Leprechaun In The Woods Of Colorado

Location. Rock Creek Canyon, Colorado
Date: September 6 1989 Time: 10:00 a.m.
Bow hunter Juan Maestas was quietly stalking a herd of young elk uphill in a wooded area when he heard a twig snapping to his left, he froze in his tracks. He turned his eyes to look at the source of the noise and was stunned to see “a fat ugly little guy, about 3-feet tall,” who turned at the same instant and stared at him. The little man was about 50 feet away next to a tall pine tree. As they locked eyes, Maestas was able to discern the little man’s wrinkled forehead, clean-shaven face, and pink hued skin. He was wearing what appeared to be green overalls with suspenders and a flat-topped floppy hat. His hair was reddish, and was sticking out from underneath the cap. He had little eyes that seemed red and bloodshot. The little man sort of gave Maestas a smile and suddenly darted behind a tree. Maestas quickly ran to the spot but the little man had totally disappeared. Two weeks earlier, very close to this same location, a family of five on a picnic had witnessed the same or very similar entity that was also dressed in green overalls and hat.
