Man Shares 2001 Bigfoot Sighting at New Jersey State Park

So there's this wild livestream that popped up where the host was dealing with every tech issue imaginable—laptop crashes, internet crawling, a guest who never showed up. But instead of throwing in the towel, they turned it into an open mic night for encounters, and that's when things got really interesting. A guy named Lou, 51 years old and from Jersey, hopped on to share a story that's been sitting with him since 2001. He and his older brother—who was prepping to join the Marines—decided to do a deep woods camping trip at High Point State Park, way up in the northwest corner of New Jersey near the New York and Pennsylvania borders. For those who don't know the area, Sussex County is one of the only truly rural parts of the state, packed with state parks and thick wilderness that connects right into the Appalachian Trail system. They'd been there a few times before, but this particular weekend, Lou's brother spotted something that changed everything. About two to three miles off the Appalachian Trail, his brother stopped and said he'd just seen a dog. When Lou asked what the problem was, his brother told him it was walking on two feet. Lou could see by his face he wasn't joking, so he started walking toward where his brother pointed—about 40 yards out—and caught sight of something jet black behind a tree. The discussion cuts off right there, so you'll have to tune in to hear the rest of what Lou saw that day. High Point State Park is the kind of place that makes sense for something like this—dense forest, remote, and right in that stretch of woods that connects Jersey to upstate New York and Pennsylvania. The Pine Barrens down south get all the attention, but the northwest corner has its own eerie reputation. What makes this one stand out is how casual the witness is. No theatrics, no dramatic buildup—just a guy who grew up in a place where cryptids weren't really on anyone's radar, having an experience he never asked for. And the detail about the creature being jet black and bipedal is consistent with a lot of Dogman reports that have come out of the Northeast over the years. Definitely worth catching the full clip to hear Lou's complete account. These kinds of spontaneous, unfiltered witness shares are gold, especially when the person telling the story has zero reason to make anything up.
