Weird NJ is a good source for stuff like this. ❤

Hello from the NJ Pinelands...I live in Medford but am an avid hiker and have hiked to or through most of these places...I am an EMT who responds to the Atsion area regularly... there are a surprising amount of unmarked dirt roads that you either know or don't know in that area... It is such a beautiful natural area.... we need to keep it that way!!!!!!!

As a teenager in NJ in the 90s, there was a story that we heard about a village of little people somewhere in southwest NJ. All the buildings were little. They would attack you if you entered their village. Does anyone else remember hearing something like that?

Fun (personal) fact! The opening scene is where I was married in 1997! We were married outside of the glass World Financial Center. On a chartered yacht named Excalibur (which seems no longer in service, the one showing on searches in not it). It was a beautiful day, the best of my life.

I love old NJ history. I’m in Central NJ.

So many people praised this book Manifest the Unseen by Luna Rivers that I finally had to see for myself. No regrets whatsoever this book genuinely opened my eyes. Manifestation finally makes sense, and the changes Ive experienced are incredible. It deserves all the recommendations its getting. Don't sleep on this!

Living in Cape May is a true treat to living with the past. Our jobs are only steady in the summer and during the winter it’s a complete ghost town.

Hi there. I live in South Jersey, and I found this video very interesting. There was a shot of Lucy the Elephant during the Cape May segment. Lucy resides in Margate, NJ and it is by the ocean. You can tour Lucy, and there is even books about her history. Thanks for a fun peek. Peace

I explore New Jersey ghost towns since 1977 .I know of some more and visited Liberty New York and other New York ghost towns. Thanks for choosing my State I have lived in for over 60 years.

It’s so sad to see so many abandoned towns in New Jersey when homelessness is at a whole time high in New Jersey

@barrywainwright3391 1 year ago (edited)

There are more ghost towns in NJ than all out west. You forgot Speedwell, Ongs Hat, Job Swamp, Caruso Village, Pasadena and many more.

@GaryAlgier 1 year ago

I live currently live in Shamong and have been to 6 of these towns. Wharton and nearby parks and forests are full of ghost towns, though some are little more than crossroads of dirt: Friendship, Martha, Speedwell, Pasadena, etc. and then there is Whitesbog, near Browns Mills. It is important as a once thriving cranberry plantation and where some of earliest high bush blueberries were commercially cultivated.

I am excited to say that I have visited all of the towns on your list, INCLUDING Ong's Hat

Waterloo village hosted Lollapalooza in the 90s, which in my memory, renewed the idea of another Woodstock.

I used to Stealth Camp near Hampton Furnace all the time!! Hiking along the railroad in the Winter time is something magical.!!!!

Wheaton village is a great day trip destination. Watch glass being hand blown . Its a great activity for famlies. I always took a fall trip with my kids . We loved it . South jeresy is very different than north Jersey

I grew up in NJ....been to a lot of these places. Still cool!

Love that you included Walpack Center, but there are also so many more abandoned homes and other named structures along the Delaware river part of flatbrookville and Layton due to the Tocks Island Dam project. Another site that always intrigued me was in Roxbury on Hercules Road. All of the houses there were abandoned after the Hercules plant closed…I think they’ve all been demolished as of a few years ago though

I can remember asa kid in school taking a field trip to Waterloo Village. The buildings were open a people dressed in clothes of the time explained the history.
