Second-hand Bigfoot Society EP 303

Sasquatch sighting near Vineland, New Jersey (1972)

1972 night Vineland, New Jersey 2 witnesses

Account

An older couple spent about an hour night-fishing in West Side Park with chairs and coolers. They repeatedly heard rustling around their pickup, then a loud tree smack and branch break as they moved between their fishing spot and the truck. As they started the truck with windows open, something struck the passenger-side bed with great force and they saw a roughly seven to seven-and-a-half-foot silhouette in the headlights before driving off. At home they found a basketball-sized dent, and a police-officer friend told them several local officers had also seen the creature but never reported it.
