SAN JUAN COUNTY, Colo. — Colorado could be home to Sasquatch as a couple claims to have captured Bigfoot on camera in Colorado.
Video circulating on social media shows the mythological creature in broad daylight walking on the side of a mountain before sitting to rest.
Shannon and Stetson Parker, eyewitnesses to the possible sighting, told the "New York Post" they observed the creature while on the narrow gauge rail line between Durango and Silverton in southwest Colorado.
"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…if you asked before our trip we would have said maybe [Bigfoot] could be real, but now we’re convinced."
Shannon shared video of the one-to-two minute sighting in a Facebook post.
While many are skeptical that the spotted creature is Bigfoot, others say the video is confirmation that the myth is real.
Skeptics say the sighting could be a hunter in natural camouflage, or a prank on the train-traveling tourists.
