Possible sighting by motorist on perimeter of Deception State Park

The witness was riding as a passenger northbound on Highway 20 toward Deception Pass Bridge in the afternoon. While looking out the passenger window into the treeline, she saw a humanlike, apparently unclothed figure sitting on a branch, leaning out and holding on with one arm while watching traffic below. The view lasted about two seconds and was backlit, showing only an outline with a sloping head; the driver did not see it and they did not turn around.

Woman remembers her morning road walk interrupted by a large hairy bi-pedal animal on Whidbey Island

In early spring 1976 the witness was walking alone in the morning along an old logging road toward a country store. At a crossroads the witness saw a very tall, thin hair-covered figure emerge from dense forest about 200 feet away and cross the road in two long upright strides before re-entering the forest. The witness froze in fear and then ran back in the opposite direction.
