Frankford, Sussex Cty, New Jersey
Feb 1975
Account
Coming over a rise on the edge of Bear Swamp about 3 a.m., John Christman had to step on the brake to avoid hitting an 8 to 9-foot grey sasquatch already walking across the road. It paid no attention to the car, and was across the road in two strides. Long arms, enormous legs. He told no one until he heard that John and Betty Adams had seen something similar (2240). Yeti Newsletter also mentions George Yesthal as a witness.
