In the Rocky Mountains, nestled in the Pikes Peak Region at 9000ft, are a series of reservoirs closed in by old, large pines, seasoned aspens and towering mountains. This is Catamount. These Catamount reservoirs are fed by a number of streams melted from winter’s freeze and bubbling up from natural springs provided by the sky scraping, 14,000 ft Pikes Peak, carving out a unique, high elevation eco system that provides a haven for a variety of wildlife.  But according to local folklore and embellished mountain town newspapers, there’s something else out there more elusive than bobcats, and more mysterious than mountain lions. , something lumbering through the dense trees, watching through the foliage, making appearances in the distance, and broadcasting a sound that echos through the mountainous peaks and valleys.  Meet John and Jill who have been living in this region for over a decade, and have some very unusual activity on their property.
