The Legend of Haunted Clinton Road, America’s Most Cursed Highway

In West Milford, New Jersey, the eerie Clinton Road stretches almost 10 miles, has one of the country’s longest traffic lights, and is oozing with unusual phenomena. The road may not be much to see at first, but when you consider Clinton Road’s history, it gets a lot more interesting.

The road and forest stretching around the haunted Clinton highway are bursting with supernatural occurrences and legends, from ghost sightings and strange creatures hiding in trees, to gatherings of witches, Satanists, and the Ku Klux Klan in the dead of night. There are very few homes on the road, making anyone’s journey through it quite lonely, or as a local police chief put it, “It’s a long, desolate stretch and makes the imagination go nuts.” Whether is just people’s imaginations or not is up for debate. It’s a fact that strange things happen near the haunted Clinton Road and to many who have dared enter its woods.

It’s a long, desolate stretch and makes the imagination go nuts. 
-West Milford, Police Chief

Clinton Road’s Ghost Boy Bridge

The most talked about paranormal occurrence on the long stretch of Clinton Road is said to happen at midnight when the spirit of a young boy haunts a bridge near “Dead Man’s Curve.” The story of how the ghost boy came to rest on Clinton Road differ. Some say he fell into the river and drowned when he was sitting on the edge of the bridge, others say he fell into the water to avoid getting hit by an oncoming car.

They say if you sit on the bridge you can summon the ghost boy by throwing a coin into the water below. The ghost boy is said to return at midnight and place the coin back on the bridge. Other’s claim he will either toss the coin back onto the bridge or place it back on the road the next morning. Some have reported him placing it in the middle of the road on the yellow line the next morning. Some have even claimed that the ghost boy pushed them away from the bridge when they stood too close to its edge. Others have said they have seen the face of the young boy reflected back at them in the still, coin-filled water.

They say if you sit on the bridge you can summon the ghost boy by throwing a coin into the water below. He will either toss the coin back onto the bridge or place it back on the road the next morning.

Note: There are two bridges on Clinton Road and both are somewhat near Dead Man’s Curve. You’ll see remains of coins off both bridges and the exact location is a bit of a controversy. Most people flock to the bridge closest to Dead Man’s Curve which may be the most likely place, but there is another bridge a few miles south of Dead Man’s Curve is where you’ll see a waterfall.

Haunted Cross Castle

Tucked back into the woods, not far from the road, lies the ruins of what used to be a grand three-story stone and wood structure named The Cross Castle, named after its builder, Richard Cross. Cross built the large estate for himself and his family in 1905 and lived there until his death in 1917. His family then sold the property to the City of Newark in 1919. Sometime later, a fire ripped through the abandoned settlement, leaving only the stone structure behind. In 1988, the building was demolished but not before it had become a haven for Satanist ceremonies and KKK meetings. Even in the age the castle was built, the surrounding woods were thought to be evil and full of witches and bad spirits. Very few were willing to enter the woods, and even fewer would ever step into them at night. People who have braved the woods at night have heard strange chanting and manic laughter. Some have had seizures for unexplainable reasons and found animal sacrifices littered everywhere. Some have even had the unpleasant experience of bearing witness to a KKK gathering near the ruins.

The Furnace of Clinton Road

Yet another strange Clinton Road structure nestled against the trees, slowly gathering moss and foliage, is The Furnace, an 18th-century iron smelter. It has also been nicknamed “The Druidic Temple” since legend says local Druids would practice their rituals there although it’s really known as Clinton Furnace according to the Register of Historic Places. It is said that horrible things will come to pass to intruders that enter the stone structure unannounced or at an inopportune time. The smelter is now fenced off to prevent trespassers from entering the crumbling structure and, considering the tales told about the place, it may be for the best.

