Weird Wednesday: A Bigfoot Sighting in Washington State Posted: 07 Jul 2010 06:55 AM PDT Apropos of absolutely nothing, I bring you yet another lively report of a Bigfoot sighting. This one is an oldie but a goodie. A woman saw a strange being near Highway 525, Whidbey Island, in Washington back in the spring of 1976. I spent the night at a friend’s house. I decided to walk down an old logging road to the country store to get a cup of coffee. The sun was just beginning to shine through the forest in foggy streaks. As I walked across a crossroads, I turned my head left and looked down about 200 feet. There, walking out of the forest, was a tall human-like creature. With the sun hitting its backside, I could see it had brown reddish hair that came from its forehead back down its whole body. The hair was long, 8 or 10 inches and matted. It turned its head, its neck about human length. It did not have to turn its body to see me. Its face was black and I could not make out any details. It had a long stride — one step onto the middle of the road, the next into the edge of the forest. It was very tall and thin. Its arms swung out below its knees as it walked straight and upright like a human. I froze in fear and ran back home in the opposite direction. When I told anyone they just laughed. Even the game warden. But a year later he saw me fishing and told me he got another report 8 miles west with the same description. And here’s a follow-up report by Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization Investigator David W. Ellis: Although the early morning encounter happened over 34 years ago, the witness recalled details like it was yesterday. She was very calm and did not embellish but was obviously very struck by what she saw. She was rebuffed by friends at the telling of her encounter. But that did not stop her from reporting the incident to the game warden stationed at nearby South Whidbey Island State Park. She was told that nobody had ever reported any such creature to the park ranger. She said it was with great relief, one year later, that the same game warden informed her that another party reported seeing something that fit the description of the creature, not more than 8 miles away. Whidbey Island has changed much over the last 34 years. The landscape is much different from when this sighting took place. New housing has penetrated the forested land. That being said, at the time of her sighting there was much cover, wildlife and numerous fresh water ponds providing good habitat.
