Define lonely and creepy :-).. If you mean deathly quiet, its actually
inviting.. I have been to a few places around South Jersey, and from that site,
they make Cape May to be the most haunted town in Jersey.. I actually liked
that town for its natural – almost untouched landscape.. Those little streams
and small waterfalls (I think its called Childs Fall) were pretty places..
Sinking sand is not as treacherous as it is made out to be. if you can swim in
water which is a whole lot less denser than sinking sand , you can ‘swim’ on
sinking sand.. The key here is swim – and not try to walk or run away.. you
literally lay down and crawl out of it as if you were swimming.. So unless
there is some deadly creature like an alligator or a crocodile around, there is
not much to worry about.. I had seen a show once on Discovery channel where
some expert said it’s the fear and myth around how dangerous sinking sand can
be, that makes most people panic and become victims of it..

I grew in South Jersey. I can’t vouch for any of these tales, but I can tell
you there’s over a million acres of pines trees & sand called the “Pine
Barrens” in NJ.
The Pine Barrens are as beautiful, lonely & creepy as it gets. Miles & miles of
two lane roads with scrubby pine trees on either side. Every so often there’s a
sandy one lane trail off to one side or the other. Turn off onto one of these
roads. It just gets lonelier & creepier. You might find a quarry but don’t get
too close – you could be up to your knees in sand & still sinking before you
know it. You might see an old wreck of an abandoned car with bullet holes in
every square inch.
And then there are the remains of what looks like an animal carcass. Now try to
find your way back out to the main road.
The Pine Barrens is where the Jersey Devil is said to live. It was also an
episode of The Sopranos, the one where Paulie & Christopher take a Russian
mobster into the woods (the Pine Barrens), end up getting lost & have to spend
the night in an abandoned vehicle.
No wonder many of the places listed on the web page are in or around the Pine
Barrens.

Is there any truth to it??? Was it ever investigated? Or is it just a
widespread rumor?

I grew up in Raritan, NJ and the old librarian is the mother of 4 boys. No
wonder she is still moving around checking that things are the way they are
supposed to be. Like we do when we send test transactions through our systems.
Thanks for the memories.

I tend to have an interest in ‘supernatural’ phenomenon's, and a random
search for haunted places in New Jersey yielded this result.. I really wonder
how many of these are really authentic claims.. My guess leans towards none..
Anybody living in any of these listed cities that may have heard or know
anything first hand about any of these listed sites???
