Haunted Places to Visit in New Jersey
94
1.) Burlington County Prison Museum
128 High St., Mt. Holly, NJ
Built in 1811 the building served as a prison for 154 years before shutting down in 1965. Criminals convicted of a capital crime during that time were all sentenced to death by hanging. In the prison yard out back, you can still see remnants of where the gallows once stood. The fact that the overall appearance of the prison has remained unchanged throughout the years is one factor that makes it a prime candidate for a haunting. Other contributing factors are the imprints left behind in the form of writings and drawings on the cell walls, a tape that plays "Sounds of Prison Life" constantly on speakers throughout the prison, and realistic looking mannequins resembling prisoners placed randomly among the three floors. Museum workers report seeing apparitions on the first floor, ghosts "with no legs" floating on a path from the massive front door toward the small backdoor leading into the prison yard. But the most activity takes place on the third floor -- Death Row. Smack in the center of the row of cells sits the gloomiest room, originally designed to hold a death row inmate during his last 24 hours. In 1908 it was turned into a tool of punishment and reinvented as a solitary confinement chamber. Convicted murdered Joel Clough supposedly haunts this dungeon frequently. The cell just to the right of the dungeon has an extremely bad vibe as well. Visitors frequently report intense stomach pain that attacks upon entering the room, but subsides as soon as they leave. You'll know you're in the right room because there is a sketch of a tree on the wall near the window. Perhaps it was drawn by a forlorn prisoner gazing outside at the world beyond and longing for a taste of freedom...
2.) Old Jake Brown Road (NIKE missile base)
Route 9 South, Old Bridge, NJ
At the end of Old Jake Brown Road sits a group of small, one-family houses that were obviously abandoned---in a great hurry. The homes were probably inhabited by employees of NIKE, since a locked fence at the back of the tiny community leads to the old missile base that was deserted in the early 1970's. What no one knows is why the base and it's surrounding homes were deserted so quickly. If you go inside any of the houses, you will find furniture in every room, family photos still in frames and nailed to the walls, trash cans that were never emptied, rotting food in the cupboards, and stacks of newspapers from the 1970's in the attic.
3.) Monmouth Battlefield--Old Tennent Church
448 Tennent Road, Manalapan, NJ
Monmouth Battlefield was the site of the longest battle to be waged during the American Revolution. Supposedly, a young soldier was resting against a large oak tree near a church when a cannonball fired by the British hit him, taking off his entire arm, and starting the battle of Monmouth. On June 28, 1778, after several long, hot hours of battle, the American army emerged victorious. But the casualties were many. The church was quickly converted to a makeshift hospital. Legend has it that there was so much carnage that doctors and nurses were wading around in blood up to their ankles. Saw marks can still be seen on the church pews from where soldiers had limbs amputated (without anesthesia). Making this site doubly interesting is the local legend of an alleged witch who died in the 1600's, an outcast, whose only departing wish was to be buried at the center of the new cemetery up on the hill. Of course, town officials did not honor this wish and buried her instead on the outskirts. However, over time, the cemetery grew larger and larger, extending out in several directions on all sides of the hill. Today, what was once the outskirts of the small graveyard has become the exact center. Visitors frequently catch a scent of ginger or vanilla when they are close to the witch's resting place.
4.) Charlie Brown's Steakhouse
109 Grand Avenue, Hackettstown, NJ
Over 250 years old, this restaurant once served as a hotel and, before that, a brothel. In the 1800's a man hung himself from the enormous tree that still stands out front. His ghost has been captured in photographs of the outside and his voice picked pick up on audio recorders. This place is an absolute hot spot for capturing EVPs (electronic voice phenomenons). Only two of the three floors are open to the public, but if you can make friends with a waitress, hostess or manager, they'll be glad to show you the third floor if you sign a waiver saying you will not hold them liable for any injury that may occur since the third floor is the most active but is also in a state of disrepair. Supposedly a woman who frequented the building when it was a brothel used to rent the room at the end of the wing, the only one with it's own bathroom. She used to bring her toddler son with her to "work" and lock him in the bathroom while she entertained her guests. Because the walls were so thin, other guests could hear the child crying out for his mother from behind the bathroom door. The story here gets hazy, but either the woman had just gotten out of the bath when a client showed up and she had no time to drain the water and her son drowned in the bathtub or, bereft with grief over the twist her life had taken, she committed suicide by drowning her son and then drowning herself. This section of the third floor is CREEPY. Intense stomach pains hit virtually anyone who passes through there, and cold spots are often felt. The little boy is said to roam the third floor, still seeking his mother. My own mother and I were investigating this room when we picked up an EVP of a child's voice saying "Mommy". Further down the hall there have been sightings of a man in a hat roaming near the exit sign.
