Camper is followed, caught a glimpse in New Jersey
Account
The witness was walking alone at night from the [name withheld] back to the cabin area along a lake trail, open field and wooded paths. For much of the walk the witness felt something large paralleling movements from the dense woods, staying out of clear view. On the final wooded trail the witness stopped and shouted toward the presence, which then crashed away through the woods, giving a brief glimpse of a very tall bipedal dark shape. The witness ran to the cabin and did not search for tracks.
