Two northern New Jersey boys are riding their bikes at night when they both observe a pale crawler humanoid walking upright from a swamp and onto the road.
I received the following account:
“I swear to god this is a real story. I still get the chills re-telling it. This was 20 years ago (2004) in Sussex County in northern New Jersey. A friend and I were riding our bikes from his house to mine. It was probably 9:30-10 pm in the summer so it was pitch black when we were coming down the road. He only lived four houses down from me so it was only about 1500 feet from his house to mine. In front of my house is a “swamp” as to the legal deed of my parent's house, and across the road on the other side is a “swamp” as well.
We were approximately 200 feet from my driveway (right before the swamp began) and this “thing” came out of the swamp about 50-70 feet in front of us. It was tall, say 6 feet at least, with long lanky legs, and long arms that looked like they could almost touch the ground. I don’t know if it had hair or fur, I wasn’t close enough to it, and the road was basically pitch black except for the light from neighboring houses. I was light in color, maybe white or just pale. It walked on its back legs, and kind of lumbered out of the swamp like it kinda used its front legs sometimes to help run, but definitely a rear, two-legged something.
Anyway, this thing comes out of the swamp and goes to the middle of the street, turns to us, and makes this weird bloodcurdling scream/growl/hissing. It was a sound I wish I had on tape because I cannot duplicate it. After it makes this noise it runs across the street into the other swamp/woods. Well, my friend and I almost crapped our pants where we stood, U-turned our bikes, and high-tailed it the hell out of there. We took a few minutes to re-coup our thoughts and analyze WTF just happened. After a few minutes, we agreed that we both saw the same exact thing but had no idea what just happened. After regaining our courage we bolted back down the road to my house.
Since that day I have never seen or heard that thing again (And for the record we were both 100% sober, too young to be doing drugs or alcohol). We have deer, coyotes, black bears but I’ve seen them all and this was nothing of that sort. The swampy area is probably only a foot or so deep. I told my parents but they just said, “Oh, that’s weird” and kinda brushed it off. We didn’t go look for prints. We were young and scared. Definitely would have gone back if it happened to me now. It was walking on 2 (legs), but its front appendages were very long like it “could” use them to run if it needed to. I wasn’t close enough to get a good look at the head and honestly, I was so scared I was kinda frozen in place until it ran off and I came to my senses and we booked it the hell outta there.” D
