Sorry
@Wicked Garden ... but as soon as you mention Bigfoot, things go downhill rapidly around here.

My dictionary defines "paranormal" as:
"denoting events or phenomena such as telekinesis or clairvoyance that are beyond the scope of normal scientific understanding"
Do you think Bigfoot fits into that category? I'd argue that it doesn't, because it's presumably just an elusive animal of some sort that could be explained by science. I have an open mind about "paranormal experiences".... like someone seeing a vision of their grandmother in woods, then learning that she just passed away when they return home for example. But I just can't accept that there are large creatures like Bigfoot in the Pines. We like to think of it as a "vast wilderness", but it's not. It's full of roads, homes and people. Planes and helicopters constantly fly overhead. The Pines are a small part of one of the smallest and most densely populated states in the union.
If you look at some of the large, sparsely populated states in the Pacific Northwest, then you *might* make an argument for the existence of these mysterious creatures. But here in New Jersey.... well... (sorry) it just seems ridiculous to me.
What kind of experience did you have near the Carranza Memorial? Perhaps there could be a more serious discussion of that topic?
