Teens experience possible nighttime stalking & intimidation in Pemberton

October 2007 around 10pm Pemberton Borough, Burlington County, New Jersey 5 witnesses

Account

In fall 2007 five young men walked into semi-dense woods at night and noticed a strong foul odor. Brush began shaking violently and with flashlights they saw broad shoulders moving through vegetation, then noticed something running down a hill and a large fallen tree that had been moved from its prior position. As they left the valley they again heard movement and saw a crouched figure shimmying through thick brush before fleeing the area frightened.
