This channel is dedicated to encounters with the elusive creature, Bigfoot. Some people that have had experiences, encounters and sightings with these creatures have a hard time talking about it, they get ridiculed, laughed at, occasionally even by family. Lynn Smyth, our professional narrator, will tell your story, just the way it happened, you can use your name, or not, the location it happened, or not, anything you want – it is your story.

My name is Shannon Morgan and welcome to Bigfoot Case Files my name is Rita Swift I live in Orange County California in 1945 my great-grandfather George told me a story about the time his train hit a large ape creature and bent the cow catcher on his train this was in the

1880s and he was the engineer on a train that ran along the borders of the US and Canada it was night and all of a sudden their train hit something and they stopped the train because the cow catcher was dragging on the tracks at first they thought it was a moose but

When they all got out with their lanterns they discovered a huge smelly ape hung up in the catcher they only had lanterns for light and they were in the forest basically in the middle of nowhere it took most of the crew to pick it up and lift it into an open flat car

They noticed it was struck structured differently from a gorilla or ape and it smelled so bad that the crew got the smell on them they left it in the flat car because it took at least 2 hours to straighten out the cow catcher good thing my great-grandfather was also a

Blacksmith they were at least 2 hours from the next Water Tower and station of sworts the breakan noticed Indians sneaking around in the forest but he thought they had disappeared when they were ready to go the crew checked their smelly passenger but he was gone they looked for tracks and decided the

Indians had dragged it away into the forest and across the stream they found the tracks and pieces of hair and of course the smell they washed up in the Stream and were honestly glad to get rid of it the smell had even remained in the flat car my great-grandfather took pieces of the

Hair back and gave it to a doctor that he knew in Michigan they had all decided that the creature had escaped from a circus or a sideshow great-grandfather thought it was at least 8 ft tall and weighed 500 lb it took six men to carry it off the

Tracks when my daughter was a student at California State University in 1986 I met a professor of anthropology the reason I was there was I donated Indonesian fighting swords to her department they were very old and had belonged to my late husband I just didn’t feel comfortable having them in my home

Anymore I noticed in her office she had information on the walls about Bigfoot I told her the story and she believed it and it was do M mented my great-grandfather said the ape had a different face than what he remembered of a gorilla he said the teeth were like

Humans but extremely wide and large the body hair was thick dark brown with light tipping and the eyes were large and dark he said they agreed it was a male because of its genitalia grandfather continued as a railroad engineer on the Colorado Wyoming line until he retired in

1925 he fought off Outlaws with his sick shooter from the cab I have a photo of him with the crew stopped in Eid Colorado with a large Cannon hole in the side of the engine this was in 1898 when some Outlaws on horses pulled up an old Confederate Cannon along the tracks and

Fired at the engine the crew chased them away but left the train damaged they were on their way to Durango carrying bank money from Denver grandfather would never tell stories that were not true he had originally come from Amish and Mercer but left to fight for the Union in the Civil War his

Father did not accept his decision and he never returned to Mercer he was born in 1845 and died in 1947 in claremount California on the 15th of July 1926 in Jackson County in Colorado the following was sent as a letter from a woman in Cheyenne Wyoming to investigator J Davis and transcribed

To this form with her consent this is a bafaro report I read in yesterday’s Denver Post about your encounter with a Bigfoot I am 66 years old and here’s a story that happened to my dad in 1926 my father was a hunter and a fisherman he always had binoculars with

Him as he liked to look at everything he was up around Walden Colorado and saw what he thought were two bears stalking an elk I don’t know if the elk was part of a herd or was cut off and was alone evidently did not know it was being

Stocked dad said he was a long way off he was on one side of a mountain and this was happening across a valley on the other side of another mountain in a partly open area there was Heavy timber in this part of the area when he got out his

Binoculars and started watching he still thought they were two bears until they started walking he said they were a brown color and quite large when they stood up and they started walking on two legs he watched them for about 5 minutes until they got into some heavy

Timber they did not stalk real close together they had the elk in the middle he said they were excellent stalkers and would even hide behind a tree for a while he said he didn’t know if they killed the elk or not but thought they probably did he was sure they were

Carnivores or they wouldn’t have been stalking in this manner the incident took place in the late afternoon there are very few people living in the area but who knows there still may be some Critters up there glad I’ve never run into one the way that you did the

