In 1993 my wife & I were camping with our friends in Wharton State Forrest.It was a week before the memorial day weekend.We wanted to go before because it gets crowded down there.When we arrived the park rangers told us we were the only campers there for that week.Also at the time I was the only one that knew that there may be BF inN.J. in the group.(I had mentioned such ,but of course was laughed at.)I had gone down to camp & have fun though ,not researching them at the time.Nothing much happened for the first few nights,but by the third night started hearing vocalizations,& distant wood knockings.At the time I didnt think much of it,until the sixth night.It was 3:00am & I stumbled out of my tent to get our canopy,because it started to light rain.As I stumbled I stubbed my toe on the tent cord,at the time yelling my !@$#% head off.Just then 20 to 30 feet to the right & behind my tent something let off this sound & took off crashing through the trees & brush ,I also noticed that foul odor again.It had scared me so bad that I slept in the truck with my wife.Of course everyone else was still asleep until the commotion,& then laughed at me when I told them what had happened.But when the next day came they saw broken branches about 5 to 7 feet off the ground,& the ground was all tore up like something was in a hurry to get outta there.The next morn went to ranger station & they came out & said it was possibly a bear or deer.There is no way those animals could make the destruction that there was that far off the ground ,could they?After that experience I have constantly researched in that area.Then when I joined NESRA &read the PINE BARREN investigation chris’s team had done it intrigued me.IDo believe & know without a doubt that BF Lives in the Pineys.I also have afew other weird things happen down there.Will be doing more research down there soon for fall is coming,& any evidence I
retrieve will be more than glad to share with my BF brothers. Keep squatching!
