8 Creepy Myths People From New Jersey Should Know About
Spook Rabbits.
On a particular hill in Harmony Township is where the bloodthirsty “spook rabbits” make their home. This race of rabbits were supposedly fed up with being hunted and, in 1891, attacked a hunter’s dogs, tearing their skin to shreds. Revenge was bred into these rodents over time, and now they are (supposedly) completely predatory and ravenous.
The Ghost Of Vincent “Mad Dog” Cole.
As the sign purports, the Liquid Assets Gentlemen’s Club is haunted by the ghost of a man who was to be called “Mad Dog” during his time on earth (and apparently after). As a “Mad Dog” is wont to do, the spirit spends his time evaporating cocktails from the glasses of paying customers and shredding blouses off the waitresses. No one, of course, is surprised to find out that the ghost of Mad Dog is a huge perv. No one.
The Cemetery Snake.
Woodbridge cemetery is haunted by an eternal snake that spells an omen for a family if seen during a funeral. If a black and purple snake slithers into the coffin and wraps itself around the deceased during a eulogy, you will soon have another death in the family.

Newark’s Ghost Train.
When the clock strikes midnight on the tenth of every month, a ghost train conducted by a zombie engineer pulls through Newark’s Broad Street station. The engineer supposedly died in an accident nearly 150 years ago, but his train has eternally been on time.
Hoppie The Sea Serpent.
Deep under Lake Hopatcong lies a 40 foot serpent with a scaly body and the head of a wolf. While most sea serpent myths tell of the creature ensnaring boats and drowning crewman for supper, this one is actually friendly. Hoppie the Sussex serpent mostly likes to keep to himself, but enjoys a peak at the surface every once in a while.
Schooley’s Mountain Goblin Treasure.
In the 18th century, con man Ransford Rogers told the people living under Schooley’s Mountain that the land was filled with buried treasure. The “treasure” was protected by a tribe of vengeful goblins only Rogers could communicate with (for a price, of course). It seemed like a scam, until Rogers disappeared after being locked up in the Morris County prison. Could it have been his goblin friends who busted him free?
The Devil’s Tree.
In Bernards Township lies a tree said to be cursed. Anyone who disrupts the tree through vandalism will be under its hex and come to harm. Nobody knows the true origins of the tree, but some say a farmer hanged himself on its limbs after killing his family. A strange heat emits from its bark, which has many locals believe that the tree may be a gateway to hell.
The Clifton Gates Of Hell.
The Clifton sewer tunnels have always been a fascination for teenagers in the area. It is said that if you get close enough to the gates of hell, its keeper, “Red Eyed Mike,” will appear. I think I know exactly why Mike’s eyes are red. I, too, was once a teenager.
I mean, I already knew that New Jersey was a land of mystical creatures (see: Danny DeVito), but who knew there was a real-life Middle Earth right here on the East Coast?!
