REPORT DETAIL

Description of event: It was 1972, four of us were on the way to a party on the other side of this canyon. We were Seniors in High School.
This area is all rolling hills with tall brush here and there canyons and gully's. There were only a handful of houses back then, maybe 20 in the 4.5 miles. Now there are more ranch houses and the "old" fences once there have been replaced years ago.
I know exactly where we saw this creature because we had to go around a corner that was sharp and I remember telling Dan to Slow Down because he was driving way too fast and I was feeling like we were going to have an accident any moment. Dan slows down enough to get around the curve and speeds up again, then from the right side of the road this thing jumps out onto the road and runs across the road in front of the car. I distinctly remember its long strides, it had no clothes on but its body was shaped like a human and covered all over from head to feet with about 4 inch long hair. Its hair was a light to medium golden tan and its facial features were very clear as I could see its eyes looking at us, its nose and mouth.
I was amazed at how fast he was running with long strides, long legs, and covered all over in fur about 4 inches in length. The creature looked at us as its running across the road, never stopping and jumped with ease over a fence that looked like 6 foot tall.
I'm writing a book and plan on putting this sighting in it with photos of the location. Hopefully I can contact Dan again, I had found him in 2005 and asked if he remembered it and she said "Oh yes"