Observation took place from a mountain side the creatures were seen in a valley at the foot of an opposing Mountain slope Mount Cameron Colorado June 1932 Mr William lamb had climbed Mount Cameron when he ran across giant tracks 17 in long and 4 to 6 in

Wide he later saw a fireball drop out of the sky and a transformation took place the fireball vanished Into Thin Air and there stood a creature 8 ft tall and looking much like the description of the abominal Snowman the creature took off after lamb who after several narrow escapes managed

To get away by jumping off a cliff into a pine tree that is how he managed to escape his pursuer lamb believes that this is the same breed as the abominal Snowman of the Himalayas in August 1962 near lions in Boulder County in Colorado I grew up in Boulder County my

Parents quit farming and moved to Long Mount in 1960 during the summer we would go up to Big Thompson Canyon or the St vain to camp and picnic in the summer of 1964 we were picnicking along the St Vin stream we had started a campfire you

Could do that then and while I was looking for wood I felt like I was being stared at I looked up and at the top of a sheer rock wall about 30 ft up I saw him I can see him like yesterday he was

Looking at me and as soon as I saw him he turned and left he was very large probably 8 ft tall and had long graying hair his face was darker and did almost look human no one believed me of course but I can still see his eyes looking at

Me before he turned so I’ve always believed in their existence it was about 1:00 p.m. on a sunny Bright Day in August 1964 near Long’s Lake in Gunnison County I was bow hunting with my wife Joyce I pulled off the road and parked my Jeep it was the middle of the

Afternoon as we were walking up in the timber we kept hearing things behind us I knew it was big because of the noises that we were hearing we would walk and it would start walking and it would stop whenever we did I never saw it but we

Knew it was there we were walking very softly and I saw an ear flicker I drew my bow and the deer stood up it was a fourpoint buck it was about 50 ft in front of us when I shot and I hit the deer it fell immediately whatever was

Behind us leted out a loud shrill deepthroated dragged out chirp I cannot explain it as I never had and have never since heard anything like it I have spent my whole life in the mountains of Colorado and I think I have heard just about everything but this was new it

Made the hair on the back of my neck stand up I knew it wasn’t a bear because I know a bear is not capable of that noise the deer stood up and kept going down the hill to the right we followed the deer and the thing behind us kept

Following thrashing the brush all the way it sounded like it was breaking over trees it was ticked off because I shot the deer I never saw it because it wouldn’t come out of the trees we decided to forget about the deer and high tailed it out of there as fast as

We could I haven’t went back in those trees since we were riding in my Jeep prior to the incident after this happened we stopped in at Jack’s kico on the corner of Main Street at the time Jack had the world record elk rack hanging in the station I asked the attendant if there

Were any Bigfoot sightings in the area he told me yes and they were pretty common I told him my story and he replied I believe you it was about 1:00 in the afternoon and a beautiful sunny day on October 15th 1970 four miles Southwest of Walton Creek Campgrounds after an unsuccessful day

Elk hunting track of many miles around the heavy timbered area near the rabbit ears pass region my Uncle Bill cousin Charles and myself decided to call it a day and head back to our camp in the Walton Creek Campgrounds about 4 miles south of our camp as we were talking softly together

While we walked a loud crashing noise behind us came to our attention my uncle an experienced Hunter and Woodsman of many years replied that it sounded like we had spooked a large bull elk having accustomed ourselves to the area over the last few days we knew that a deep

Canyon running through that location about 300 yard in the direction that the animal was moving would slow it down thinking that we could possibly get a fair shot as it crossed this Canyon below us the three of us started in Pursuit the animal was obviously spooked and running as the sounds of its

Progress through the dense Aspen trees and Pines ahead were easy to hear after the laborous and exhausted Chase through the heavy Timber the three of us broke out upon the Canyon’s Edge expecting to see the bull elk crossing the canyon bottom below us the canyon in mention runs in a southwesterly direction dry

Bottomed and is sparsely treat due to its steep sides it is approximately 100 yards deep narrow sided and about 50 yards across the bottom with heavy brush averaging 3 to 4 ft High trying to catch our breath we were amazed that there was no elk in sight below us running across

The bottom after a few seconds I was alerted to the sound of rolling rocks across the Canyon from me as I looked up horizontally and directly across the Canyon from me I spotted what I at first believed to be a very large black bear running up the steep-sided