5.) Rose Hill Cemetery
Ravine Drive, Matawan, NJ
Go for the three hundred year old masoleums, stay for the intriguing headstones and the almost-certainty of EVPs. But leave before it gets dark, because that's when the bats come out, and they are not afraid to divebomb your head. There's no crazy legend or local tale behind this cemetery, founded during the Revolutionary War. For some reason it is just ripe with paranormal activity. Winding roads and a hilly terrain make it great for exploring, and it seems to interact very well with devices such as divining rods (used in dowsing, a divination that detects the presence of electromagnetic fields aka spiritual presences) and pendulums (essentially a weight on the end of a string that also reacts to electromagnetic presences; can also be asked questions and commanded to swing in a straight line for yes, swing in a circle for no). When my mother and I visited Rose Hill, she had a pendulum with her and I suggested that she swing it over a particular grave and ask those resting there a question. Later, upon playback of the audio recorder we had with us at the time, we discovered that we had picked up a voice saying insistently, "No, no, no!" right after I asked my mom to hold the pendulum over the grave.

Hi Rose, wow, thanks so much for linking to me from your page! I really appreciate it, and thanks again for the compliment, I'm glad I could share :)
im trying to start a group. I live in toms river new jersey. I wanted to ask how you get permision from all the places you investigate. and also can you recomend a place that would be a simple place to start for a new group thank you
Hey Ryan, thanks for the comment. I'm actually not too far from where you live, about 30 minutes. Anyway, the reason we do most of our ghost hunting at cemetaries is because they are usually city-owned and open to the public. As long as you go between normal visiting hours (usually it's posted that they're open form sunrise to sunset) you aren't doing anything wrong and don't need special permission--just like everyday people don't need special permission to visit their loved ones graves.
If you're looking for places indoors to investigate, your best bet is historial buildings. The Burlington County Prison Museum (pictured above) and Eastern State Penetentiary in Philly, for example, are notoriously haunted and they profit off this by letting ghost hunters come in to visit during any normal operating hours. If you're looking for a special late-night investigation, both places offer special deals specifically for ghost hunting groups, you'd just have to give them a call. We don't get into all that, we just go during the day and always see excellent results.
Once in a while we attend the NJGHS annual conferences, which usually involve a ghost hunt to some old, notorious building, but there's so many people there that it makes picking up EVPs insanely difficult.
I'd say just start out at a cemetary, the older the better, and it seems to help if the cemetary has like a school or a church or some other type of building located on the property. Let me know how it goes! becauseilive@hotmail.com
I live right next too the old tennet church and my moms friend's brother in law runs the cemetary and if you wanna investagate all the stuff at night what i do alot it is very fun email me if you want to investagate
Awesome hub!
I keep telling people that ideas for low budget horror films are everywhere, and in my book, I talk about finding all of the local legends and hot spots for dead activity as a source of inspiration and cool b roll shots.
This hub plays right into that. What a great bunch of creepy spook filled places, just waiting to pass out chills.
Great hub!
Very interesting content here! I'd love to check out Rose Hill or Tennent Church. Never been ghost hunting before. Also know of a few places near Manasquan that have supposed paranormal activity
The Burlington County Prison will be the subject of a Ghosthunter's investigation on The Sci Fi Network, to be shown on March 12th, 2008. Undoubtedly it will be in reruns, too. It will be interesting to see what they come up with. It's obviously a spooky place with a strong history. The fact that it has been undisturbed can only lend to the ambiance. The NIKE site sounds extremely interesting, too. Other sites state that the abandoned houses are still the exact same as they were left in the 70's, complete with newspapers and 70's decor, which was abandoned in a hurry.
Pretty cool,But i can attest i live very close,very close to the tennant cemetary....They are all dead and dont make a peep...trust me on this one i lived here for over 7 years and been out back late nights day time holloween storms etc.etc never seen anything..yet anyway..
Just wanted people to check out Shadows Paranormal website. We have done some cool places and are doing more in the future.
shadowsparanormalresearch.com By the way April 12th we are in Burlington county Prison

I'd like to find out about a cemetary in Carlstadt, New Jersey.
The Berry Town Cemetary on 7th st.
I was told there are 3 witches buried there. Do you know anything about this OR possibly direct me to a site with further information?
Thank you.