The Iceman’s Dumping Ground

Not every horrifying tale about Clinton Road is supernatural. In May 1983, a cyclist noticed a large vulture picking at something in the woods close to the road. Upon further inspection, the cyclist discovered a human corpse. Following an autopsy, it was concluded that the man died due to foul play but strangely did not die as recently as his body would suggest. Due to the presence of ice crystals in the veins of the dead man, it was determined that the man had died several days before, but the killer had frozen him to make the date of death seem more recent. This method is how Richard Kuklinski, a hitman for the mob for most of his adult life, got the name, Iceman. The dead man was identified as Daniel Deppner, a business associate of Kuklinski and a known associate of the mob in nearby Rockland County, New York. A three-year investigation finally lead to the arrest of the New Jersey local, Iceman Kuklinski. He confessed to being the killer and made bold claims that he had killed hundreds of men throughout his life. The Iceman died in prison in October of 2005.

America’s Most Haunted Road?

A ghost boy, Dead Man’s Curve, the Iceman’s burial ground, a druid temple, satanic rituals, KKK rallies, animal sacrifices, and more. Is it a coincidence that so many bizarre events transpire on this road, or is there a reason so much evil is attracted to Clinton Road and its parts? The coincidences seem to have become patterns.

The Warren’s Occult Museum in Monroe, Connecticut

Most people who bring haunted or possessed objects into their homes do it by mistake, but not Ed and Lorraine Warren. In fact, not only do they keep haunted and possessed objects in the basement of their home in Monroe, Connecticut, but they’ve made it into a one of a kind  Occult Museum.

What is The Warren’s Occult Museum

The Warrens began studying the paranormal in 1952 and have risen to fame from The Conjuring film series. Throughout the years, they accumulated memorabilia from their cases and opened the museum in the early 1980s. The most notable piece in their collection is the Annabelle doll in its large glass case. Along with the Annabelle doll, there is a smaller, but much more unsettling looking doll called the Shadow doll. It’s said that the doll will infiltrate people’s dreams and stop their heart while they sleep. There is a large man-shaped structure that was found in the woods Connecticut that was used for satanic rituals, a human skull with a star painted on its forehead that was used for black magic, and an organ that looks harmless but is known to play music all on its own.

All who enter the museum are warned not to touch anything. This is a  strictly enforced rule. Many of the objects housed in the cramped basement can latch onto a human host with just that simple action. So watch where you place your hands and most definitely watch what you say. You never know what might be listening and if it will take offense.

According to Ed Warren, a young man came to the museum and started tapping on the glass of the Annabelle case after hearing the horror story of how it got there. He exclaimed that if the doll really did scratch someone, it should prove it and scratch him too. Ed ushered the man out himself saying, “Son, you need to leave.” On his way home, the young man and his girlfriend who was with him got into a motorcycle accident. The young man was killed upon impact and his girlfriend was hospitalized for over a year. It is believed that the Annabelle doll was behind this accident, given its history with motor accidents and its dislike of being antagonized.

The Warrens claim to have investigated over 10,000 cases during their career. Two of their most notable cases being the Old Brook Farm and the Amityville house. The former was a real-life haunting that inspired The Conjuring series, and the latter spurred countless books and movies about the horrors that took place within it. It’ll come as no surprise that the Warren’s Occult Museum, much like the Old Brook Farm and Amityville house, is a real haunted location. It is not an uncommon sight to see a priest blessing the basement to ensure the safety of the Warrens and visitors. But guests are assured an interesting look into the Warrens long history of the supernatural, as long as you respect the environment and the objects within it.

Visiting The Warren’s Occult Museum

Along with being a must-see for anyone interested in the paranormal, the Warrens house has been used in several films and television shows such as, but not limited to, The X-Files, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Twilight Zone, and Dexter. The Occult Museum is currently closed due to zoning issues. Check the Warren’s website for updates about where and when the new museum will open.

The Murder House from American Horror Story Season 1

The famous house that put American Horror Story on the map is the Rosenheim Mansion in Los Angeles. The mansion was built by famous architect Alfred Rosenheim in 1908 for his family home. The house is now better known as Murder House thanks to American Horror Story.