Canyon the opposite Canyon Rim was slightly higher than the side upon which we stood the distance was approximately 200 yard startled I called out to everyone’s attention the animal’s location raising my rifle to view the animal through my rifle scope after losing a second or two while

I located the animal in my scope I was stunned this creature was running up the Steep Hill on 2 feet it was covered completely in what appeared to be matted Shaggy coarse black hair the full back shoulders butt and legs were turned to me the back of the head appeared to be

Hunched slightly forward and without any apparent neck the back of the head was round sculled with no Dome shape visible through the scope I did not see the arms or hands as they were directly in front of the creature and blocked from my view by its body after after later reflection

I believed that this creature was using brush and limbs in its path to help pull itself up the incline after about 10 seconds the animal reached the top of the opposite Canyon without pausing I saw the creature turn slightly at the hips presenting its right shoulder to me

And Pier sideways across at us as it disappeared through the trees I clearly observed the facial features through the scope the face was flat small mouthed and thin lipped the nose was flat with large nostril flares the eyes appeared to be intelligent what I would call a knowing look black

Slightly wide apart and set below a low brow Ridge the face seemed to be lighter in color possibly tan or light brown and hairless with a leathery appearance the sighting was about 10 seconds or less after a moment of startled silence the three of us compared notes about what we saw and

Discussed our options about what to do all three of us immediately decided against trying to follow it one it was late in the day and its Trail ran in a direction away from our camp two even though all three of us were armed with high caliber rifles none of us believed

That we wanted to get too close to this animal three all three of us were experienced Hunters we knew that we could not shoot whatever it was in any case as it was too close in resemblance to a human and we did not kill anything unless it was for food however we were

Excited about seeing a creature that none of us had ever seen before and decided to backtrack it towards our camp area in order to get a better idea about what we had seen as the creature’s Trail was easy to find due to torn brush and tree liims in

Its passage we followed it for about 3 miles to where it emerged out of the forest Crossing US Highway 40 where it continued back into the forest on the other side due to the lateness of the day and exhaustion we abandoned the trail and returned via the highway way

Back to Camp it was apparent that we had startled the animal about 350 yard north of the canyon where we had skirted a wide patch of brush we had passed within a few yards of this creature as our own tracks were clearly visible after examining the area closely the following

Day it became obvious that this animal had been taking its time wandering around through the thicket foraging for service berries acorns and wild currants we believed the animal had become aware of our approach and had laid down in the brush waiting for us to pass then in a

State of panic had fled the area in great haste all along the creatures path from this Thicket to the canyon brush and large tree branches had been disrupted by a great deal of mass and fours judging from the 3 to 4 in thick tree limbs 7 to 8 ft above the ground

The creature stood approximately 7 and 1/2 to 8 ft tall which coincided with our Judgment at the time of the sighting the ground throughout the area was covered in fall leaves and pine needles or else Frozen and rock covered leaving a poor surface for track Impressions however in several wash out

Areas the creature had left a few clear enough scattered tracks for us to get a measurement for the most part the animal appeared to have traveled in a Wandering action leaving tracks of 15 and 3/4 in from one impression it was discovered that the creature was missing the little

Toe from its left foot it was just judged by my uncle an experienced game tracker 40 years that the creature had weighed upwards of 350 lb once the creature had taken flight it had traveled rapidly with over 7ot strides oblivious to obstructions crashing directly through brush and trees at one

Point the creature had hurdled a Fallen Tree about 4T off the ground apparently without breaking stride leaving a deep impression in the torn soil upon landing on the other side no hair strands or scat signs were found the following day a report was made to a Colorado State

Game officer checking hunters in the area for licenses and game kills the officer seemed skeptical at most and unwilling to check out the physical evidence in his professional opinion it was only a bear and possibly a combination of hunting nerves he also warned us about the use of alcohol while

Accompanied by Firearms needless to say we were offended by the way the report was received and by the accompanied remarks in the final analysis the three Witnesses concluded a the animal had definitely not been a bear or any other animal that they were familiar with B the creature stood approximately 7 and

1/2 to 8 ft tall and weighed about 350 lb see the creature had been bipedal it was a low cloud cover day with good light and unlimited visibility in September 1971 about 15 miles to Granite Colorado I was very young at the time I was with eight of my cousins and we

Decided to climb the hill at the North End of the reservoir to get a better view of the area there were nine of us ranging in age from 9 to 14 years old when we reached the top of the hill we started rolling rocks down the hill it was then

