Weird NJ FTL (long story)

[shane27]

so me and some friends decided to go visit the abandoned insane asylum last night. my friend was driving, so i pounded a few beers before i left (this will be important later). so we get there and we are driving around this huge complex and we pass a small police station and go into a parking lot.

my friend takes his bowl and his weed out for whatever reason and puts it on his tire, so we look around for a minute and get back in the car. we get back on the one road and my friend realized he forgot his weed and bowl, but we decide not go to back for it (this will also be important later).

so we drive around this weird ass complex and we wind up in some weird mini development, and as we go to turn around we see a cop coming toward us. he gets next to us puts his lights on and tells us all to get out of the car....****ing great. so we all get out as about 4 more cop cars show up. they get out of their cars screaming their asses off at us to keep our hands where they can see them and drop our things.

so now we all have our hands on the hood and we all give the cops our ID. he asks if anyone is under 18 so my friend stacy goes with the cop on the side to get asked questions.(owned) anyway the one cop says "we look a little to comfortable" even though we are sitting with our hands on the hood looking like we are ready to get primed. he tells us to form a line so we do so.

meanwhile this little neighborhood is acculy where someof the mental patients stay, so now we got tons of mental people on their front lawns staring at us. then we hear screaming comming from the one house. so two cops go to check it out, and they had to end up breaking in the door and busting our their guns. as they ran into the house. this is just ****ing peachy

so while all this is going on the cops as my friend if there is anything illegal in the car so he tells them they can search the car, and they do. so as they are, me and my other 3 friends talk to the only cool cop there. after a little while i feel a flashlight on my face, so i turn to look at a cop staring at me. in the scariest tone of seriousness and pissed off voice, he tells me to "get over here now." i was talking fine (or so i thought) but somehow i ended up with my hands on the car yet again, and being searched up and down. luckily i didnt forget anythig in my pockets so get tells me to go back with my friends which i promptly do to avoid anymore conversation.

so to finish up they didnt find **** (thanks to my friends stupidity) and they bascally told us that if we ever come back we get arrested on the spot, becasue our names are in their computers or something.

[oh one ls1 SS]

what did they pull u over for in the first place?

[shane27]

trespassing on state property
even tho everything in the state is state property

[oh one ls1 SS]

umm... i could see if it was private property or government property but state property??

[foff667]

you'd be supprised...state owns alot of property...we occassionally sell some off actually at my job.

[NJSPEEDER]

was there a sign or anythign that said keep out? anyplace that is off limits to the average civilian has to be posted clearly for them to do anything legally.

[Ian]

which "insane asylum" was this?

[misterjuice]

I think.....according to what I read on Weird NJ quite some times ago...that this property has been "off limits" for years.

besides going to "off limits" property.....you pounded some beers (under age) right before going......your friend brought weed in the car.

I may be wrong on this.....but none of that sound like a good idea.

[shane27]

well the kid always has weed in his car, i guess it wasnt the best idea, but then again i wasnt expeecting that at all.

also we didnt see any signs.

[jin1481]

me and my friend did a drive around the asylum once years ago and got stopped, we made up some story about checking out the architecture. point is that the cops stake that place out becuz of the weird nj stuff and all break ins they have there.

[Dark_Knight7096]

Weird NJ tells you in all their magazine's that the places they tell you about may or may not be illegal to go to and it is YOUR responsability to research that before going. Most abandoned asylums (if not all) are on private state owned property, therefore illegal to go on. If you found your way to a little "village" that is currently being used to house mental patients then maybe the asylum was not as abandoned as you think and then you would have been trespassing on an actual asylum which is bad news. Suck it up, you went, got caught and didn't get arrested. Sounds like the story of my life. What's real fun is after getting caught a few times you come up with VERY creative ways to evade the guards.

That's cool you went though, did you actually go in the buildings? What you should try to do is park your car a ways away from the asylum and trek in on foot, it's easier to escape this way and it will allow you to escape into the buildings, most guards won't follow you into the abandoned buildings.

