Homeless camper reports stalking by a bigfoot near Great Egg Harbor River
The witness was stealth camping alone in woods near town. Late at night a powerful foul odor filled the tent, followed by bipedal footsteps circling the tent, breathing and sniffing at the tarp. After the witness shouted, the visitor growled, walked away on two feet, and wood-on-wood knocks were heard as the odor faded. The witness left the area the next morning.
Possible encounter at a state park campsite on the Musconetcong River
The witness camped overnight in a sleeping bag by a dying fire after hearing a metallic clink followed by tree knocks that seemed to answer each other from two directions. The witness then watched a dark silhouette showing only head and shoulders peek from behind a tree about 20 feet away. In the morning a tied food bag was gone except for an orange left on the ground.
Strange bellowing noises heard
Over several weeks the witness was repeatedly awakened at night by loud, drawn-out bellowing sounds that seemed to move and change in volume. A friend, the friend's spouse, and a relative also heard the sounds, and overturned garbage cans were found in the mornings. The sounds were first thought to be cows, deer, or a bear, but the witness later felt they resembled alleged Bigfoot recordings from Pennsylvania.
Memory told of a possible encounter while camping with Girl Scouts in the Pine Barrens

Counselors kept everyone by the fire until daylight, when another scout group helped them leave and police were called but reportedly found nothing.
Teens have scary encounter in abandoned creamery near Sussex
Two teenagers exploring an abandoned creamery had the companion climb a ladder to the upper floor, where he reported a foul smell and hairy legs behind a box. Both then heard heavy running overhead with ceiling boards moving, and saw a large hairy figure break through a wall, cross a roof, and appear directly after loading doors blew open. They watched it run away through a cornfield for several seconds until it went over or through a fence and disappeared.