That we noticed right across the Ravine from where we stood a tremendous amount of crash ing through the Aspens at first we thought it was a grizzly bear since it stood on its hind legs watching us from a distance of about 300 ft its hair was golden brown in color

And very long it was very tall at least 8 ft it just stood there on two legs looking straight at us we could not see its face the sun was at its back and its face was in a silhouette but I could tell that the face was very dark the

Head and body were large but not built like a bear we stood and watched this animal and it watched us for several minutes it stood on two legs at all times and sometimes it rocked back and forth at that time I assumed that this was

Because it wanted to get our scent or to get a better view we then decided that we had to run for it we came down the hill at break neck speed and were scolded by our parents who thought we could have broken a leg running down the

Hill so fast my parents claimed that it was a bear but I have been hunting and fishing these mountains for 30 years now I have never seen a grizzly bear in this part of the state I have seen grizzly bears before and their fur is brown and

The color of the fur on this animal was unlike anything I have seen again it was very long and golden in color to this day me and my cousin swear that we saw Bigfoot during summer 1971 in the Roosevelt National Forest I saw some very large footprints

In the snow in the summer high in the Colorado Wilderness Area these prints were at least half again as big as a big human foot and the stride length was much longer than any human at least 4 foot or longer they looked exactly like human prints they were not bare I

Recognized those they proceeded across several small remaining snow patches on a Mountainside Meadow there were about a dozen or more clear prints I saw none on the the ground between the snow the ground was firm and damp I saw no other suggestive evidence but I wasn’t

Searching for any I was scared and I wanted to get out of their ASAP I wondered if they may have been human and had enlarged and spread out by the heating melting Cooling and refreezing that occurs at the time of the year in the little snow patches but

The detail was fairly preserved and one would think that the melting and refreezing would blur those details the possibility of this should be examined someone should walk through the summer snow patches Barefoot and then observe the prince for a number of days during the summer when the Melt and

Refreeze process occurs if the enlarging of the prints and spreading of the stride does not occur I assume these prints I saw were not human if they do spread out maybe someone just walked through their Barefoot I wondered if they were a hoax but the area was pretty remote and the

Perpetrator would have had to know someone who would pass that exact spot I don’t remember if we were on an established Trail or just wandering near our campsite also if it was a hoax why would they put the prince in the snow since one could not predict exactly when

It would melt in the unpredictable summer weather I have no interest in this existance of the Sasquatch but as a scientist I am curious having seen those prints with my own eyes I definitely believe it is possible there were two friends with me and they saw the same

Thing I am now 46 years old and was in high school at the time the Witnesses were myself a friend who later became a Navy pilot and his girlfriend’s brother whose name I don’t remember it was mid-afternoon mild and partly cloudy in an Alpine Meadow on October 1st 1971 near

Sugarloaf Mountain in Boulder County in Colorado this incident occurred after my husband myself and our three children had moved up to some land purchased on Sugarloaf Mountain West of Boulder my husband managed a Tavern at the time and had purchased the 5 acre silver mining

Claim for a song at a bar on a paper napkin we built a tiny 12×16 cabin and squeezed ourselves in there on the South Side of the Mountain about 2/3 the way of the original Little mining Road the cabin was on the only level land on a heavily treed and rocked parcel the

North side of the cabin snug right up against the mountain slope with pine trees all around that side was two plywood sections High which would have put it a hair over 16t we had an oversized plywood platform bunk bed on the northeast corner of the cabin with we adults and our baby

Daughter on the first level and the two boys on the upper level we put a little window up there for them for air and put an outside shutter on it so they could close it when it got really cold which it sometimes did it reached 40 below the

First first winter that we were there I think it was during the second Autumn there so it would have been 1971 or then 5 and 1/2-year-old Son claimed that he heard the sound of footsteps in the early evening after hearing a really strange sound definitely animal but he had no words at

That age to describe it he said it sounded like a call of some sort and bigger than an owl some kind of hooting maybe then he heard some noises close by rustlings when he looked up through the Open Shutter window he said he looked right in the face of a

Monster all I know for sure is that I’ll certainly never forget his terrified screams when he calmed down he described it as dark and very hairy and had a funny face with glowing eyes it turned and ran away as soon as he started screaming his brother 2 years older

