Bigfoot Stands Up in Front of Two Women Animas Forks Ghost Town

Ginger C writes RMSO Wow, we literally just got back from Silverton , and camped right off of 550, in Mineral Creek campground. We've always liked that area, cuz it's loaded with 4 wheel passes. I've grown up hunting, 4 wheeling, and camping. When I was 11, and my mom was 40 (I'm 49 now ) , we were on Stony pass, at the other side of Silverton, up pass Animas Forks mining and ghost town. After topping the pass, I told dad that I need to find a tree. When we hit timberline, me and mom got out, and did our business. When we were zipping up, a bigfoot stood straight in front of me. I remained still, and quiet, as we gazed at each other. So much expression on its face, seemed so sweet, almost loving. My mom screamed, get, or go on, and it side stepped behind a pine, and we ran. Dad was on his way up, to see who mom was yelling at. But, it was long gone. I never thought they were in America, or even real. Loch Ness monster, bigfoot, all just made up I thought. But we knew instantly what we saw. No mistaking it for a bear. It stood about 20 feet from me, and looked so sad when mom screamed at it. I cherish that encounter, and so does my now 78 yr old mom. Not one day goes by, that I don't relive that event. I'm now open minded to anything.
