Ruminer states that a man and his son riding on an all-terrain cycle in the Santa Susana Mountains on a dirt road 500 yards from a housing tract sighted an 8-foot, heavy, hairy, manlike creature standing 20 feet from the road in waist-high brush, watching them. The man turned the ATV and rode back past it, then it started to follow them, continuing as they accelerated, until the cycle hit a ditch and crashed. After the accident it was not seen again.