Slept through the incident until his brother’s shrieks woke us all with the ground sharply slanted up we figured something would have had to have been just about 7 to 8 ft tall to appear into that window not being trained trackers we found no evidence the next day but

Our son who is now almost 35 swears to this day that it was Bigfoot that he saw and I have always believed him since there was no way in the world that at his age he could have made that precise and auditory and visual image in his

Terror he came over and visited us this morning and reiterated his story he says the image has never left him and probably never will it was night probably a good moon or else he wouldn’t have seen anything I don’t think there was snow it was Pine Forest some rock

Formations in April 1972 in Lost Creek Wilderness Area in Park County in Colorado the creature was near a pond initially bent over he caught sight of us after about 45 seconds of us looking at him at first we thought it was a bear but when he stood up erect and looked at

Us we knew that this was not a bear I don’t think I have ever felt fear like that day it has been 28 years and I still remember it like it was yesterday I was a student at the University of Denver at the time and we told everyone

At school about the incident the next two weekends we took several photographers up to the Lost Creek and walked over the area but found nothing my girlfriend at the time was with me we later got married for 13 years but because our parting was as ugly as it

Gets I’m not comfortable publishing her name here we were just hiking the area having spent the weekend backpacking and camping in the Lost Creek area a few years ago I saw Unsolved Mysteries with Robert Stack and they did a segment on Bigfoot sightings in the Lost Creek area

The incident occurred early on a Sunday morning at about 10:00 a.m. perfect weather not a cloud in the sky very sunny Lost Creek is a Wilderness Area in Midsouth Central Colorado many large rock formations and pine Birch Forest make up the landscape in Fall of 1972 in Weld County just west of gy

Colorado I was riding in a car full of fellow teenagers out in the country just laughing talking and goofing around it was a moonlit night and we were foolishly driving without headlights sometimes stopping and then continuing on with or without the headlights the car was quite full with perhaps six

People total in the car three of which were in the front seat I was sitting in the passenger seat nearest the door and I remember having very little room to move at one point we were driving very slowly with the headlights off and the driver suddenly turned the headlights on

I can’t remember now if we had seen something or had just randomly turned the headlights on but as he did those of us in the front seat saw a huge Beast coming up and out of a dry irrigation ditch this was one of those big ditches

About 6 or 7 feet deep and perhaps 10 ft wide the creature was slightly in front of us and to the right of the car about 20 ft off the road we were immediately stunned mainly because we thought we were all alone out in the country and so

The driver hit the gas and we sped away I don’t think anyone got a very good look at it except me due to the fact that I was pinned against the passenger door and window I was so scared but continued to look as we passed by what I saw scared me beyond

Belief it appeared to be a huge man with dark hair covering its body and with a leathery face we had obviously startled it too because it Stood Still its eyes wide and its mouth open almost as if it was growling or Screaming I could not see what it did once we had passed

Discussion in the car afterward included talk of a werewolf or some horror film creature or perhaps of a man dressed in a gorilla-like suit this did not look like a costume to me and if it was the man underneath was very large though I can’t make any estimates

On just how tall at the time we had not heard of Sasquatch or if anyone had it was not mentioned as a possibility I only report this incident upon the urging of a friend who has become interested in tracking Bigfoot sightings in Colorado I personally dismissed the event as unexplained

Though I did not feel it was a hoax we were doing what teenagers do when they first get their driver’s licenses driving around and acting silly no alcohol or drugs were involved the terrain was typical Weld County terrain with Rolling Hills covered with prairie grasses and Sage Brush there were

Scattered clumps of cottonwood trees and brush in red Creek Road in PUO County in Colorado on May 15th 1973 two boys were plinking with an air rifle one evening and gradually became aware in the fading light of two huge red eyes staring at them they looked like bicycle reflectors one of the boys

Shot at the eyes with the air rifle the next thing that they knew both boys had been picked up and dumped into a nearby Ravine by an unknown force a large wooden fence post came out of the ground and struck one of the boys in the head

Thoroughly cowed at the pair headed for their truck where they found that they had lost the ignition keys they scampered back towards the road attempting to hitchhike towards boula they found that every time they headed west on the road an entity that resembled a mobile hay stack with two

Large red eyes would materialize and heard them away from the canyon where they had started their Adventure there are old Tales of a resident Critter called The woi Man in the area in 1974 in Jefferson County in Colorado I grew up in the state of Colorado most of my childhood and

