Huge upright figure crosses road in-front of Marysville couple at night

11 December 2012 about 11:00 to 11:30 at night Marysville, Snohomish County, Washington 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a companion were driving at night when headlights illuminated a large hairy figure crossing the road in front of the truck. The figure moved quickly down a steep bank, across the road, and into dense vegetation, disappearing before the witness could exit the vehicle, though crashing sounds were heard afterward. The dog in the vehicle reacted by whimpering and fixating on the woods.
