From The Denver Post:
Is Bigfoot in Colorado?
A Wyoming couple thinks so after spotting what they believe to be the “ever-elusive creature” while they were riding the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad in southwest Colorado over the weekend.
Shannon and Stetson Parker were looking for elk during their Sunday train ride through the San Juan Mountains on the way to Durango from Silverton when Stetson saw what he thought could be Bigfoot.
“We were looking for elk in the mountains and my husband sees something moving and then can’t really explain it. So he’s like, ‘Bigfoot!’” Shannon told The New York Post. “It was at least six, seven feet or taller. It matched the sage in the mountains so much that he’s like camouflaged when crouching down.”
“Y’all, out of the hundreds of people on the train, three or four of us actually saw, as Stetson says in the video, the ever-elusive creature Bigfoot,” she wrote in the Facebook post. “I don’t know about y’all, but we believe.”
I think that this footage is compelling and the alleged Bigfoot in the footage does look similar to the one seen in the famous Roger Patterson footage shot in California in 1967. That being said, it could be a hoax. If someone did indeed try to pull a fast one they went to great lengths to pull it off. The object in the film is pretty far away from the train and the fur is the same color as the surrounding brush. Out of the hundred or so riders on the train that day only a handful even saw the creature. You would think that if you wanted to be intentionally seen you might make a costume that stood out and you might want to walk around closer to the rail line?
Right now I'm going to vote 60% real Bigfoot and 40% practical joker. - Ken
