Class B First-hand BFRO #49883

Recollection of a possible late night stalking on Waterloo Road in Allamuchy

August 1977 about 9:30-10:00 PM Allamuchy NJ, Warren County, New Jersey 1 witness

Account

In August 1977 the witness was walking along Waterloo Road at night after missing a ride and trying to hitchhike. He heard something moving through the woods alongside the road that sounded bipedal and kept pace with him, running when he ran and walking when he walked, for about a mile. The night was very dark and he never saw the source, eventually getting a ride near houses.
