An account in Skagit County, Washington

I had taken my kids for a drive on Mother's Day, 1980, in the mountains east of Big Lake, WA.

It saw us, stopped to look at us, then ran back down into the brush and disappeared. It was almost black, with no variation in color. It was not a bear, nor a human.