Teenage years were spent Outdoors Small Town Country Boy fishing camping hiking and dirt biking was in for me like Nintendo is to kids these days at the time I had never heard of a North American Bigfoot sure I had heard of the Yeti but he was on the other side of the

World in 1974 my folks moved out of Denver to a small community in Indian Hills located west of the Denver Foothills that summer my brother’s new dog and I did a lot of hiking together on one of our hikes between Indian Hills and kitridge located in Jefferson County

The dog which was chained around my wrist took off for a large patch of heavy brush growing alongside a small stream since I was attached to the dog by the chain I had no other choice than to go where the dog was taking me as the dog was lunging through the brush his

His chain somehow was caught in it and it slowed him down the dog became so wrapped up in the brush that it finally stopped him before we were able to make it through to the other side I remember even though the dog was stopped he was still pulling so hard that he couldn’t

Even breathe only a few grunts came out of him while he was strangling himself the dog was determined to get through this brush and I now had enough slack in the chain to go through on my own I just had to see what this dog wanted as I

Pushed the last of the brush back so I could see through it I saw a large figure with long light brown hair it was standing in the Stream as water was dripping from the hair on its arms whatever it was it scared me it scared

Me so bad that when I was running out of the brush I literally tore the dog out of the bushes with me with superhuman strength and in a panic I ordered my brothers to get up to the nearest tree once all of us were up

In the tree we hoisted the dog up by his chain that nearly killed him too but I was not taking another spin through the brush after being in the tree for quite a while we came down I have no idea which way the hairy thing went but it

Didn’t come out our way then and to this day I cannot remember what this thing’s face looked like I know I saw it I clearly remember seeing over the top of its head in summer 1975 in Lake County in Colorado I lived for about 7 years in

Leadville back in the 1970s and that town has a long history of Bigfoot reports while living there I was involved in several related situations one of my foster sons was employed for a time with the US Forest Service working in the sign maintenance shop they had quite a rash of forest

Service signs being ripped down if you were familiar with the signs they use they are constructed of massive Timbers and quite sturdy some of the signs were over 8 feet off the ground to the top yet they had been torn down with apparent ease at first they suspected

Local teenagers or possibly bears as being responsible to make it more difficult for the vandals the forest service put a thick layer of Grease along the top of some signs within days one of the signs was again vandalized the grease on the top of the damaged sign showed a human-like

Handprint a few weeks later we decided to go on a late night cruise in the area where the damage had taken place just a m or two below turquoise Lake West of Leadville the dirt road we followed had a steep drop off to a stream on the left

To the right was a large open Sagebrush Meadow with thick Timber behind a large Boulder at least 15 ft tall was in the middle of the meadow we had stopped on the road above the stream and were visiting when we heard something sloshing in the water below our vehicle

When we trained a spotlight on the area the sloshing stopped only to start again when the light was turned off a few few minutes later we spotted a large figure run across the road about a 100 yards in front of our headlights we also heard heavy footsteps crushing The Sage Brush

We immediately drove to the spot where we had seen the creature and checked for Footprints none were found but a trail of smashed Sage Brush LED towards the tree line we spung the spotlight around the area just in time to catch a glimpse of a dark primate about 7 to 8 ft tall

Cross in front of the Boulder and disappear into the dense forest behind the meadow I don’t remember any particulars but believe the incidents occurred during the summer of 1975 probably July or August and time was sometime around 10: p.m. in October 1975 in Logan County Colorado two young women reported that

They had shot at a hairy humanoid that had entered their lot the thing then ran off broken branches were found at the site in uray in uray county in Colorado on the 4th of July 1976 and the 5th of July 1976 Mr Hines good a tourist from

Germany was hiking in the mountains when he saw a Bigfoot that walked away the next day hin saw another Bigfoot while trout fishing and tried to photograph it but it also went away they are notoriously camera shy on the 1st of May 1977 north of montro

On the Old Airport Road in montro County the witness 38 who requested confidentiality was a young teen in junior high school at the time of the incident witness who will be called Jeff said he and his friend were alone at his parents house one night when the friend since deceased noticed something looking

Into his house through the front door since the friend was always a kider Jeff just looked outside to call his friends Bluff but sure enough there was a head looking at us he said since it was dark few details were visible but he described it as like