[shane27]

nah we didnt get to the building, all we saw was the outline of it in the woods. it was really really freaky, acculy the whole place was pretty scary. were gunna take our friends IDs and go back in a few months or something and yeah, were gunna do it by foot.

[98tadriver]

which "insane asylum" was this?


i think its anchora or however you spell it

[shane27]

no it was the one off route 10 in parsippany

[misterjuice]

also....what does acculy mean?

[SamhainZ28]

oh no, you are talking about the marlboro mental asylum, that place is ****ing scary, and it does exist hah and is very abandoned, there are places that look like blood puddles on the ground, and you constantly hear things knocking aroud, a few of my friends and i went there 2 summers ago, the cops almost caught us, but we hid in the weeds/woods. oh, and never park there, walk, its more discreet

[shane27]

also....what does acculy mean?it means actually

[shane27]

oh no, you are talking about the marlboro mental asylum, that place is ****ing scary, and it does exist hah and is very abandoned, there are places that look like blood puddles on the ground, and you constantly hear things knocking aroud, a few of my friends and i went there 2 summers ago, the cops almost caught us, but we hid in the weeds/woods. oh, and never park there, walk, its more discreetwhere did u guys park?

[SamhainZ28]

well i dont recomend going back, but we parked a lot closer to the main road, it was like a mile walk or so

[wrong generation]

next time you go can i tag along i used to be all into the weird nj stuff and abandon buildings but all my friends are to afraid now days which really sux

[Dark_Knight7096]

Get a few of your friends together and pretend to be from a paranormal society. Do some research, find out who the buildings belong to, call the agency up and ask for permission to conduct a study on the building. Ask them if you could get a guide to show you around and a lot of other stuff. Get yourself a rudimentary paranormal study kit and do a study while you are there. It may very well get you into the place, LEGALLY, and you could have a lot of fun conducting the research, plus who knows what it might uncover.

Can you tell I've used that cover story before??? I picked up some interesting rumblings on EVP at Lambertville school, nothing conclusive but hey, it was fun, plus i can say I did something :)

What Boon said

[Jersey_TA]

Me and about 7 friends went to the wierd nj sites in north jersey last fall(gates of hell, devil's tree, devil's tower, and that one road that starts with a C i think) It was freaky and alot of fun. We also looked for the midget village, but they changed the name of the street and we later found out that they bulldozed it anyway. We are going to go again sometime before the end of the year to some of the places in south/central jersey.....well if they exist. It seems like they are all in north jersey. I have some pics taken with a disposable camera in my jersey_ta webshots also.

[unstable bob gable]

We also looked for the midget village.

OH, looking for where Kasey lives?

[Jersey_TA]

OH, looking for where Kasey lives?

LOL

[GP99GT]

and that one road that starts with a C i think)

clinton road? meh

ive scared a lot of people on that road by flying up behind them and shutting off my headlights for a while :lol:

[Savage_Messiah]

devil's tower is in the next town over from me and boring, but thinking of creative ways to make the rich people spend money... "cleaning up"... can be fun

[Jersey_TA]

clinton road? meh

ive scared a lot of people on that road by flying up behind them and shutting off my headlights for a while :lol:

Yep, that's it

LOL

[Jersey_TA]

devil's tower is in the next town over from me and boring, but thinking of creative ways to make the rich people spend money... "cleaning up"... can be fun

Yeah, all the mansions surrounding the tower kinda takes away from the scariness(sp) I think.

[Dark_Knight7096]

I've been to Clinton and Runyon road before. Got out at Runyon road and chilled on the "kill yourself" bridge at like 3am. Been wantin to go to Devils tower haven't gotten around to it yet. Lotta cool stuff in this state, supposedly isn't there an entrance to hell in a cave system in N. Jersey somewhere?

[98tadriver]

OH, looking for where Kasey lives?

LMAO


they bulldozed his village?? NOoooooooooooooooooooooo!

