Hi all,I just purchased WWW.NEWJERSEYBIGFOOT.COM,and want to hear from all NJ researchers,Bigfoot witnesses,etc. I am going to be getting the site up soon I hope(in between a full time job,a part time small business,and doing things at home)But I would like to have it up and running by 1/1/09.
I am going to make a sightings/reports section, a researchers section(where all NJ bigfoot researchers can post their contact info to be in contact with other researchers,or where people that have witnessed Bigfoot,can contact a researcher for help)along with some other possible tools. I would like to hear from people with suggestions,thoughts,etc for the site.Remember,although NJ isnt in prime Bigfoot country like the pacific northwest,it has had a large number of possible sightings over the years,and I am based in the Pine Barrens,which has been a hot bed for Bigfoot activity. So please PM me with suggestions,and info, or email me at: morfordmi@comcast.net
In the meantime,i will be looking at some of the other bigfoot sites out there to see what works,and what doesnt work,and which tools look good,perhaps borrowing some of the ideas of fellow Bigfoot enthusiasts. I know Autumn has a nice site on oregonbigfoot.com. I look forward to hearing from you guys,Mike

I spent the first 18 years of my life living outside of Lakewood. It was still pretty countryfied then and I knew just about every square inch of field, woods, swamp and farmland between Freehold, Toms River, Jackson and Lakehurst. Winter Spring, Summer, Fall daytime and nighttime. There isn't any Sasquatch in New Jersey. The Pine Barrens may be pretty big but they're hardly wilderness they're just somewhat empty but folks do live witin them. Ever hear of the Pineys? You could land somebody at nigh in the middle of them and challange them to walk out. A healthy person can just about pick any direction and start walking and within a day and a half they'd find themselves in dense civilization. So what are the chances of a large biped colony existing unseen within 45 minutes of NYC, Philly and Atlantic City in one of the most densely populated areas of the country?
We knew all the lore around like the Jersey Devil and such but there was never a mention of Bigfoot, nada, zip, zilche. And we had a few real colorful old timers with roots that went bac to before the Revoloution and they could tell tales that would make your hair stand on end. But Bigfoot? It was completly unknown in the lore of the land. Make of this what you will.

Crowlogic,with all due respect,the Lakewood area isnt the pines,and the area close to Toms River isnt loaded with woods either.Lakehurst is the closest to the pines and thats on the edge of it.. The pines cover over a million acres,and if you want to meet up with me,ill drop you off and see if you can make it back to civilization.There are large sections,in the Bass River area into Chatsworth,New Gretna,along rt 70,72,563,etc that are so thick and far off,that unless you have GPS or a compass,you could get seriously lost. The pines are home to Deer,bear,bobcats,and any other number of animalsand is the perfect area for Bigfoot to live undisturbed.And as far as no BIGFOOT in NJ,I dont know for sure one way or the other,but there are some very credible eyewitness accounts,including one by a state trooper in the Bass River incident which im sure many people here are aware of.
"The Pinelands National Reserve (PNR) was created by Congress under the National Parks and Recreation Act of 1978. The PNR is the first National Reserve in the nation. The PNR encompasses approximately 1.1 million acres covering portions of seven counties and all or parts of 56 municipalities.
This internationally important ecological region is 1.1 million acres in size and occupies 22% of New Jersey's land area. It is the largest body of open space on the Mid-Atlantic seaboard between Richmond and Boston and is underlain by aquifers containing 17 trillion gallons of some of the purest water in the land"

You should have a look at the report that we have done on this area. This is one of the more compelling investigations that we have done.

also our followup.

We will likely be making additional trips to the area.
Tep,thanks,this was the report i was referring to. This has intrigued me greatly.I want to say first and foremost,that i believe that "SOME" of these reports are actually bear sightings that people are mistaking for Bigfoot.But with that said,bears dont walk upright on 2 legs for more then a few feet at a time,so its hard to dismiss the reports of upright walking creatures. There are alot of weird screams and howls reported too,and I myself hear one years ago,that still gives me the chills today,but its hard to rely on sounds.I want to see solid evidence,sightings,tracks,hair,etc

Many reports that people give are probably of mistaken identity. However, the bass river incidents certainly do seem to be something different. Based on our direct interview with the primary witness, he really believes that what he saw was not a bear and it was on two legs and followed him for a good distance while traveling on two legs.
That was definitely an interesting report and totally believable. From the sound of the report, the eyewitness seemed credible. That is something that I believe is very important in researching any case.
