NJ BURLINGTON 1997 TR94 BFRO* In April, 1997, Burlington Co., NJ, on the Batona trail, Wharton State Forest. Thirty people were making a three day hike in the thick pine forest after a week of rain, and made camp at an isolated spot two miles off the trail. The camp had only a dirt road for access and was quite remote. Sleeping at the fringe of the camp, at 1:30 AM there was a terrible scream that witness wasn’t familiar with. The large creature moved smoothly through the brush, and was within 20 yards of the group. Witness buried his head in the sleeping bag and tried to look unappetizing. An hour or two later, it passed by again, and again other hikers kept quiet. As it progressed, the creature made a rolling sound over the forest floor, rather than steps like deer, and it was hitting tree branches as it passed. There were three distinct screams. The next morning other campers reported hearing the screams, but nothing else. Later witness was informed by an acquaintance that live near there, that the Screamer Phenomenon” is frequent in that particular area.

Hey Yankeesearch, didn’t even know you were in chat, now you have the bug so bad you will have to keep going out to see another one. :)
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:56 am »
Anyway, as I stand before God, I did not make this up!
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:55 am »
Not saying it was Sq/BF/DM/Yeti... but it was strange. And I am locking my doors tonight for sure! :lol:
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:54 am »
And just I was turning away, I thought I heard snort -- which could have been deer or maybe cattle... but... I do not know.
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:53 am »
I did not have the creepy feeling I normally get in these situations... so I really do not know what to make of it.
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:53 am »
One detail I forgot to mention: the whoop had almost a human like talk after it on both occasions.
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:52 am »
I walked back to the other side, and thought I heard a knock...
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:51 am »
Cattle about 1/8th mile away disappeared... and strangely at that location: it sounded like something banged the metal fence. Not loud... but never ever heard it before tonight.
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:50 am »
Two whoops... and some deer scattering (they may have been scattering because of me).
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:50 am »
From 6:20 PM to maybe 6:45 PM CST
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:49 am »
I may have just had an encounter!
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:46 am »
Hi gang! I know it has been a long time...
@ BrianDriver « Sat 12:59 pm »
Good quality pics. How long were the cams out?
@ admin « Thu 9:09 pm »
Just to get the chat going, it’s going to take some time to move over all the data, but in the end, hope everyone likes the layout here.
