The next day she found nothing at the fence that could explain the shape, and her dog behaved unusually restless after being let outside.
