Two hikers were left stunned after encountering a frightening 20-foot-tall figure clinging to the side of a Colorado mountain. The lanky gray creature on camera.
Jessee Clauson, 29, and Camille Avarella, 28, were descending Longs Peak in the Rockies when they unwittingly caught the lanky gray creature on camera as it appeared to scale the crag.
The Denver-based duo didn't see the beast at the time of their trek on August 24 - but noticed it lurking in the backdrop of a photograph as they reminisced about the adventure weeks later.
'I was shocked to the bone when we were looking at the picture,' behavior analyst Clauson.
'We didn’t take the picture because we saw that thing - we just took it because the mountain range was pretty.’
Clauson said they set off on the intrepid walk at 2am to conquer the 14,000-foot crag by dusk the next day.
She said they had been walking for seven hours when they snapped the figure just after scaling the peak at around 9am.
'We were in full adrenaline mode so we weren’t really paying attention.' said Clauson.
Graphic designer Avarella explained that they were sharing the photographs with family on a plasma screen TV when they first noticed the creature.
They zoomed in after noticing an odd white coloration on the side of the crag.
'Camille’s dad said, “What the hell, that thing is at least 20 feet or so” and Camille was like, “Should we call the rangers?”’ Clauson recalled.
'We were all like: "What the hell is that?"'
‘It could be a rock,' Avarella added. ‘But it has all the features of something human.’
‘We are open to interpretations,' said Clauson.
‘It was so far away it couldn’t really do anything to us. I like to think it was an alien.’
‘The anatomy is so human-like, it’s freaky as hell,' added Avarella.
The duo said that although they're keen to see the creature again, they won't be embarking on the 15-hour trek ever again.
'I hope someone else does it and sees it,' Clauson said.