A coconut we freaked out so we ran into Mom’s bedroom and grabbed the 22 and loaded it with bullets I told my friend to go lock the door but he said no way so we ran into the bedroom which at the time didn’t have curtains soon we heard

It breathing and kind of scratching at the window and we saw a hand up against the screen I would say it had to have been 8 to 10 ft tall to be looking in like that the witness stated at the time he could see the animal looking in the window he

Described it as large hairy and black my friend fired two shots at it but missed it took off running and we didn’t see it after that they then called the sheriff who came to investigate and found the two bullet holes in the window but no blood

And no footprints on the hard ground the sheriff asked if we had been drinking but we both were aspiring wrestlers Jeff said neither of them drank nor used drugs Jeff’s brother who initially contacted the BFRO said that when he and his parents came home his brother and

Friend appeared to be scared to death the brother also said the impression of a large hand could be seen on the window screen they also noticed heavy breathing and a hairy hand scratching at the screen window it was at night time about 9:30 p.m. on a very cool night Jeff also

Recounted a second incident which occurred in the same general area but at a different date he and the same friend were walking into town one night when they discerned a large dark figure on the road in front of them at first he thought it was a cow but then they

Realized it was tall upright and had a human-like form it was standing about 8 or 10 ft high like before he said the two immediately turned and ran for home Jeff said he didn’t think the animal followed them on July 4th 1977 below the tree line on the west side of Pikes Peak

Looking towards the North in the direction of horse thief park near Creek in Teller County in the summer of 1977 my brother and I had ridden up to the top of Pike’s Peak on the Cog Railway we made it to the top around noon ate at the snack bar

Bar and headed down the west side with our backpacks for a few days of fishing the High Country streams and beaver ponds we picked our way down the steep slope and reached the tree line about an hour later as we hiked through an opening we noticed something about half

A mile away in a large Meadow at first I thought it was two people walking down the sloping Hillside one above the other when we pulled up our binoculars we realized that it was an unusually tall dark hairy creature with exceptionally long arms and a very long stride we

Watched it move downhill into the trees in approximately 10 to 15 seconds we were both stunned and couldn’t believe what we had seen neither of us thought to pull a camera out of our packs it happened so fast after we got over the initial shock we went down to a small

Lake set up camp and spent an uneventful night we hiked on down for the next 2 days fishing and camping without any further sightings we never did hear any sounds from the creature and it didn’t appear to be the least bit concerned by our activity I’ve hiked hunted and

Fished in the area for 30 years and have never seen anything remotely resembling what we saw that day my brother witnessed the incident although the last time I brought it up he said he didn’t remember it happening I think he’s embarrassed by it and doesn’t want anyone to think he’s nuts I remember

Hearing about someone on the northeast side of Pike’s Peak having trouble with something at night that left large footprints in the snow around the same period I think that was reported on Unsolved Mysteries I have since read several stories about other people having similar experiences in the general

Area it was a typical sunny summer day early afternoon calm with no rain showers during summer 1978 in Frank town in Douglas County in Colorado another summer’s day around the year 1978 a few friends and I one brother to were out dirt bike riding in the wooded

Flats between Parker and Frank town I believe the pioner occupies this portion of land now anyways we came across a site that I’ll never forget we came across several shredded dogs in the middle of the forest these poor dogs were pulled limb by limb and one was

Wrapped around a tree at that time we had no idea what what or who could do a thing like this ranchers shoot stray dogs they don’t pull them apart like they are caught in candy from reading about Bigfoot online I understand that the Bigfoot does not like dogs whatever

Did that to those dogs sure didn’t like them very much the same summer one evening in early August we the family were watching the regular Friday night TV shows it was hot out so all the doors were open in the house all of a sudden something from across the road in the

Pasture let out the most bone chilling whale I had ever heard in my life as loud as it sounded I would have sworn it was in our own front yard recently I have heard similar sounds but not exact sound on the internet downloads my dad flew around the house

Shutting and locking the doors we had never heard anything like that before so it scared us all the same year but early in the fall I saw the upper half of a large figure slightly hunched over peering at me through the the trees from some distance away I could not make out

Any details other than its long hair I was in the west looking East the sun Shone vividly through some of the longer hair on the outer body this was especially true to what looked like longer hair off its arms even though my house was closer to me than it was I

Remember spending many long minutes contemplating on what to do all of a sudden this thing took off towards the neighbors my school bus was on its way down the dirt road it must have scared it years later my boss said he turned on his porch light to see a similar sight

