Open Map

I lived in Las Animas county, Colorado, with my mother and step-father in a canyon called San Miguel which is located along the Raton Range on the Colorado/New Mexico border. We lived in a very remote area. (Behind Fisher's Peak near Trinidad, CO) I used to have to get up real early to get to school. It was daybreak and our dog was outside barking hysterically. I had never heard her growl or act this way before or after this morning. She was looking into the canyon. I went to our kitchen window which faced the canyon. I could see something running into the canyon. It was on two legs, tall and covered in hair. It didn't run like a man, it ran as if it was straddling a small rut, side to side. I ran down the hall to my parents room to wake them up so they could see what I was seeing. When they got to the window it was gone; however, I saw it one last time as it passed between bushes.
