LOCATION:  Sante Fe, Torrance County, New Mexico USA
 

TERRAIN:    Wooded
 

OBSERVED:    I was in my Ranch house and I was washing dishes and I have a window in front of the sink.  I looked out and I saw this big hairy thing. I took my ShotGun and went out side then the thing ran away   I ran after it and I heard this howling noise.
 

ACTIVITIES OF WITNESS(ES):  Washing Dishes
 
 

DESCRIPTION OF CREATURE:  Big Ape like hairy creature, brown color.
 The face was covered with hair but I could see just a part of it.  I can't
describe it though, sorry.  It ran on two feet or kinda strided.
 
 

OTHER NOTES:  It was light outside, clear day.  It was in the front yard and I go to the ranch house for vacations and I usually hear howling but I think its dogs or something.
I didn't look for any tracks.