VLW
is is cool
I'm in somers point, new jersy and I am currently interested in locating a haunted, house, mansion or grounds. Anywhere in Somers point, ocean city, marmora, or any place near that would be perfect I am trying to find a place where I can stay the night and hopefully have some paranoraml experiences. Thank you.
I live around the block from berry cemetery. There are witches there and you can only see the engraving on the tomb stones in the moonlight.
I used to live on the 3rd floor of "Charlie Brown's Steak House". It was called "The Clarendon" back then in the 70's. I had the room with the bathroom. I waitressed there. Another waitress and the dishwasher lived up there and so did the manager and his girlfriend. Although I never saw or heard anything ghostly, I promise you, a lot of "Unearthly" happenings took place up there !!!!! :) :) ):
I used to work in Hackettstown and eat at the Claredon/Charlie Browns all the time. I now live just a few miles form there and have heard the storys of ghostly goings on. It's good to hear that things haven't changed.
I've been to the Berry Town cemetary before. It's pretty cool. Although I never found the gravestone with the witches, all my photos come up with crazy amounts of orbs and stuff. Also at one point I felt like someone was pinching me. It was weird. What area of the cemetary is it in? If you're going down Wood-Ridge St. or whatever it turns to away from Wood-Ridge and more into Carlstadt, what area?
Ohha, wowee! I never "new" new jersey had this to show meh! I was born there but I moved, but reading this makes me wanna go back! Thanks becauseilive, this is a wonderful article and I can't wait to see more of your work! Byesies!

I live close to Manasquan. Where is there paranormal activity??
Thanks
trying to start a group out of cent new jersey if anyones intrested please leave a comment here i am only a ammature
Hi I'm wondering if anyone knows of any good places i can check out up in Northern New Jersey Sussex/Morris county area?
a good place may be in Atco. NJ. look it up in google for more info. i heard its pretty good and works !
Creepy! I walked by that old jail one day (on the other side of the street) but I was afraid to go in! I'll definitely have to check out some of those places.
I just love haunted places but yet I've never been to one. Go figure!
Hey..went searching for the abandoned veterans village near ancora psych. hospital tonight--wandered around the woods for a while and no luck. Most sites say they've all been torn down but I couldn't even find foundations or clearings or anything. Anyone have any info?? Anyone in this area know of any other places to check out?
You FOOLS! There are no ghosts! Sure, there are really cool, spooky places in N.J. but none of them are truly "haunted". Not such a long time ago, people used to think volcanos and earthquakes were wraths of angry gods. Later on we figured out plate-techtonics -oh, no otherworldly powers just magma moving around in the earth. What people think are "ghosts" or "EVP's" are just odd acts of nature that we haven't figured out yet. Basically, what we NOW think is the SUPERNATURAL will eventually be explained as the NATURAL world. And there's plenty of that man still has yet to understand...
I found myself reading your hub from top to bottom. I'm into real estate and somehow I find myself lucky that I have not been involved with property that event hints at hauntings. Good hub.
I am involved in houses for auction and I've never heard that and if any of them were or are haunted. Still, interesting hub you have here.
i live in Lanoka harbor and my house is haunted! I was going to join a ghost hunting group in brick new jersey but just didn't have the time!They meet once a year at a restaraunt and do a slide show of their hauntings for the year. I went to the restaraunt and saw it that's how i know.
Am surprised not to see the Spy House listed here. In Port Monmouth, cited as one of the top three haunted locations in the US by US News and World Report.
i live around the block from the berry cemeterey on 7th street , and i would like to noe if anybody noes what the tombstone looks like of the 3 witches. if anybody noes email me! ImEMOsoDEALwitIT@aim.com
I live in Barnegat, NJ near the Quaker Meeting house. They have their own cemetary. Does anyone know if there are any haunded places in Barnegat or about that cemetary. Are there any hauntings from KKK activity? I heard back in the day KKK was active in and around this area. Creepy
Hey Chickenlady, You wanted to know a place about KKK Hauntings and the most strangest place to go, Its Wippawill Road(hope its spelled right) in Middletown,N.J, but there is some crazy things that happens their at night their is a trail also that brings you to a very old cabin with peoples names carved in, and next to that is Cooper, another be careful tho,
Hey Dave, thanks for the info. I am not into KKK, but I heard my town, back in the day, was very involved. You spelled Middletown correctly. The info sounds interesting, but I doubt any of my friends would go with me on some trail. Maybe I'll get someone to go with me during the day if it isn't posted property. I'm not into breaking laws.

this place is really cool..this guy has a whole bunch of stuff to check out. but dont try getting out of your car and exploring the abandoned trains, they will call the cops on you!!!

