Daylight sighting by motorist along highway 149, ten miles SE of Lake City

Footsteps near Bailey, Colorado (2023)

That night the party climbed the same mountain and the witness sat apart while others settled. He heard quiet brushing movement circling his position, then a long loud howl rose from the valley, and on the descent the party reported being paced, green eyeshine, and a bright head behind rocks seen on thermal by several members. As the witness took the lead near a thicket he heard a close juvenile-like two-syllable vocalization but saw nothing with his light.

Months later the witness returned to the same mountain with his wife during the day. They smelled a strong dead-like odor near the vehicle that later vanished, found a single barefoot-like print and then a short trackway of similar-sized prints going downhill, plus game and predator tracks. Near some rocks they felt a sudden temperature drop and mist with an uneasy feeling and noticed the woods were silent before hiking out.

Family hears loud wood knocks at Deer Lakes outside Lake City

They heard an estimated 8-10 wood knocks from the west tree line from at least three different positions while vehicles came and went. The witness considered people in the woods as possible but later interpreted the sounds as Bigfoot-related after hearing another knock that night at a stargazing stop.

Possible Sasquatch Photo (or Blobsquatch) from Storm Mountain, 10 miles NE of Estes Park

The witness and her husband were checking a friend's secluded cabin when they heard child-like hollering behind the cabin. The witness followed the sounds uphill while staying in radio contact, hearing limb-cracks like footsteps and feeling disoriented. She photographed the rock outcropping where the sounds seemed to originate. Later after charging her phone at the cabin, she examined the photo and perceived a figure standing behind a tree looking toward her.

Cryptid sighting in Colorado (2019)

After poultry losses and a daylight yard sighting by his wife and mother of a tan long-legged tailless animal with pointy ears and a canine muzzle, the witness set a game camera that failed to capture expected animals. Days later he saw it watching from the rimrock and shot it with a .223. It knocked back, left blood and clawless cat-like tracks, then disappeared with no further killings.

Returning again that night without the wife, they heard a limb crack and a heavy thud as a rock landed by the buddy. A huge shouldered figure was seen behind the machine before they fled, later finding a high broken limb and a heavy rock.

Hiking family finds possible track off trail outside Estes Park

A family of four was hiking and identifying animal tracks in a forested mountain area when the husband found a single large footprint off the trail. The print was about 13.5 to 14 inches long and about half an inch deep, with possible toe impressions, and crossed perpendicular to the trail. The husband could not leave a comparable impression in the same vicinity. The family photographed the print with a boot for scale, felt uneasy, and continued on without seeing or hearing anything that could have made it.

He heard an unusually deep throat-clearing sound, then about 20 minutes later heard two rocks land near the tent with loud thuds.
