Colorado Springs, El Paso Cty, Colorado
1975
Account
John Lorch, apparently a young boy, wrote that while in his bedroom after breakfast one morning he heard an awful screech, looked out and saw a dark brown creature 7 or 8 feet tall, about 150 yards away, walking across the park towards a ditch which led to an area where there were tall grasses, streams and trees. His address is at Colorado Springs, which is a fairly big city.