Hey Rob from Depford, where is Green cemetary?
Hello,
My name is Kimberly Laws. My mother told me about a haunted cemetery that is in Newark, N.J. It had something to do about a 4-ft,hooded person when you come to these two trees, he takes you on a trail,he stops and points to a tree and you see yourself hanging from a tree. I don't know the name of that cemetery. Can you help me please?
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
kim Laws
chickenlady: I grew up in Barnegat in the 1970s and early 80s and I clearly remember the KKK marching down Village Drive down the road to Barnegat Blvd. Elementary School. My mom would hide me from the window (I'm half black!) but I found it all quite fascinating. Don't know about any haunting, though.
Hi Brett,
We moved here 1989 and my kids said they learned the name of a road called monkeytown road or something like that. The school libertarian was giving them town history. you wouldn't find that in the history books. They went to EVES. are you familiar with that? I know Village Drive and I know there is a cemetery that was only for black people by the new HS.
I drove down Old Jake Brown Rod today and there are no houses left, it appears that they've all been torn down. :( Disappointing.
hi i am the lead investigator for nnjgh and if anyone can use our teams help in any way and any possible haunting please let us know...thanks...steve
Brett,
I grew up in Barnegat's Settlers Landing. I remember sometime right about 1980 when my family moved from Schooner Avenue to Tiller Drive, we walked right through a Klan rally. They were at a fenced in home on the left (heading from BBES) at the corner of Schooner and Village. I'm trying to figure when that happened for my own life history timeline.
Grew up around mt. Holly and made visit to the prison. As I came to the womens cells I heard a voice and all for I know I was the only one who made visit that day.

Why investigate a grave yard? How many deaths have u heard of that happen at a cemetery? Orb's are NOT good evidence... It could be a lot of things. Dust/dirt, Precipitation, a bug. I am a believer but some people are just naive and dense
@Roy - I agree that orbs are nothing to write home about. I don't get excited about them anymore. However, we have gotten some of our best EVPs at graveyards...who can really say why? The first one we captured was at a Quaker cemetery around twilight, it's a man's voice saying, "You look like death." At other small, local cemeteries that have graves from the 1700s we've captured someone screaming "Get me out!" and an authoritative man's voice saying, "We must wait until they go home." Where do you normally investigate?

I grew up with Rose Hill Cemetery next to my house. Lived there 17 years...cemetery still had semi-regular burials at that point. The cemetery was a great place to play - sleigh riding around all the headstones, carving our initials in the big tree, ice hockey on the pond, hide and seek, great view of Raritan Bay and NYC skyline, etc. This place was so much fun to live next to. NEVER in my 17 years of living next to the cemetery did I or any of my friends (living on all sides of the cemetery except Ravine Drive) experience anything at all strange.
You can go there with your meters and whatever other Ghostbuster devices you have...I lived there. Nothing's going on there except dead people. Great, quiet neighbors.
Carry on.
Sorry to rain on your parade.
To NONA, YES THERE ARE MANY PLACES IN SUSSEX COUNTY WITH PARANORMAL ACTIVITY, VERNON TOWNSHIP, HIGHLAND LAKES/BARRY LAKES AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST "WAWAYANDA STATE PARK" I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SEE SPIRIT'S AND THEY TRY TO COMMUNICATE WITH ME...BUT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO'S BEEN IN THESE PLACES WHEN PARANORMAL ACTIVITY OCCURS ..I BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE WITH A STRONGER 6TH SENSE STAND OUT LIKE A BEACON SO TO SPEAK TO SPIRITS, AND THAT IS THEY COMMUNICATE OR MAKE THEMSELVES KNOWN ...I KNOW ..BECAUSE IT'S HAPPENED THROUGHOUT MY WHOLE LIFE SINCE I WAS 4 OR 5 YEARS OF AGE.
I went to the burlington county prison museum, which is right in front of the modern one, btw. I kinda get sensitive in "ghostly" areas, and in this one area i felt a heaviness on my chest and i had a headache and felt woozy. My camera want working, either. When i walked out of that area, it went away. When i asked the park ranger downstairs, he said, "up there? Its usually the basement that gets people. But that was where people waited to be executed." So please listen to me and be carefull of the upper left wing of the burlington prison museum.
