i was always freaked out about mt. misery road after driving down it one day last summer. i noticed a house out of nowhere that had such creepy attributes... a camera was mounted on a tree and aimed at the front door. all of the shades were down on the windows and it was afternoon. after...

Luckilly nobody gave the exact location of the Hattie Chew house and if you know where Bulltown Road is, chances are good you have nothing to do with "Weird NJ". I too fear that every place I visit will next be published in that magazine. I love vistiting places like this but I never cause...

i highly recommend you do not buy this book. its like a compilation of the magazines and also several of the articles are FREE on the website... i went to that weird nj book signing too, nothing more than a presentation version of that same book. very business-like and not worth leaving work...

deltona tire is not 5 minutes from where i live. i used to work at the pep boys right up the street too...

last night i drove down bulltown road. i thought i passed by an old abandoned house? are there any abandoned houses on this road or was what i saw just an old looking house?

if you are ever in mckee city, there are some interesting places to see: there is a church next to my development which was once a synagogue, it was built in the 1800s and was one of the few synangogues in the area. almost across the street you can find chicken coups which seem out of place...

it is a well known fact that chucks's hideaway (formerly brownie's) in egg harbor twp (steelmanville/bargaintown) was once a meeting place of the local kkk. not that this proves anything but there is an old barn right behind the restaurant.

interesting postcard. i actually live in mckee city. i have done some historical research of the area and visited some old roads and building sites. if you go in the woods behind my house there are even old farm trenches. mckee city was once a big farming area... luckilly for me, the train...

also, please feel free to check out my galleries of weymouth (i often go swimming here in the summer) (also, i once found an in tact 2-man saw along the road with the old house, while metal detecting at the base of a huge tree)...

The Marlboro Slaughterhouse?

Hello all, I feel very strongly about this topic and unfortunately, my feelings are split... First of all, every time I visit any place of historical interest, I cannot help but notice things like beer cans, spary paint, and destruction... This hurts me to see this happen. I could not...

Bodine Field is indeed a campsite behind the Harrisville ruins. I camped here over the summer. It is right on the river and overall, a great place to camp. Also, Mr. Delamo, whom wrote the book entitled Harrisville, is still alive and was my 5th grade math teacher. He used to run a group...

Just a heads-up to anyone that is fond of the Brooksbrae Brick Company... The newest edition (#21) of Weird Nj magazine will feature an article about Pasadena. This is very unfortunate, as I was very fond of the brick company site and after this issue comes out, it will surely be destroyed in...

I too have chiggers on both feet from last Saturday's exploration of the Egg Harbor City Brickworks.

anyone hear about this thing they are calling a "blob" that washed up in the bay at little egg harbor? an e-bay customer asked me about it first and said that he saw it on CNN... -Benny

yes, the baptist cemetary is what i mean. by the way... has anyone been able to locate anything of interest at Catawba besides the one gravestone? it has been a while since I was there but i never really noticed any cellar holes or foundations or anything really. i metal detected all over...

hmmm... not really a hidden graveyard but if you like old graves, there is still 1 gravestone left at Catawba. another neat but secluded grave is the Shaller grave in Egg Harbor. if you need directions let me know. also, in more forgotten towns, Beck mentions that there is an older...

those orbs are rain drops...

I am only posting this because most of the members here live in South Jersey... Does anyone know of any junkyards for car parts in the South Jersey area? I have been to most in the Atlantic County area but its a hobby and I wish to check out more in South Jersey. Thanks, -Benny
