Footsteps in New Jersey (1995)
Account
The witness went bow hunting alone in the early morning, climbing into a tree stand in a state park by a cornfield. The forest went silent and he heard loud bipedal footsteps approaching down the trail, then quiet movement stopping in front of his stand. He drew his bow and tapped an arrow against it, after which the creature fled very fast across the field as a tall dark shadow. He left at sunrise and says he never returned to that park.
