A motorist claims to have spotted a “nine-foot tall hairy critter” lurking close to woodland in Colorado and discovered a “bare footprint”.
Lori Bowling was driving through Hinsdale County with her husband Bill on July 28 and she was looking out of the window attempting to spot wildlife when she saw a massive creature emerge from the woods.
Lori submitted the sighting to the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO), writing: “What I saw was plain as day. Trust me when I say I am not a Bigfoot believer, but after what I saw I sure in the hell am now!
“It wasn’t a shadow, not a glimpse. I was looking out the window looking for deer, moose etc. when out stepped from the edge of the woods a BIGFOOT.
“I watched as he turned to the right and started to walk uphill along the edge of the woods. Its gait was a glide.
“The color was a dark blackish brown. The head was kind of moulded into the shoulders. The arms were long and very hairy. I would bet it stood seven-nine foot tall based on the size of the small spruce trees.
“I have never been stumped for words, but this was a numbing experience. I couldn’t get the words out to tell Bill to stop the truck and tell him what I saw.
“I saw this critter take four to five big gliding steps before it left my view due to the road curve.
“I want to tell everyone, but I think they will think I am nuts. I saw what I saw and now that’s all I think about. Kind of spooky and exciting all at once.”
Bill added his own statement revealing the couple went back to the place of the sighting, where they discovered a footprint which may have been made by the mysterious creature.
Bill explained: “We have never even thought about Bigfoot type creatures really existing and were skeptical about sightings. I have no doubt that Lori saw what she saw. I have never seen her react like she did. Amazed, speechless, excited and yet in her eyes she seemed a bit frightened …
“Lori had been looking down the slope for wildlife. Suddenly she turned to me and tried to speak but nothing came out. I thought she had seen Elk or Moose, but she finally said: ‘I just saw Bigfoot, stop the truck’.”
Bill added of their return to the sighting spot: “We walked the entire area. There were lots of deer and elk signs. There were no people tracks in the area as it is not an area with trails or any reason for people to walk there.
“We found only one footprint, a barefoot print. I took a picture of the print with my four and a quarter inch knife to show the size. Originally there were a couple of red (raspberry?) stems embedded in the track.
“Usually, plants will rise from the track in time particularly after a nice rainfall. This made me believe the print was somewhat recent.
“Although the print seemed small for the critter she described as about 7 or 9 feet tall. There was no reason for that print to be where it was …
” I never saw the creature, but she described how it looked and the way it moved. I later began looking up stories of other sightings and they were just a perfect match. I am as convinced as she is of what she saw.”
Bill added they returned to the site the following day and found another footprint. He wrote: “We found one possible footprint not much larger than the print from the day before. Are they really footprints? They seem to be.”
