A very tall figure in Stanislaus County, California

While riding our bike just after sundown my dogs started going crazy, I looked at my dogs and saw that the hair on their backs was straight up. I looked in the direction they were barking and standing in a suger beet field thirty to forty feet away was a humanoid figure covered in long shaggy grey hair. This thing was massive and I would imagine it was at least eight feet tall. It didn't move - it just stood there looking at us. Needless to say in 1962 I didn't know what bigfoot was so I turned my bike around and got the hell out there. My dogs a collie and an Australian shepherd beat me home.