The weirdest place I ever been to in all haunted places is in San Antonio,Tx next to an airport strip and along side that is separated by old train tracks,my people told me that live out there has always told me many years ago one day along side those same old train tracks a road flows parallel to it a school bus wit kids were on that bus and the road at the end crosses over the train track suddenly the bus stopped on the tracks and a train came and killed all the children including the driver.And it was said and I didn't believe it until I went out there myself with them,it was said that if u take ur car and drive it on the same train track and roadway were the children got killed,park ur car right on the road and the track put ur car in neutral and get out of the car but leave ur car lights on and to have baby powder with u,go to the back of the bumper and sprinkle baby powder all over the bumper then step way to the side of the road and carry flashlights, with u and make sure all this is done late at nite,and wow low and behold ur car will mysteriously be pushed forward and pushed safely to the right side of the road,and if u don't believe wat just happen take ur flashlights and walk to the the back of the car and flash it over the bumper and u will see that all the little kids finger prints on the back of the bumper! This will scare the hell out of u cus I didn't believe it myself until my cousins took me, that road is mysterious, because that ain't the only thing that happen to us that same nite. That road is also a long road and we were leaving and all of a sudden a mysterious car came from out of nowhere flashing high and low beams swerving like crazy in the road tryna run us off the road,this went on for a good 5 minutes,now wen ur in a car on a nite like that on a spooky road that don't have lights wat so ever that 5 minutes will seem like 5 hours,as we got almost near to the end of the road all of a sudden the sane car that was flashing us tryna run us off the road the car just floor right pass us and we all said wow,did u just see that there wasn't no one driven,much less no one was even in the car and the car drive up ahead and just simply disappeared into thin air! Hope u liked my story and this is all true and a well documented street in Tx.
I've actually been to every place on your list except for Charlie Browns Steak House, though I've heard of it a great deal. You just can't do an investigation there without getting prior approval, which of course can be tricky and/or expensive. I've been everywhere from Philadelphia to Gettysburg to Salem, MA but have yet to get anything diffinative. That isn't to say I haven't gotten orb photos and once a strange very light growl on my recorder, but that's about it. I'm still going to keep trying, and I still believe in the paranormal. Something I think people just get lucky and other times they don't. And you have to stay in one place for a long time something to get things, which I have to admit I haven't really done. We're always moving around, snapping pics and stuff. One interesting place I really like is in Lambertville, NJ, appropriately named the "Lambertville High School" (just outside of New Hope, PA). It's abandoned and as run down as it gets, but it's really a cool place to explore. And super creepy. Just be careful, it's pretty defunct and rotting in some places plus, your not actually supposed to be there. I haven't had any problems yet (knock on wood) just go in a small group during daylight.
**Side note: For anyone looking for the NIKE Missile Base in Old Bridge, NJ, I was just looking for it today and could not find it for the life of me. We even put in the GPS coordinates for it, but alas, just ended up in a very residential neighborhood on Jake Brown Rd. We checked high and low, even a pathway that looked promising that only led to a cell tower. Perhaps it is simply not there anymore? Any info, email me please at babyphatlove0707@yahoo.com. Thanks!**
Oh, the irony. I just wrote a comment not five minutes ago about how I really never got an conclusive evidence on all my ghost adventures and it got me in the mood to listen to a couple evps "sessions" that I have not listened to yet. Listening to recordings for possible evps can get a little tedious at times. So i'd put it off.
This particular one I just listened to is amazing. It was only a 29 second long segment of recording and it was actually done three weeks ago at the Burlington Prison Museum (listed here, ironically enough). We were getting ready to clear out and we were the only two (other than the woman who runs the front desk) in the entire building. For anyone who's ever been there before, it's a kind of small but very interesting place. So in the recording you hear some knocks, obviously made by myself and my fiance. Than we stand still for a second, Dave (my fiance) says something soft and right afterward you hear a womans voice yell, "NO you can't touch her!" from what sounds like a couple rooms away. It's incredibly loud and clear. Definitely a Class A evp. I'm thrilled because I've never gotten a word let alone a sentence like this, and with such clarity to boot! So, I guess I retract my former statement :)
Great Thread! We are a group in Central NJ. We have investigated lots of famous and client homes, and are going strong.
Burlington County is nice and convenient. We have investigated there before and plan to go back in the next few months.
I am looking for any info on Freehold township - Tennent Church. Please let me know if anyone has info on this or Emley Church / Screaming Hill / Emley Hill Church.
Thanks!
didn't see anything on the cranbury inn. can't understand why i can't see the rest of the site.

Your articles here have very valuable information and I am very grateful to you for sharing them. I hope you don't mind, but I've linked to a couple of your articles in my blog's newest entry "Ghost Hunting For Newbies", located here: http://rosemyst72.bravejournal.com/entry/25254
Once again, thanks for sharing the info. I'm from South Jersey so this article was of particular interest to me. :-)
