Incident #1001426
Silverton, Snohomish Cty, Washington
Jun 1980
Account
Informant and partner descending from the summit of Mount Pugh looked back up to Stujack Pass and saw a large, dark, humanlike form stand up and look down at them. It then began to wave its unusually long arms vigorously up and down and over its head. Then low clouds moved in and they could no longer see it. They both felt that the gesture was menacing. The forelimbs were much too long for a bear, and they were sure no other person could be on the mountain. vigorously
