It was 1973, and two boys were playing in an arroyo (gulch or dry creek) in the Pueblo area of Colorado when they had an experience that they would never forget. They came across a creature that they would later nickname the ‘Wazooey Man’.They were playing with their air pistols when they noticed that they were being watched by ‘two huge red eyes’. Presumably shocked by the bizarre sight, one of the boys started firing BB pellets into the eyes - seemingly prompting them both to be picked up by an invisible force and thrown down into a ravine. A large wooden post came out of the ground and hit one of the boys on the head. Utterly terrified at this point, the boys took off towards their truck only to realise that they had somehow lost the ignition key.
With this new hindrance, the panicked youngsters ran to the road and started trying to hitchhike - but they noticed that ‘some form’ resembling ‘a mobile haystack with two huge red eyes’ would manifest every time they tried to go west, and force them to retreat back the other way. There is little information on how they escaped the situation, which they presumably did because they must’ve lived to tell the tale.
