July 2009 Red River, Taos County, New Mexico Class A #26460

Eight foot plus figure photographed peering into couple's RV near Red River

Early one morning while preparing to leave a campground, a couple noticed a large figure standing outside their trailer's bedroom window peering in. The privacy glass showed only a shadowy chest, head and part of an arm, which the companion photographed. When the witness opened a distant door and turned on a light, the figure was gone but quick footsteps were heard leaving down a gravel road. After sunrise they found large footprint-like impressions in the gravel near the trailer.

Man observes creature walking across road

The witness was driving home at night through a canyon pass when the headlights revealed a tall, big bipedal animal crossing the highway into a gully. The witness repositioned the vehicle to shine light into the gully but could not relocate it, hearing rocks rolling as it moved up. While standing in front of the truck the witness heard a very loud scream/roar described as gorilla-like but higher pitched, which prompted leaving the area immediately.

Pre-dawn screams on the Mescalero Reservation

About 20 years ago, the witness and a cousin were walking early in the morning toward the paved road to hitchhike to work.

With no nearby houses for refuge, they flagged down a passing truck and got in.
