Anybody here do wierd NJ stuff?
 

Me and my boys were planning on taking a few road trips this summer to some wierd new jersey things...anybody ever come across any good ones?

Ive been to talamini road, devils tree, and tried to go on gravity hill but couldnt find it.

Lets hear some good ones

Jon

uhhh it's fun to scare people on any of the ones along 9w... dvils tower for example. the tourists, for a lack of a better word, freak otu pretty easily

done gravity road...its true u do "roll uphill"..which is pretty cool...did it back in 2000 when i was senior in high school... theres one called "annie's road" i believe. its around browertown rd exit on 46 west around little falls/totowa. sotry is a bride was killed on her wedding night there and walks the road at nite..long windy road...no lights.. freaks out chicks...lol..also did one around the delaware water gap about an abandomed town, whihc was fun, but people actually live there, though its like 5 houses and a church from the 1800s so it is a bit weird..something out of 'Deliverance' if you ask me. used to do weird nj spots when me and my frineds first started driving ( 1999/2000)

I've done Runyon Road (Kill Yourself Bridge), Clinton Road, Shades of Death Road, Devils Tower. I used to subscribe, I have the book, its autographed, lol.

I might have to buy all the ones I'm missing and re subscribe.

I did all the old ones. Gravity Road, Greystone Hospital, Midgetville or whatever its called, that old abandoned town near Sparta where everyone was murdered or something (very eerie), the WWII bunker place near Garfield (that would be fun to go back to and explore more), Overbrook Hospital, and a few others. I never found that abandoned carnival place, the old naval ship yard with the boats laying all over the place, or the devil house.

Steve does sheep, that's pretty weird....

LOL, Steve ever go to 'Bud's Garve' in the Highlands?

dont knock it til you try it! :razz:


I dont think I've been there, what is it?

i heard they knocked down the abandoned town though...anybody know if this is true?

has anybody ever been on a wierd new jersey trip where something creepy happened or did u just sight see

I think the best spot (I never went there) was Byberry Mental Hospital in Northeast Philly. It was knocked down in 2006, but DAMN was it creepy. I think I have a journal that one of the old orderlies wrote somewhere...

haha i would go to something like that..but the reason why they are abandoned is because of problems with the building. so i could be checking that place out and next think i know my head is cracked open by a falling brick or ceiling fan etc. also they are really good hideouts for criminals drug dealers etc.

I never went in because I didn't want to face the bums and criminals, etc. The buildings themselves were beat up but not ridiculously bad.

Clinton Road, Demons Alley, and Jungle Habitat are all in my town...and all 3 are crap if you ask me

the place were everyone was murdered is called Demon Alley. ive been there a few tiems. of course its all bullshyt. the real story is NJ watershed owned the street and houses on it, and housed employees there. something happened, they either shut down, moved, downsized, etc., and laid off the workers. just boarded up the houses, never tore them down.

done gravity hill. its just an optical illusion.
been to devils tower. just an eccentric millionaire's tower that he built.
been through clinton road. i know people who live there, hike there, hunted there, and nothing ever happened. never saw anything, heard anything, etc.

Thats awesome. I went to that prison in Philly, that place is spooky, and a lot of fun to look around in.

i went to admiral farrigate (spell?) in bayville. its not on weird nj i think, but it was an old boarding school that my friends dad went to. pretty cool. knocked down now. is there a site that offers info on where these places are? i'd like to check out a couple.

I drive on Shades of Death Road on a regular basis because its a fun road. There's really nothing eerie about it.

yeah, its 1/4 mile down the street from my house (i live on the road its off of)

one by one they were set on fire, pretty much because watershed wanted to knock them down, but they couldnt because 1. it was watershed and 2. it was historically protected, i think. so, someone set them on fire. i could see the orange glow in the sky from them

The fact that it's a stones throw from Island has nothing to do with it? :lol:

Nah, its not on my way home, but thats why I say I drive on it because its a fun road. It gets you nowhere other than being a long way to rt 80.

by 'someone', do you mean the town? I know with Overbrook, thats what happened. The towns/county wanted it gone but couldnt legally knock it down, so they set fires and told the fire department to stay put until significant damage was done. This was all before the property was eventually bought and everything left was bulldozed sadly. I still have a ton of pics from the place though :)

Here in Hopatcong,NJ 07843 in sussex county at the end of brookly Mt road there is an area of woods thats known to most people as Devils foot print. I do believe this has been featured back in the 90's in weird Nj. The woods has 2-3 abandoned cars. The way the trails are located, when looking from above the tree tops, the trails make out a devils foot print. I have heard stories that there is a cat that was fried to death inside a microwave and tossed out in the woods. I have yet to find that mircowave. In a part of one of the small rivers you cross, the dirt below the water has a dark red shade to it that makes the river appear as blood. Which its crazy i have seen it in person it really does. Espicially after a heavy rain. The woods was suppose to be build up into a huge housing neighborhood, but the town voted against it and now the land is protected i believe under the new jersey highlands act. Maybe Iroc-z86 can chime in if he knows any other stories. He lives close to this woods like me within 1.5miles of it.

i'm sorry, but how do you fry a cat in a microwave? the box didn't include instructions.

have a mircowave plugged in, place cat into door gently, enter 5mins into the timer, and enjoy the show. You now have a dead pussy.

:rofl:

I did a few with the guys from CI.

Devil's tree, hell's gate, Devil's tower, clinton road....all in one night. Whatever you guys do DO NOT take any weapons with you. They are cracking down(have been) on all the tourists going there with weapons to protect themselves. You get the picture.