Moving off towards the nearby Forest during September 1978 in Jefferson County in Colorado my former husband and I had taken our children for a picnic at Wellington Lake just south of Buffalo Creek what I saw was not the same as what I’ve seen in photos however

What I saw was a bipedal creature with with white fur this may sound strange but I was talking with my former husband when the creature stepped out from behind a boulder I told my now ex-husband to look he turned around but the creature ducked back behind the

Boulder my husband turned back to me and said I don’t see anything at that very moment the creature showed itself to me again I told him to turn around he did and the creature duck behind the boulder again this happened four or five times and then the creature was gone

This creature was partially bipedal and then would stoop like an ape and touch the ground it had human-like feeling about it because it was obviously playing some sort of a game with me I have never told anyone except for people I trust because I don’t want to get made

Fun of I was a resident in the area for many years and I knew what Wildlife was there nothing even came close to this creature I’ve seen mountain lion Bobcats links Badgers deer elk bear and many more creatures in that area but nothing like this the creature was very quiet

Light on his or her feet and was not as large as a Bigfoot and the fur was Pure White like a polar bear I didn’t really get a Clear Vision of its face this was not a polar bear though we live in Colorado and there’s only black bears in

Addition the creature was obviously clever and had a sense of humor and intelligence that was humanlike again it was not incredibly tall maybe 5’9 or so it wasn’t a person playing a prank either it was too agile and way too fast and that area is Wilderness it would be

Very difficult for a human to Scamper around so quickly over Boulders and up the mountains I was the only witness unfortunately I am perfectly sane and I am educated with a master’s degree in education instructional technology I am the type of person that has my feet set

Directly onto the Earth in other words I don’t believe in anything I can’t see not even God I don’t take drugs and I didn’t take take any drugs then either nor did I drink alcohol I would like to know if anyone else had seen this creature or a

Creature similar to it I was too embarrassed to mention the incident to Cowboy types in that area I’ve always wanted to know what I have witnessed but I am too afraid to mention it because it’s different than the photos I’ve seen of Bigfoot it was afternoon maybe 2:00 p.m. or 300

P.m. 18th of October cir 1978 near Steamboat Springs in root County at the time I was a resident of Steamboat Springs each elk season we would put up an elk Camp about 15 miles horseback only Northwest of Strawberry Park in the mount zerko Wilderness Area on the opening morning we were kept

In Camp by rather heavy wet snow that did not stop until around 10:00 a.m. at which time the sun came out and we saddled up our horses to take a quick look for Elk tracks intend in to return to camp for a quick lunch on my return to Camp I cut a set

Of tracks that looked like a big Barefoot person had passed by the tracks were about 12 to 13 in long with only four Toes that I could see I returned to camp and brought the camp cook back to look at them since they crossed the creek only 100 yards from our tents I

Decided to follow the tracks and I found where the creature had stood on the other side of the creek Milling about as if trying to decide where to go the tracks LED uphill through the black Timber which I followed for about half an hour the tracks had begun to interest

My horse a great deal he kept sniffing the tracks and became more and more skittish until in an area of several big blowdowns he refused to go any further and began to show signs of panic which of course was transmitted to me I took a hard left into a big Avalanche area

Which I followed for about 300 or 400 yards the black Timber which I had just left began to turn into Aspens so I cut back hoping to reacquire the track whatever it was it was still on the black Timber spruce trees and I didn’t

Have much heart to go in and look end of story I am an experienced Woodsman have spent lots of time in the High Country on Horseback had a pack of plot hounds for bear hunting and had never encountered any tracks like these and the horse in question I had was a great

Mountain horse was not gun-shy or spooky in any way his skittish Behavior was the biggest reason I gave up on the hunt on the tracks he lived to be 40 years old and was with me from the time he was 9 months old the only other Witnesses were

Just the camp cook my wife there is a local legend about a Bigfoot encounter in an area called California Park which is Northwest of Steamboat Springs this story was related to me by the root County Sheriff who investigated the incident it was around noon Clear Blue Sky after a morning snowstorm in a

Typical Colorado High Country with open Parks Aspens and black Timber quite mountainous of course if you’ve had an encounter or sighting of a Sasquatch and would like your story told here please email us at Bigfoot Case Files mail.com we look forward to hearing from you thank you for listening
