Witness Accounts

In early November, the witness, an experienced ranch worker, was performing night watch duties at a ranch located approximately 40 miles from the nearest town, near the Wind River Range, Fremont County, Wyoming. The area was described as remote, characterized by vast open spaces and a quiet atmosphere typical of the Wyoming plains. On this particular night, the witness noted an unusual silence among the cattle, which were typically vocal. This silence led the witness to feel that something was amiss. While making rounds with a flashlight, the witness observed that the cattle had frozen in place, suggesting they were sensing a potential threat. At that moment, the witness heard a low, guttural sound that caused a visceral reaction of fear. The noise was distinctly different from the cries of coyotes or any known animal, imparting a sense of intelligence and awareness. The witness shone their flashlight towards the sound, revealing a towering figure, initially mistaken for a tree due to its stature. Upon further inspection, the witness realized that the figure was a massive creature, estimated to be between 7 to 8 feet tall and covered in matted fur. The creature's posture was noted as unnatural, with disproportionately long arms and a rigid stance. Its face appeared to be a disturbing blend of human-like features and animalistic traits, with glowing eyes that reflected the flashlight beam. The witness felt a primal instinct to flee, incapacitated by fear momentarily. The creature emitted another deep growl, seemingly assessing the witness, before taking a step forward. With adrenaline surging, the witness managed to retrieve their rifle but was hindered by trembling hands. A shot fired into the air failed to deter the creature, which continued to approach without showing any fear or concern for the weapon. Realizing the imminent danger, the witness fled back to the ranch house, hearing the heavy footsteps of the creature pursuing them. Upon reaching the safety of the house, the witness locked the door and anxiously waited for dawn to break. Throughout the night, they heard the creature circling the house, making scratching noises against the exterior. When morning arrived, the witness mustered the courage to step outside, where they discovered large, deep footprints in the dirt that led from the cattle field to the house and subsequently vanished into the nearby tree line. The witness reflected on the encounter, stating, “I don’t know what I saw that night, but it wasn't an animal; it wasn't something natural.” Following the harrowing event, the witness made the decision to leave the ranch and Wyoming altogether, expressing a belief that something ancient and dangerous resided in the wilderness, warning others to exercise caution when exploring rural areas. The entire experience left an indelible mark on the witness, fundamentally altering their perception of the Wyoming wilderness.
