Folklore, Ghosts, Scary Stories, Myths, Legends and Monsters in New Jersey

The nine witches that dwell among the rocks of the Great Falls of the Passaic River; the Lenape spirits of Ghost Lake in Jenny Jump State Forest, possibly the site of a Native American burial ground; the many apparitions of the historic Union Hotel, Flemington, including children's shoes that walk by themselves; strange phenomena at Ye Olde Centerton Inn in Pittsgrove, including the crying of a little girl; the kitchen worker and old woman (who likes children and favours room 10) in the Hotel Macomber, Cape May; and Captain Kidd's treasure, hidden on the Shark River (in a feature known as Coffin Island or Money Hill) and guarded by the spirits of six groaning and screaming buccaneers, some in skeletal form, are among the true ghost stories, myths and legends of New Jersey.

The duo of snooty Victorian ladies, Esmerelda and Minerva, who are said to haunt the Red Cottage, an inn at 22 Jackson Street, Cape May; the fog of Shades of Death Road (bordering Jenny Jump State Forest in Warren County), which follows cars and leaves footprints on them; the laughter of invisible children and other ghostly phenomena at the Grenville Hotel in Bay Head; the mysteries of Fairy Hole cave, a Native American sacred site near Ghost Lake; the story of Jenny who leapt to her death, from Jenny Jump Mountain, to escape from a Native American warrior; and the paranormal phenomena of the Neshanic Inn (formerly Murphy's Crocodile Inn) in Neshanic Station, are other legendary tales of ghosts and haunted places in New Jersey.
