A “terrified” driver called the police after spotting a “giant, soaking wet” Bigfoot on a road in New Jersey.

Keyara Klawitter was driving through New Jersey near the town of Batsto with her husband Jason and their children on the night of October 11 when a huge creature around eight-foot tall emerged onto the road and crossed right in front of the car.

Reporting the sighting to Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization, Keyara explained: “This happened around 10pm. I was driving with my husband and kids on the rural roads near Bass River.

“We drove along Route 542. As we rounded the bend where Loveland Lane merges into Route 542 ... I became terrified in a matter of seconds. Our high beams illuminated a massive figure up ahead stepping out from the right side of the road. I stepped on the brakes to slow down.”

She added of the beast: “It stood about eight feet tall. It was bulky, heavily built GIANT frame. It was covered in jet-black fur and it appeared to be soaking wet.

“Our headlights were reflecting off its fur. I saw enough detail to distinguish human-like hands and unusually long arms.

“It walked with a slight hunch but moved at fast speed. It didn’t take many steps for it to get across the road. Thing moved fast enough to look like it was gliding without actually gliding. Its arms swung like a human walks but with heavy reach.”

Keyara revealed her husband also saw the creature but she’s glad her children were asleep in the back sear.

She added: “I asked my husband if he was seeing the same thing I was ... He confirmed that he saw it. It cleared the span of Route 542 and vanished into the darkness.

“Thankfully our children slept through it in the back seat. I sped out of the area ... On the drive back home Jason [husband] told me about what we saw.

“Before then I knew almost nothing of a Bigfoot or a Sasquatch. I saw this giant creature with my own eyes. We know what we saw. It was definitely about eight feet tall.”

BFRO Investigator Jacob Korbel looked into the incident - revisiting the site of the sighting with the couple - and he revealed the pair called the authorities after they arrived home following the spot.

He wrote: “What they saw shocked them so much they ended up calling NJ State Park Police and the NJDEP (New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection) after they returned home.

“Those places said they didn’t deal with those types of incidents. The NJDEP referred them to the BFRO ...

“The entire time we were there [revisiting the site], the witnesses were visibly uncomfortable, scanning the woods often and looking over their shoulders at the woods, reluctant to separate from our group ...

“[I] believe the witnesses to be credible. They had a very normal, human reaction to seeing something they didn’t believe exists.”