Murder House Inspiration

While this is the house used for the exterior shots for AHS season 1 in Los Angeles, rumors are that the inspiration for the Murder House was the Bailey Mansion. The Bailey mansion was said to have been a funeral parlor in Connecticut and the home of a murder-suicide, but those are most likely rumors to help build on the Murder House storyline. The true whereabouts of the Baily Mansion are disputed and the real Bailey Mansion has been found in Pennsylvania.

Murder House for Sale

Recently, the 7,588 square foot Murder House Mansion was sold for a Market For $3.2 Million in 2015 to actress Angela Oakenfold and her partner.

Is the Yellowstone Art Museum Haunted?

The Yellowstone Art Museum opened in 1964. It houses both contemporary and historical art. It used to be the Yellowstone County Jail, which was built in 1884. A man was hanged in the jail years ago and there are still some jail cells remaining that you can look at. It is said that several of the cellmates may have stuck around from the 19th century.

There have been reports of screams, shackles and chains rattling, and bars being wrung across by former prisoners. What happened to these lost souls?

Haunted Tour at the Yellowstone Art Museum

Each October, the haunted museum hosts a haunted tour where you can hear the stories of the jailed inmates and their ghosts.

The Moss Mansion Historic House Museum is located in Billings, Montana on 914 Division St. It is a red-stoned mansion built in 1903 by Preston Boyd Moss and his wife, Martha Ursula Woodson Moss.

The Enfield Haunting House from The Conjuring 2

Ed and Lorraine Warren were considered to be famed authorities when it came to diagnosis and remediation of paranormal situations. Their paranormal case files number in the thousands. Oftentimes they received hundreds of letters at a time from people needing help, only able to respond to the most severe. They were made globally famous when their investigation of a Rhode Island estate was made famous in The Conjuring movie.

In 1977, over three thousand miles away in the working-class town of Enfield, a borough of London, England, a mother, and her four children were suffering from a paranormal attack. The cries from help were so strong, the Warrens were convinced they had to take the case and soon found themselves in the most famous paranormal case in England. The documentation for the case is staggering and was made known to the world in the 2016 box office smash hit The Conjuring 2.

Where is the real Conjuring 2 house in Enfield, England?

284 Green Street in the Enfield borough of London, England is the address of the still-standing council house. The house was rented by a working mother named Peggy Hodgson. She lived in the home with her four children: Margaret 13, Janet 11, Johnny ten, and Billy 7. The unassuming house was situated in the middle of Green Street, and prior to the Hodgson’s living there, no paranormal activity was documented.

Paranormal Activity Begins in Enfield

Early one evening in 1977, the very first thing that was seen by the children in the home was a clothing chest that moved.  The drawers it housed began to open and close, banging back and forth. The noise scared them and startled their mother who came to see what all the commotion was about. Peggy personally saw the clothing chest move but was not intimidated and tried to push it back to its original place. Only the chest would not move at all. She remained silent as the terrified children told her of it moving on its own when suddenly the chest slid across the floor towards the bedroom door to block it.  Gathering her children up, Peggy took them downstairs where they often slept for the next eighteen months.

The activity was textbook poltergeist behavior, and admittedly years later, the Hodgson children had confessed to playing with a Ouija board prior to the clothing chest incident. Loud noises, objects being moved out of place, and levitations were common. There was no clock set by which the activity would occur as it was just as easy to happen in the daylight hours. The police constables were called due to the noise complaints from neighbors, and they themselves personally witnessed objects moving about the home.

With no visible crime committed or logical way to stop what was going on inside the house, the police walked away unable to assist. Next door neighbors to the Hodgson family, the Nottinghams were often a great source of refuge. After failed attempts by the police, Mrs. Nottingham personally called up a local paper, The Daily Mirror, to tell of the activity going on, in hopes that an article could be written. Reporters for the case visited the house and walked away solid believers in what was going on inside. To help the family, one of the reporters called the local Society for Psychical Research to come and help the desperate family.

