DATE:    October 3, 2004
 

TIME:     7:30 PM
 

LOCATION:   Santa Cruz County, California
 

TERRAIN:    Wooded area near a beach
 

OBSERVED:     My son XXXXX and I were sitting in our backyard which is very big (about 3 square acres of our extra owned land) wooded area.  Suddenly we heard a sound that sounded like a four legged animal running in the neighbors yard. My son ran inside and got a flashlight quickly, he came back out.  We couldn't hear anything so we waited and in about 2 minutes we heard it again, but this time coming from our yard. I quickly took a rake near by and ran to see what it was, i shined the flashlight but couldn't see anything so i turned out the flash light set it down on the ground and quietly waited. I then saw the silhouette of an almost seven foot tall animal standing on two legs with a posture almost human but not as slender of a body. I quickly shined the light on it, it was about 10yds away, it was very hairy like a cross between a gorilla and a full grown man and it was running away on two legs i just ran to my son who was now in tears, I grabbed him and took him in the house and locked the door. He was telling me that somehow he had witnessed the same thing.  I then called the police but they didn't believe me.  We went back out there the next day and found no traces to what had happened
 

Activities of Witness:    WE were getting out our gear to plan surfing down by the beach the next day.
 

Description of Creature:  covered in hair, limping run, almost man like poster of standing on two legs, almost seven feet tall.
