Bigfoot and the “Big Hairy Man”

Reports of encounters with the legendary creature known as Bigfoot, Sasquatch and the Abdominal Snowman are common in the Pacific Northwest, as well as rural areas in Illinois, Ohio and Pennsylvania. When traveling the Weird New Jersey route though, you may encounter this creature right in your own backyard…that is, if you live in the northwest section of the state, where most of these sightings have occurred.
Lake Owassa Sighting In 1975, five people reported in a local Sussex County newspaper that a large creature, about nine-feet-tall was spotted near the Bear Swamp, south of Lake Owassa in the farthest reaches of Sussex County.  The creature walked upright, and was covered with shaggy gray hair. Locals who hunt and fish in the surrounding forest said that it’s possible that something like that could exist because of the remoteness of the area.
