Creature and footprint observed in Simi Valley
Account
A group of five returned at night to the site of an earlier reported quad encounter. Around 9 p.m. the area became silent and they watched a figure peek from behind a boulder before they approached closer. From about 50 yards they watched a 7- to 8-foot hair-covered figure run silently down a dirt road. After it left, normal night sounds resumed.
