Interesting, story states that the Washington Tavern was standing in the early 1900's. I think that contradicts what I've read before. Maybe they were speaking of another structure that was present in that locale. Maybe not.

I wonder if they could be Indian burial mounds. More likely they may have piled dirt to mark the locations to help them find the areas upon return?

It burned down as I expected it would in my earlier posts.

I posted this in a similar thread regarding this house, but here it is again. I visited there once and I think I remember someone in the area telling it was MOVED because it was being vandalized. I don't know if that's true or not because I couldn't find anything more about it but it makes it...

I remember a pair would sun themselves across an inland body of water somewhere near Tuckerton when I was at Stockton College. People were gathered watching them from a bridge. They were fairly common down there I think. Nice photos btw!

Thanks for the identifications everyone. Sounds like it's most likely a Tulip Poplar or White Oak. I KNOW you guys would know it if I could show a leaf in a photo. Someone else will probably be down there before I get a chance, so if it comes to mind grab a leaf for identification. They are...

Here is the photo. I appreciate the help. Knowing some of you guys, I just thought someone would jump on it. Lotta' trees out there though! I'm sad to hear some are falling. Hope this one didn't.

Hey, do any of you guys happen to know the type of trees that line the old mill pond at Weymouth. I'm talking about the several very large trees that line the old pond near where the mansion used to be. I had a photo posted on facebook of me standing next to one and some guy guessed which...

They werre having problems a few years ago with aggressive "coyotes" near Earle Ammunition Depot in Monmouth County. I had heard that they had brought a "bigger" type of coyote there years back to kill deer. I had heard they were a larger, western breed but it seems likely after reading this...

It's gotta' be covered in Heart of the Pines, no?

I wrote to Weird NJ a while back asking them to withstand printing articles about fragile historical places in the Pine Barrens and they do seem to have avoided providing information on most of them although it may just have been that there aren't abandoned houses there to titilate the whole...

I have been to sooo many old places including abandoned buildings and ghostly spots and I have NEVER seen a ghost.

Burning them down is cheaper than conducting a demo.!

I've been inside the house before and I didn't find it to be creepy at all. I imagined it being a peaceful place to live.

I didn't look at photos but "orbs" are just dust particles that get illuminated at night.

I remember seeing pictures of an ingot from Taunton or Cumberland in one of the books. They were shaped kinda' like funnels with a small hole at the bottom. If the historical references to ingots I have come across are accurate, the ingots referred to in the old furnaces were not as described...

The ingot was the "tap" on the furnace. It was made of iron and would become clogged with impurities over time and would then be replace, usually with the hearth. These were laying around at many sites at earlier dates. There isn't a large ingot laying around at Martha as far as I've seen...

I wish they had posted the photo of the tree too. Great little article.

I will chime in to say that the "town" of Pasadena DID have a postal office in the early 1900's so there must have at least been something going on there. Does someone know if the parcels shown include the areas where houses are known to have been? I know there's a few cellar holes on the one...

This story is very sad and I feel lucky to have not have had those types of symptoms. I got Lyme in the early 1980's, before I remember ever hearing about the disease. I only know this now because I remember having 2 rashes on my legs that looked like cigarette burns and my Mother accused me...
