A few weeks ago, I stumbled upon a fascinating video on the Bigfoot Society YouTube channel. The video, titled "SWAMPDOGG Returns / South Jersey Sasquatch / Bigfoot Society 303," features a captivating account of a Sasquatch encounter from 1972, shared by an elderly couple who still reside in Vineland, New Jersey. In the video, the couple shares their experience at West Side Park, located off Almond Road. They were fishing and enjoying a day outdoors when they began hearing rustling noises around their pickup truck. At first, they dismissed it as a deer or perhaps a hobo, but soon the sounds grew louder and more frequent. As they approached their truck, they heard a loud smack on a tree, which prompted them to quickly gather their belongings and rush back to their vehicle. It was then that they heard a big smack on the back of their truck, causing them to hurry up and back out of the spot, shining their flashlight towards the woods. To their surprise, they saw a silhouette in the darkness. Although the video does not include a recording of the encounter, the couple's detailed description paints a vivid picture of their experience. The video also highlights the growing interest in Sasquatch sightings in South Jersey, with several individuals coming forward to share their stories. A gentleman who had an encounter along the Maurice River in Cumberland County in the late 1970s even reached out to the Bigfoot Society via a comment on their YouTube channel. As a curator of these captivating stories, I encourage you to watch the video and share your thoughts in the comments section. It's always intriguing to hear about firsthand accounts of Sasquatch encounters and learn more about the mysterious creatures that roam our forests and parks.
