Haunted New Jersey

Phantom pirates, water monsters, and mythical snakes figure prominently in this collection of eerie tales from the Garden State. From this state's bucolic, rolling farmland to its heavily populated shore come a variety of stories and legends, including a murderer whose body parts were used for medical (and other) experiments, the "White Pilgrim" who died of the disease he believed he could never get, and an Indian chief who used a swastika to protect a group of defenseless schoolgirls.