The Growling and Maurice Grosse

The Society for Psychical Research was a group based out of London who investigated psychic and paranormal claims. One of their newest members was a man named Maurice Grosse. He was an inventor and businessman who after experiencing a personal tragedy in the death of his daughter, began to investigate the paranormal. Along with a local author and paranormal investigator named Guy Playfair, the two began to examine the purportedly haunted Enfield home.

Right away, the activity was upfront and frequent. The infamous clothing chest in the girl’s room began to move on its own with drawers opening and closing. The young children’s marbles would spin and roll before mysteriously floating through the air as if being carried. The coffee table in the living room where they slept levitated, spoons in the kitchen would fly off the counters at random, the iron frame in the hearth of the fireplace was torn to pieces, and constant loud bangs and footsteps permeated the home. At this stage, Grosse and Playfair knew they had a confirmed poltergeist haunting. The real terror began to set in with the growling from young Janet.

Even with all the activity that was going on, the children were on a constant stressful edge. Janet during this time seemed to suffer the most out of all the Hodgson children. She was becoming more and more detached, often with a blank expression and a feeling of which she would describe as, “being in a black forest”. In fact, she was physically attacked in the living room one day. Sitting near the curtains, they suddenly wrapped themselves around her neck and began strangling her in which it took several people to unravel the tightly wound noose.

One afternoon while being interviewed by Grosse and Playfair, Janet began to growl. Deep, unearthly sounding growls emitted from the young child. Shocked by the change, Grosse and Playfair began to take recordings of her many growls, when suddenly she began to speak. However, the voice she was speaking in was not her own. It was best compared to a much older, gravelly-voiced man. One of the more terrifying things spoken by young Janet was in the older man voice saying, “This is my home! And I resent you being here!”.

Naturally, there were detractors to the ever happening activity in the home. People who heard of Janet’s voice claimed it was merely a ventriloquist act. Grosse and Playfair personally put up several hundred British pounds as a reward for anyone who could duplicate the voice, with many trying and all failing. Janet’s voice was given the ultimate test with her mouth taped shut, and the old man’s voice was still heard. Shortly thereafter, the Warrens were called in to aid the investigation.

Enter the Warrens

Ed and Lorraine arrived at the Enfield borough prepared to help at all cost. They, alongside Grosse and Playfair, began to document the paranormal activity that was going on inside the once quiet council home that was suddenly now getting all sorts of media attention. The nighttime was becoming the worst, as even though the children had slowly accepted sleeping in their bedrooms once again, there was still poltergeist activity going on, making sleep almost impossible. Janet was once again the center of attention. During one particular night, Janet levitated out of bed in front of investigators and one of the most authentic and compelling paranormal photographs was ever taken.

The Warrens alongside Grosse and Playfair conducted countless interviews with all the Hodgson family, neighbors, and referenced all the local resources they had at their disposal to try and diagnose what exactly was causing all the activity. It was Grosse who initially made the breakthrough with young Janet. Nearly eighteen months into the entire process, Grosse was able to question Janet as she spoke in the old man voice. It was with such questioning that the spirit speaking through Janet made its name known as Bill Wilkins.

Speaking as Bill, Janet spoke about him being there at home in his chair, when suddenly he went blind. He saw total darkness before dying of a violent hemorrhage. The facts were checked, and Bill Wilkins’s still living son, Terry, was able to indeed confirm exactly what Janet was saying about the death of his father. Shortly after the revelation of the name of the spirit, the activity in the home quietly tapered off into nothingness. After 18 wildly exhausting and terrifying months, the Enfield Haunting had officially stopped as mysteriously as it began.

Years After The Enfield Haunting

Soon after activity in the home had ceased, everyone had gone their own separate ways. The Warrens, of course, returned back to the United States where they continued to help others who were suffering from paranormal attacks. In terms of their cases, the Enfield Haunting is widely considered one of their “top three” investigations of all time. Maurice Grosse continued as a researcher of the paranormal as the Enfield Haunting had given his name a lot more credibility to it. Using his experience he was able to help many more people who were victims of hauntings before ultimately passing away in 2006.

