Eyeshine in New Jersey (1972)
Account
In 1972 a state park ranger on night foot patrol in High Point State Park encountered two pairs of reflecting red eyes. He put it on his report, the newspaper obtained it, and Big Red Eye made the front page. The guest cites this as Sussex County's Bigfoot claim to fame and namesake for his show.
