My niece lives in rural Pennsylvania. She has seen many of them, as have her neighbors. She says they emit a strong, unpleasant odor. Don’t know what kind of animal this is.
Always no camera.
No picture on game cams.
Lots of hunters in the woods.
Ask your niece what has she been smoking when she sees them.
Could be bears the smell PA has lots of them.
I’m in PA. I have 2 relatives that have seen one.
In northern NJ, back in the 1960s there was a lot of fuss over weird sightings at the Wanaque Reservoir. Ome thought the visitors were collecting water. I wonder how close that part of NJ is to the area in PA were the bigfoot sightings have been reported? Space beings coming to check on their experimental creatures?? There are a lot of articles if you enter “Wanaque Reservoir, NJ space ship sightings”. Here is one I looked at. I had left the region a few years earlier to attend college.
