Haunted Jersey Shore

Things that go bump in the night, disembodied voices, footsteps in an empty stairwell, an icy hand on your shoulder ... let your imagination run wild as you read about the Jersey Shore's most extraordinary apparitions, sinister spooks, and bizarre beasts. You may know of the New Jersey Devil or the pirate ghosts at Cape May Point, but perhaps you haven't heard about:Captain Kidd's treasure, which sits guarded on the beach by the ghost of Timothy Jones, who lays in wait to get revenge on the pirate who back stabbed him; the Ghost Towns of the Pinelands, which sit abandoned and haunted only miles from busy tourist destinations; and the Confederate ghosts of Finn's Point, who can be seen marching on foggy nights, bitter and vengeful.

Charles A. Stansfield Jr., a New Jersey native,was a professor of geography at Rowan University for 41 years. He authored 11 books on the paranormal.
