Possible footprints found near Mackinaw River

The witness was building a house near the Mackinaw River and searching the disturbed mud for arrowheads. Beginning in late September, they noticed bare footprints in the mud larger than their own size 13 foot, including during cold weather. The follow-up clarified a total of three prints estimated at about 14 inches long and 6 inches wide without actual measurement, with photos too unclear to publish. The witness doubted anyone would walk barefoot in cold mud at a construction site.

Man has nighttime sighting of two bipedal creatures behind his home near Mannford

Two brothers witness an upright creature while at a cabin near Red Feather

Two people staying at a mountain cabin watched a large black upright animal move from near a river across a road and uphill toward an aspen grove over about two minutes, using binoculars for part of the observation.

Woman describes vivid early morning sighting just below Independence Pass

From beside the truck she watched a furry reddish figure stand upright, tip its head back as if sniffing, stare at her, then bend to pick up a small object and run bipedally across a meadow toward the treeline. She then drove away shaking and tearful, convinced it was not a bear.
