Haunted Places in New Jersey

From dense forests offering miles of winding trails- where it's told ghoulish creatures roam after dark, to aged prisons whose long dormant cells are stalked by the restless spirits of prisoners still serving time from beyond the grave. Are you ready to explore some of the most haunted places in New Jersey?

I love creepy places in New Jersey.

In the Spring Semester 1974, hundreds of students assembled in the Bunce Hall quad. There was a rumor that a bunch of streakers were going to show up. I went, lost patience, and walked back to Linden Hall dorm. The streakers did show up later. Someone took pictures. They were in the centerfold of the monthly student magazine, with certain body parts covered up. A picture of the motorcycle-riding streaker was included. ETA this was at Glassboro State College. It had a name change around 2000(?). It’s name now is Rowan University.

[@amethystanne4586]

There is a very nice mariners compass as part of the paving that surrounds the Absecon Lighthouse.

[@anenglishmanamerican]

I was just curious guy wanted to search that if my home state has creepy places, and I am not disappointed. Thank you, sir.

[@richholoch8230]

I grew up near Jenny Jump - in Sussex County. The creepiest place in NJ that I remember was Greystone Park Psychiatric Hospital. We used to drive by it on our way to our friends house - and I swear - even when it was still operating - in the middle of the day it was very scary. I don't know if its still in service - its been a long time.

[@amethystanne4586]

Greystone was featured in an episode of the TV show “House”. Lin Manuel-Miranda(“Hamilton”) was in that particular episode.

[@kirkstinson7316]

LONG gone. There is a new building/hospital but ALL the old buildings were torn down.

[@andrewscolari5724]

Well done as always

[@BennilocoLoves]

New Sub! 😁You're a lot easier to listen to, then CHILLS.. Even though he highlighted one of my haunted videos, his voice still makes him hard to listen to! 😁

[@amethystanne4586]

I am from Hunterdon County. So much interesting historical information!

[@faybassett1730]

Actually there are more scary places in NJ. You need to look into places in Cape May. There are places haunted there and the surrounding area. Also look into Leeds Point. It is where the Jersey Devil was born. There also a house in Pennsauken Nj that was built on supposedly Indian Burial ground. The house was built in 1695. It is surrounded by factories. I worked in the office near that house and we used have strange things happen. Twice the generator on the pole out side the office window caught on fire or just blew up. We had the machines in the plant stop working suddenly. It was just weird. New Jersey has so much history and haunted places. Great place to live

[@FrightNightScares]

Thanks for tuning in, Fay! We'll definitely take those down and (after we make sure we haven't covered them in any other lists) throw them on the board! Any other special requests?

[@julietteoscaralphanovember2223]

Which house in Pennsauken? I lived on Merchantville Ave in the 80's. My ex still lives there.

[@frankgraham1996]

Go the Newark where the New Jersey Devils play hockey now.

I’m a native to New Jersey I live in Secaucus,

[@Railhog2102]

I'm from Bergen County not too far from u

[@StrangeEncounters728]

The paramount theatre/convention hall is one of New Jersey’s most haunted places spend an overnight there guarding Springsteens equipment from stage lights going on to water running upstairs to screams electrical devices malfunctioning to faces appearing on the curtains I would dare anyone to walk upstairs in that burned hallway office and bathroom no matter how tough or fearless you think you are bring five flashlights and they all will die and the fear you will face will stop you from walking down to where the dancers were trapped

[@eyekink]

oh god

[@tanyakerr3753]

Great video's

[@susanbailey3715]

,I always thought that the mothman was West Virginia and not new Jersey thank you peace be with you all in Jehovah's name psalms83(18)kjb

[@kimayoung81]

Yes moth man is West Virginia

[@julietteoscaralphanovember2223]

Mothman is in west Virginia, jersey devil, nj

[@kimayoung81]

My mom grew up in mount holly and I remember one time while we were ther on vacay we toured the jail. Definitely had a feeling of being watched but never saw anything

[@FrightNightScares]

Thanks for tuning in, Kim! That's spooky!! Have you been to any of these other haunts?

[@scottb.4472]

I graduated from Rowan University and I have never heard of anything being haunted there lol one thing I would put on this list and I think it’s in Atlantic Highlands or somewhere near there is a place called Bud’s Grave….. so supposedly there was a young boy and I think he got struck and killed by a car and it might’ve been right in front of his house and so if you drive by this house to this day, I believe a lot of his toys are still scattered across the front lawn and they have been there ever since it might not be the creepiest thing but with the backstory and I’m sure at night it’s probably very creepy

[@PurpleLuvEyes]

AWESOME BERGEN COUNTY GIT FRIENDS ALL OVER AMERICA REAL COOL 😎 THANKS JERSEY CITY HEIGHTS LORETTA AWESOME

[@FrightNightScares]

Thanks for tuning in, LAR! Have you been to a lot of these locations?

[@truegamer2819]

in my own opinion, every prison is hunted

[@jerzeys2finest89]

What about Barneget elementary school?

[@dmmchugh3714]

Another great site is the Baylor Massacre Park in Bergen County. Our Revolutionary War soldiers camping there were ambushed and murdered by the British. Their bodies were buried under a millstone. The park is actually lovely and shady with a monument to the dead soldiers. However it is said that the footsteps of the ambushing British can be heard through the woods.

[@davemi3213]

I call bs on the Flanders hotel why would a haunting be attributed to a war that ended 5 years before it was built?

[@julietteoscaralphanovember2223]

The land

[@SavageBunnyGetMoney]

I always wonder who would win the Jersey Devil or the Mothman ? 🤔

[@BennilocoLoves]

How about The Metedekonk witch?😱

I would like a “haunted places of Clifton,New Jersey” video because I’m a native of Clifton and I don’t live anywhere near these places. As a kid & even now I always wanted to go to Sleeping Hollow for Halloween after I read Washimgton Irving’s famous tale of terror

[@xynesq150]

Sup Clifton. I heard about a tunnel that has a community of oompa loompas ( M words) that kill people, or something like that. Did u hear about that?

[@TheFinalBoss25]