Guy Playfair took his own experience there with Enfield and further wrote, published, and produced many articles on the subject of the paranormal. Playfair passed away in London in 2018. Peggy Hodgson maintained that everything experienced in the home was authentic before passing away due to a cancer-related illness in 2003, while her son Johnny passed away in 1981. The youngest, Billy, remains quiet on the haunting to this day. His oldest sister Margaret has been quite outspoken on the authenticity of the activity and claims to this day that everything was true.

Janet Hodgson left home in her teenage years and married quite young. Due to all the publicity associated with the house, she has kept a very private life to avoid being subjected to the paranormal hell she was put through. Rarely granted any requests for interviews, one of the more recent comments she made to the public was that she fully believes what she went through was real, and still living inside the house in some capacity to this very day.

One of the most frequently used horror film tropes is the story of nubile teens alone in the woods staying the summer at a campground. Leaving the bucolic and rustic splendor of the campground, they traipse into the deep, dark woods to get to know one another’s bodies a little bit better when unbeknownst to them, they’ve secretly been selected and stalked by a masked killer along the tree lines. Screams are heard, machetes hack and heads and body parts fly. If such a setup sounds familiar to you, that’s because this idea was set up and strewn over the course of twenty-three years via ten sequels to one of the horror film world’s most iconic series, Friday the 13th.

The Real Camp Crystal Lake

Camp Crystal Lake is the fictional teen campground that serves as the main setting location in nearly all the Friday the 13th films. While the films never really give away a location, the actual campground exists to this day and is located in Hardwick Township, New Jersey. Contrary to the popular theory that the killer’s last name (Voorhees), is related to an actual township in the state isn’t true and this was confirmed by the film’s writer Victor Miller who simply used the last name because of a girl he once knew.

Today the camp is actually privately owned by the Boy Scouts of America and is called Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco. Despite the actual campground being on private property, trespassing by horror fans isn’t acceptable or cool. What is acceptable and cool however is the fact that the Boy Scouts do periodically open up the campground to guided tours by an authorized tour group. That’s right, Camp Crystal Lake Tours is a volunteer tour group in the area made up of dedicated and highly knowledgeable horror movie fans who lead eager horror cinephiles on the tour of a lifetime.

Camp Crystal Lake Tours

Tickets for Crytal Lake tours are incredibly difficult to obtain as it’s quite possibly the most popular tour in the New Jersey state area. A lottery-style method is employed to select a group of fans whenever the Boy Scouts approve another tour. However, once you are selected…..you can literally step inside the world of Jason Voorhees like never before. It is all there: the sign area that greeted doomed teens to Camp Crystal Lake, the main cabin hall with enormous stone fireplace, the archery range area, the lead counselor cabin, the waterfront cabins, and of course, the lake itself!

The Boy Scouts and tour group are savvy that fans want souvenirs, and they do not disappoint! Hats, shirts, pint glasses, official Camp Crystal Lake patches, and more. But the best and most popular piece is the Angry Mother Lake Water, which is bottled water right there from the actual lake. Proceeds from sales and tours go to Boy Scout non-profit organizations and all information on the tours are found at the official Camp Crystal Lake website.

When is the next Friday the 13th? Ever wonder why Friday the 13th is unlucky?

Haunted 1858 Garnett House Hotel in Garnett, Kansas

Built in 1858, The Garnett House origins were as a hotel. It was the first hotel in Garnett, Kansas and is the only surviving antebellum structure in the town. Garnett House has operated in several capacities such as a residence, a school, a Doctor’s office, and hotel. The outlaw Jesse James was rumored to have stayed in the hotel as an alias at times. Several other famous documented guests include Wyatt Earp, Wild Bill Hickock, Buffalo Bill Cody, Belle Starr and Bat Masterson. A recent rumor of Harry Houdini having stayed at the Garnett has been surfaced as well.

