TIME:     Around 2:00 am
 

LOCATION:   Sussex County, New Jersey
 

TERRAIN:    Wooded
 

OBSERVED:    IT WAS ABOUT 2:OO AM . MY MOM WENT TO SEE MY FATHER IN THE HOSPITAL AND STAYED THERE FOR THE NIGHT. MY UNCLE WAS BABY-SITTING ME AND MY TWO BROTHERS.  THERE WAS A NOISE OUTSIDE THE HOUSE. SO MY UNCLE GOT UP AND WENT OUT TO SEE WHAT IT WAS. I HEARD HIM, SO I FOLLOWED. HE CAME BACK INSIDE AND HE LOOKED AS WHITE AS A GHOST. HE GOT MY FATHERS .22 CAL PISTOL, AND WENT BACK OUTSIDE.  I FOLLOWED AGAIN VERY CURIOUS TO SEE WHAT SCARED HIM. THE MOON WAS THE ONLY LIGHT OUTSIDE , BUT IT WAS FULL. SO I COULD CLEARLY SEE WHAT IT WAS THAT SCARED HIM. HE WAS SHAKING AND HELD UP THE GUN, NEXT TO HIM WAS A TALL HAIRY CREATURE WITH LONG DARK HAIR. IT WAS VERY WIDE , AND HAD A FACE THAT SEAMED  KIND OF HUMAN-APE LIKE. MY UNCLE GOT SCARED AND SHOT AT IT. IT RAN AWAY INTO THE MOUNTAINS BEHIND OUR HOUSE HOLLERING AND SCREAMING, I FELT THE HAIRS ON THE BACK OF MY NECK STAND UP. WE WENT BACK INSIDE. I WAS VERY AFRAID, I COULD NOT SLEEP. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TIME IT WAS THAT THE SCREAMING GOT LOUDER. BUT
    WHEN IT GOT DARK WE WERE IN THE HOUSE WATCHING T.V. ALL THE SUDDEN SOMETHING HIT THE HOUSE. IT WAS A THUDDING POUNDING SOUND. AS I WRITE THIS I GET CHILLS BECAUSE I REMEMBER IT LIKE IT WERE YESTERDAY. THE NOISE WENT AROUND THE HOUSE. THE GARBAGE CANS WERE THROWN AT THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE. THAT SCREAMING SOUND AGAIN. MY BROTHERS AND I WERE SITTING ON THE FLOOR IN MY ROOM STARING AT THE WINDOW WHICH WAS GROUND LEVEL. I WAS SO SCARED AS WELL AS EVERYONE ELSE. WE ALL JUST STOPPED BREATHING OUT OF PURE FEAR. IT WENT ON FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES. IT SEEMED LIKE FOREVER. THEN THERE WAS QUIET. MY MOTHER NOW BELIEVED IT. IT WAS REAL. IT WAS NOT OVER THEN.
      THE NEXT DAY WE ALL WENT TO VISIT MY FATHER IN THE HOSPITAL. WHEN WE CAME HOME IT WAS DARK. MY MOTHER KNEW NOW THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING LIVING IN THE WOODS BY OUR HOUSE, SO SHE CAME IN THE DRIVE, AND LEFT THE LIGHTS ON SO WE COULD RUN IN THE HOUSE. ON THE HILL WAS OUR PIG WILBUR. MY MOM WAS SUDDENLY STARTED. SHE SAW SOMETHING IN HIS PEN MOVE BY HIM. WILBUR WAS SQUEALING LIKE MAD. THEN IT STOOD UP, AND IN THE HEADLIGHTS OF THE CAR WE COULD REALLY SEE IT. IT WAS VERY TALL AND YOU COULD SEE HOW STRONG IT WAS, IT LOOKED AT US AND STEPPED OVER THE FENCE LIKE IT WERE NOTHING, THE FENCE WAS FOUR FEET TALL. THEN WE KNEW IF IT WANTED TO HURT US IT COULD HAVE, BUT ONLY WANTED US TO KNOW IT WAS MAD FOR WHAT MY UNCLE DID.
..SO, WE WENT IN THE HOUSE AND LOCKED THE DOOR, AND WE DIDN'T SLEEP VERY WELL.  THE NEXT MORNING WE WENT OUT TO SEE WILBUR. HE HAD A SCRATCH ON HIS FACE THAT WAS PRETTY DEEP, AND THE PEN FLOOR HAD A COUPLE OF MUTTLED TRACKS, THEY LOOKED LIKE HUMAN TRACKS, BUT MUCH WIDER. IT WAS REAL AND WE HAD TO REALIZE IT.
     IT WAS ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER WHEN MY DAD CAME HOME. THEY WERE ON THE PORCH WITH A COUPLE OF FRIENDS. OUR DOG WAS BARKING, BUT QUICKLY STOPPED. WE HEARD SOMETHING IN MY DADS GARDEN.
MY DAD GOT A FLASHLIGHT. HE SHINED IT TOWARDS THE GARDEN, AND THERE WAS WHAT LOOKED TO BE A FAMILY OF THEM. TWO BIGGER ONES AND ONE SMALLER. THEY JUST LOOKED AT US. MY FATHER TRIED TO TALK TO THEM, THEY JUST STAYED WHERE THEY WERE. WE STAYED ON THE PORCH WATCHING OUR FATHER TRY TO COMMUNICATE WITH THESE CREATURES. NO MOVEMENT WAS MADE. SO HE TURNED OFF THE LIGHT, AND GOT BACK ON THE PORCH. AFTER A WHILE HE SHINED THE LIGHT BY THE GARDEN AND THEY WERE GONE. THE NEXT MORNING MY DAD CALLED HIS FOREST RANGER FRIEND MR. XXXX TO COME TO OUR HOUSE AND SEE THE FOOTPRINTS HE FOUND. HE DID COME AND LOOK AT THEM.  AFTER THAT I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED . THEY WERE NOT BACK AGAIN, AND EVERYTHING GOT QUIET. WE LIVED NEXT TO THE APPALACIAN TRAIL SO AS IT IS SAID THE BIGFOOT TRAVELS IT . I WILL NEVER FORGET THIS BECAUSE IT IS A MEMORY THAT IS EMBEDDED IN MY MIND. I KNOW WHAT I HAD SEEN, AND IT WAS REAL. THE SIGHT THE SMELL AND THE SOUNDS THAT BRING A PERSON TO BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE CREATURES OUT THERE.
 

Activities of Witness:   N/A
 

Description of Creature:  I OBSERVED THAT IT WAS ABOUT 7 FEET TALL , LONG DARK BROWN AND BLACK HAIR, BROWN EYES, AND A HUMAN LIKE FACE, IT DID HAVE A BAD SMELL. HUMAN LIKE FEET, WIDER AT THE HEAL .
 

Other Notes:    A PERSON SEEN ONE ON THE BEACH. IT WAS IN THE NEWSPAPER AT THE TIME. AND SOME CAMPERS SEEN ONE.

IT IS A VEGETARIAN ,BECAUSE IT ATE THE PIGS FOOD OF GRAINS AND FRUITS, AND DIDN'T TRY TO HARM THE PIG. WE THINK THAT THE PIG WAS SCARED AND CUT HIMSELF WHEN HE WAS TRYING TO GET AWAY.
