Something walking upright in Berkeley County, West Virginia

I was driving to work at approximately 7:40 a.m. When a small deer ran across the road in front of me so I slowed down...as I slow down I noticed something running through the woods off to my right...it was six feet tall approximately with black hair that walked upright on two legs ...it was moving much too fast to be a person and was definitely not a deer

What stood out: something walking upright
