Mays Landing, Atlantic Cty, New Jersey

Account
Alice Haggerty filled in a sighting report form saying that in the Pine Barrens close to Mays Landing she saw an 8 to 9-foot creature from a distance of 25 to 30 feet, which stayed and looked at 'us' for almost 20 minutes, and left a stench that lasted for hours. It had red eyes, presumably reflecting, since encounter was after dark. Accompanying drawing is of a fairly thin creature, but weight estimate is 300 lb.