[shane27]

i love ****ing with people on clinton. if you get behind them and shut off your lights, they will usually pull over LOL. ive also walked parts of that road with ppl of course. its pretty freaky.

[Ian]

supposedly isn't there an entrance to hell in a cave system in N. Jersey somewhere?

you mean "the gates of hell"? I've been there, its just a bunch of runoff tunnels.

[curt86iroc]

you mean "the gates of hell"? I've been there, its just a bunch of runoff tunnels.

yup.

[Ian]

curt and I are weird NJ masters 8)

[88jerseyiroc]

Devils Tower was a joke :). There is a aslyum in verona that is easier to get to then the one off of route 10. I was there, it was kinda freaky some somethings that were lets say unnatural lol. Also taht aslyum has some tunnels underneath it that i refuse to go through without proper gear.

[chrisfrom nj]

theres a place in verona on fairview ave that my firends went to a few years ago

[qwikz28]

unnatural?

I'm guessing proper gear = flashlight with batteries and a weapon?

[88jerseyiroc]

yea unnatural. sounds and whatnot. somethings that looked really freaky but didnt know what it was. in some of the rooms, it looked like there where finger marks on the wall like someone was trying to get out. again being in verona and abandoned, anyone or anything could have made them. mostly the sounds were unnatural. when you got 8 freaked out girls, when you are trying to keep your calm, any noise will sound wierd and unnatural.

yes what i mean proper gear was, some better flashlights. the ones we had sucked. wepaons of various range lol. Guns, swords, bats, unlicensed nuclear accelerators, etc etc etc....

[slasherbarb]

that assylum is off limits...a cop told me and my friends when they pulled us over that we are allowed to drive by it, but we can't get out of the car...once we get out of the car, it's trespassing...but you guys got off lucky

[shane27]

yeah they were just trying to scare us and ****
i knew we didnt do anything really wrong, but they did a pretty decent job of scaring us lololol

[Ian]

:rofl:

I never take a weapon with me because I dont want to get caught with it. Flashlights I take very seriously though. Another rule I always abide by is to never take girls with me. its not that I dont like going to creepy places with girls, but from what I've seen they can't run from authority figures worth a crap :lol:

[WayFast84]

njfboa/weird nj sites meet?

lol

has any one bin to the hill where you park in neutral and you go up the hill?

[Ian]

its an optical illusion. the road looks like its going uphill, but its really slightly downhill.

[curt86iroc]

curt and I are weird NJ masters 8)

agreed. i think we have been to probably 80% of all places in weird nj.

[Brando56894]

nice spelling shane :-P

no it was the one off route 10 in parsippany

i was about to say "wow menantico village here in vineland is quite a hike for you" its this huge ass nut house complex that they used to use back in the 30s. (its in the wierd NJ book) i know alot of ppl that have gone there, funny thing is my mom and her friend decided to drive on the property to see what it looks like and they almost got arrested on site. its not a scare tactic, they WILL arrest you :?

@Ron: Ancora is still open, my grandfather used to work there :lol:

OH, looking for where Kasey lives?

:funny: :rofl: nice one bob

[qwikz28]

its an optical illusion. the road looks like its going uphill, but its really slightly downhill.
i can walk to that one by my house. (the NY one that is, i believe there is one in Holmdel as well)

and btw- its bullcrap. the only people that it has worked for are the towny crackheads. my buddy (who lives at the top of the hill) and i tried it in his Monte Carlo and it didnt work.

[shane27]

its an optical illusion. the road looks like its going uphill, but its really slightly downhill.gravity hill?

[wrong generation]

have any of you ever been to the abandon plane thats in the middle of the pines thats in the weird nj book/website ? its in my town i havnt been to it in a few years wonder how much is left of it by now

[Tru2Chevy]

its an optical illusion. the road looks like its going uphill, but its really slightly downhill.gravity hill?

Yes, Gravity Hill.

There is one down here...can't remember the name of the actual street at the moment though. I've been there, it works, and it is kinda freaky, even though you know that you really are just rolling downhill.
