The Sasquatch of the Garden State
When the first European settlers arrived in New Jersey, Native American tribes told them of a strange, hairy beast which inhabited New Jersey's forests and swamps. Eventually, awkward sightings of unknown, man-like hairy creatures were made.
Cryptids USA is based in New Jersey, so our investigations are conducted here. New Jersey may not seem like a place for an undiscovered ape to live, but there is more to the Garden State than meets the eye. While New Jersey may be the most densely populated state in America, its population is confined to small pockets. In between those pockets, are vast areas of wild land and wilderness. In these areas of natural environment live coyotes, black bears, foxes, other mammals, many birds, reptiles, amphibians, and maybe something else.
Every year, alleged Bigfoot sightings take place in New Jersey. Could such an animal actually be living in New Jersey: the state of too many people? Well, the short answer is yes. New Jersey has the Pine Barrens, wild land that begins in Middlesex County and goes all the way down towards southern New Jersey. It alone comprises of about 1.1 million acres of forest, swamps, and wetlands. In the north, there are vast mountain regions where heavily forested national forests can be found. So, still think its impossible for a creature like Sasquatch to live in the Garden State?
In northern New Jersey in Sussex County, county residents have given a nickname to a very awkward animal: Big Red Eye. There are various sightings each year of an unknown creature. Witnesses describe it as being tall, about eight feet tall, with brown, reddish hair. The most notable of its features are its eyes, which witnesses say are big and glow bright red. That's how it earned its nickname "Big Red Eye". Such a creature like Bigfoot may very well be living under everyone's gaze here in New Jersey. Those who have encountered the creature have been left with an unbelievable and unexplained experience. Whether you believe in Sasquatch or not, one thing is certainly true: there's something weird going on in the Garden State.
