Tracks in Colorado (2023)

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.

Odor in Colorado (2016)

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.

Hunter hears loud vocalization and is nearly trampled by a spooked Elk north of Burns

The witness and a relative were elk hunting and following two blood trails in a steep ravine at dusk. After a wounded bull ran past the witness, a very loud angry howl or growl came from the wooded hill below. The sound was described as far louder than an elk bugle and spooked horses in the area, and a strong foul odor was noted.

Hunters observe dark creature pounding rocks together

The witness and a relative were hunting elk when they followed a strong smell and clashing rock sounds to a ridge. They observed a large hair-covered animal squatting in a dry creek bed striking two rocks together while vocalizing, which then stood, leapt the creek, and ran upslope out of sight. They later collected two chipped rocks from the spot but found no tracks or hair.

Sasquatch sighting near Telluride, Colorado (1988)

The witness stopped in a boggy area after sundown to fill a canteen while bow hunting. He noticed a dark shaggy huddled shape nearby that later disappeared, then found small human-like tracks in mud and encountered a strong musky odor. The next morning he found space behind a boulder where something could have hidden. Looking back years later he interpreted the shape as several primates huddled together.

Family describes possible encounter at campsite in Grizzly Creek Canyon

The witness was camping with family in a canyon. At night around the campfire they smelled a strong foul odor, the dogs barked toward the darkness, and loud guttural vocalizations came from just outside the firelight two or three times. After a few minutes the smell faded and the dogs calmed. The next morning they found smashed grass behind a boulder near the tent.

Sasquatch sighting in Colorado

The witness spent a few days watching from a hill while the wind kept his scent away. He watched adult females keep young in trees, lay with babies, coo, pet them and release a sweet spiced-honey-like scent. When a distant holler sounded the group got up and moved away.
