October 2nd @ 7PM in Council Chambers

​

Participants will explore the unique, mysterious and peculiar side of New Jersey through an enlightening presentation focusing on the uniquely strange aspects of Bloomingdale and the surrounding area. In addition to the featured program, they will be highlighting little-known N.J. legends, folklore, ghost sightings and other fascinating stories.

Weird NJ will speak of people, places and happenings in New Jersey that are not found on most tourist maps or historical records, as the primary focus of their backroad travels and research is on local unwritten history and modern folklore considered to be strange, odd or unique.

Weird NJ began as a quest for unwritten New Jersey history and modern folklore more than 30 years ago in the course of compiling a homespun newsletter, called “Weird N.J.,” that they distributed annually to their friends. The pamphlet, comprising odd news, bizarre facts, little-known historical anecdotes and anomalous encounters from across the Garden State, was based on the idea that “every town in the state had at least one good tale to tell.”
