Welcome. This October, the Garden State turns restless. The Jersey Devil stirs in the Pines, ghost pirates keep their watch along the coast, and the Morro Castle still haunts Asbury Park. We remember Confederate POWs laid to rest in New Jersey, Hessian soldiers pacing their posts in Trenton, and Patriot ghosts whispering across Princeton’s fields. Each story unfolds as a stand-alone episode in our Haunted NJ series—while our regular-season promise holds: rich history, vivid storytelling, and the strange but true that makes New Jersey… New Jersey.
