21 November 2016 Manchester I Think, Ocean County, New Jersey Class A #56480

Men have early morning sighting on way to job site near Manchester

While driving to a job in the early morning, the witness and a companion stopped for deer crossing the road. A large hairy figure came to the edge of the pavement, paused briefly, then turned and went back into the woods. Both occupants viewed it from a short distance and discussed matching descriptions on the way to the job.

Summer 1979 Manahawkin, Ocean County, New Jersey Class A #1556

Young cyclist observes tall, dark creature in Manahawkin

The witness claims they stopped while biking in woods to wait for companions when a branch snapped about 40 feet away. A tall hair-covered human-proportioned figure stared silently at them, stooped its head to peer, then raised an arm for balance and stepped into the woods out of sight. The witness says they froze, briefly glanced toward companions, then looked back to find the figure still there before it left.

A quick ask from the person behind the Anomadex: if you allow analytics, Google Analytics shows me which places, phenomena and searches you're most curious about. That tells me which regions and sources to add next and what to make easier to find. It never sees your name or anything you send me, and nothing is set unless you say yes. Privacy