The ghost of Jesse James has also been reported to haunt the halls of the St James Hotel in Selma, Alabama if you’re a fan of the infamous outlaw.

The Garnett hotel has been investigated on occasion as it has such a rich history. Recently the Garnett House was purchased by a paranormal group with the intent of preserving the structure’s history. Is it haunted? Are the creeks in the attic just normal shifting of the building or the ghosts of the slaves that were hidden by abolitionist John Brown?

The Timberline Lodge AKA The Overlook Hotel from The Shining

Timberline Lodge sits in Mount Hood National Forest in the state of Oregon. The hotel is most recognized as the hotel that was used for the exterior hotel shots for the Stanley Kubrick version of The Shining starring Jack Nicholson and Shelly Duvall. The film was based on Stephen King‘s novel of the same name. King and Kubrick did not see eye to eye on creative decisions for The Shining, but regardless the movie remains a classic. The facade of the Timberline Lodge is imprinted in most people’s minds as how The Shining hotel actually looks. So if you want to get that experience, minus the hedge maze, you should get up to Oregon’s Timberline Lodge. In The Shining, the fictitious name of the hotel was “The Overlook Hotel.” A few hotels lay some sort of claim to be the inspiration for “The Overlook Hotel” such as the Stanley Hotel in Estes, Colorado and Mohonk Mountain House in New York. Each hotel has its own story to tell however, you are sure to recognize the exteriors provided by the famous Timberline Lodge.

Is the Timberline Lodge Haunted?

The wooden Timberline Lodge was built in 1936-37. Some Timberline Lodge employees have reported that the first aid room is haunted by the ghosts of climbers and skiers of Mt. Hood whom never made it off the mountain. There are some stories of ghostly activity in the “older section” of the hotel. You might request that section of the hotel when you reserve your stay.

The Timberline Lodge Embraces The Shining

Timberline Lodge is not shy about its “Shining” fame. The hotel features an ax from The Shining film set emblazoned with the phrase “Here’s Johnny!” The Shining Lodge also plays host to The Overlook Film Festival, a four-day event celebrating the best of horror in all of its forms. The first event was hosted in 2017 at The Timberline. The Timberline Lodge also play the film after 10:30 upon request and has special events around Halloween with a viewing of the film.

Where is room 237?

There is no room 237 at the Timberline Lodge. However, the room from Stephen King’s book depicts room 217 as the haunted room throughout the storyline. During the filming, Timberline Lodge asked Mr. Kubrik to use a fictitious room number so guests would not be too scared to stay in the actual room 217. You can reserve room 217 at the Timberline Lodge. Sometimes it can be tough to get, but if you book for more than one night, you might have a better chance to get the scariest of rooms.

Haunted Rooms of the Timberline Lodge AKA The Overlook Hotel

• Room 217 is not necessarily haunted, but it’s THE room out of Stephen King’s novel.
• The old section of the hotel has been said to have some ghostly activity.
• The first aid room is said to be haunted by skiers and climbers who never made it off the mountain.

Paranormal Encounters at the Timberline Lodge

A Timberline Lodge employee tells FrightFind a few ghost stories of her time at The Timberline AKA “The Shining Hotel.” Gracie, reports, “I was talking to a couple of employees in an office one day when a drawer partially opened up in between me and one of them. I said “look a ghost is in on our conversation, if so it will open it the rest of the way.” Sure enough it opened the rest of the way. We ran out of there so fast. I didn’t go back in that room for days.”

Another encounter, “one morning when I was opening up the grill location, someone had said “good morning, Gracie.” I went to say it back, there was no one there. In the entire area. Oo one.” Additionally, “There is an attic area above one of the restaurants, I couldn’t go in there. The few times I had to, it felt like the room was closing in on me and it was always freezing in there for me. Even tho it was 70° in there.”
