Campers have possible encounter while staying in High Point State Park

Two brothers camped overnight beside a lake in the park. During the night and again after dawn they repeatedly heard a loud aggressive exhale-like sound nearby, along with footsteps and branches breaking as something moved through the forest, followed by scream-like sounds that turned into chatter. In daylight they found a matted vegetation bed, a fresh flattened trail, and footprints in mud where the sounds had come from. The entity itself was never seen.

Spring 1998 Sussex County, New Jersey Class B #1558

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.

Sasquatch sighting near Chestnut, New Jersey

The guest had just returned home after enlisting in the Navy and let his dogs out. He walked about 700-800 yards southeast into the woods and heard loud strange vocals, then saw a tall red-haired figure standing behind a berry bush staring at him. He ran back to the house, found his small dog shaking and foaming, then briefly returned to look for tracks before a loud branch snap sent him back to the house.
