i was cruising along with my friends in my old 69 plymouth on a back woods road in northern NJ late at night in the mid 90s. cop pulls us over. i ask the cop whats the problem. cop says i have a tail light out. i go back with him to look and i didnt have a tail light out. its an old car and it actually has 6 tail lights , one of the bulbs had popped out of its housing.I'm of the opinion that every one of those are species we are 100% aware of, but people don't recognize them as such when they glimpse them at a distance or out of the corner of their eye, or at night. Thus, a new mystery species is born, and can never be found because when they find it, it is something they already know about, so that can't be the mystery one.
so while i had the trunk open to pop it back in (while the cop was eagerly looking for any kind of drugs/guns/whatever) we heard a massive ROOOOOOOOAAAAARRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" coming from the right, deep in the woods. the cop who looked not much older than me (i was 23) turned white and said. "ok guys i'll let you off with a warning!" and he ran the fuck to his squad car and sped off leaving us there with whatever just made that sound in the woods. we booked out of there too and agreed we werent ever going to discuss what we heard because people would say we were talking about bigfoot and think us crazy or on drugs.
to this day i dont know what that was, it was likely a bear. we do have bear overpopulation in this state and we have to thin them out every couple of years. ive heard bear sounds many times and never once did it sound anything like that massive roar i heard as a young guy. that section of jersey i found out years later is a "hotspot" for people claiming to have seen or heard a bigfoot.
take this all with a grain of salt, i didnt see anything and sound gets distorted. but it was all very strange to me and i wanted no part of it. cause whatever made that sound must have been huge and the cop losing his shit and running away freaked me out.
