New Jersey Vegetable Monster is an expression used by cryptozoologists and other researchers of anomalous phenomena and the paranormal to describe a sighting or incident that has exceptionally poor evidential support.
According to psychologist Leonard George, the term originated with a sighting reported by a single drunken witness, who claimed to have observed a humanoid resembling a giant stalk of broccoli. The original sighting, which allegedly occurred in the New Jersey Pine Barrens, was likely attributable to a case of delirium tremens.
