Haunted Gloucester, Salem and Cumberland Counties

The Jersey Devil isn’t the only supernatural entity that stalks the Garden State: Here are tales of pirates, patients, and prisoners, oh my! Few places are as obsessed with the paranormal as New Jersey, and the area once known as West Jersey is a hotbed of supernatural activity. The ghost of a young boy in Mannington appears to welcome guests and partygoers to a historic bed-and-breakfast. The tortured soul of a weathered sea pirate remains in Greenwich, still imprisoned after three hundred years. Malevolent spirits haunt the abandoned Salem County Insane Asylum, menacing those who dare venture to the solitary confinement rooms in the basement. Paranormal investigator and researcher Kelly Lin Gallagher-Roncace shares frightening New Jersey folklore that makes for great fireside storytelling. Includes photos! “During Gallagher-Roncace’s time as a reporter for the South Jersey Times, she created a weekly column called ‘Paranormal Corner,’ where she would divulge into anything ‘weird’— UFOs, Bigfoot, Jersey Devils and hauntings. Through her exploration with her paranormal investigation group Jersey Unique Minds Paranormal Society — also known as JUMPS — she experienced ‘the feels’ for the first time in the old Bunker Hill Presbyterian Church.” —The Washington Township Sun
