From Haunted Houses to Zombies: The Most Frightening Scary Horror Games

Do you enjoy the adrenaline rush of being scared out of your wits? Are you a fan of horror movies and looking for a new way to experience fear? Look no further. In this article, we will explore some of the most terrifying scary horror games that will leave you trembling with fear. From haunted houses to zombies, these games will push your limits and keep you on the edge of your seat.

Haunted Houses: A Classic Thrill

If you’re a fan of haunted houses, then horror games that feature eerie mansions or abandoned buildings are sure to provide an exhilarating experience. One such game that comes to mind is “Resident Evil 7: Biohazard.” Set in a dilapidated plantation house in rural Louisiana, this game combines atmospheric horror with intense gameplay. As you navigate through dark corridors and solve puzzles, you’ll encounter grotesque creatures and terrifying jump scares that will keep your heart pounding.

Another notable haunted house game is “Amnesia: The Dark Descent.” In this first-person survival horror game, players find themselves trapped inside an ancient castle with no memory of how they got there. With limited resources and a lurking presence that feeds on fear, this game is guaranteed to make even the bravest players feel vulnerable and terrified.

Zombies: A Never-Ending Nightmare

Zombies have been a staple in horror culture for decades, and scary horror games featuring these undead creatures are always popular among thrill-seekers. One standout title in this genre is “The Last of Us.” Set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by infected humans turned into zombies, this action-adventure game blends intense combat with an emotionally gripping storyline. The realistic graphics and immersive gameplay make every encounter with the infected a heart-pounding experience.

For those seeking a more intense zombie experience, “Resident Evil 2” is a must-play. This remake of the classic survival horror game takes players back to Raccoon City, where a zombie outbreak has turned the population into flesh-eating monsters. With its atmospheric setting and relentless undead enemies, this game will keep you on your toes as you fight for survival.

Psychological Horror: A Mind-Bending Challenge

If you prefer horror games that mess with your mind, then psychological horror games are perfect for you. “Silent Hill 2” is often regarded as one of the best examples of this subgenre. As players control James Sunderland through the foggy town of Silent Hill, they unravel a deeply disturbing story filled with symbolism and psychological torment. The game’s haunting atmosphere and psychological twists will leave you questioning reality long after you’ve put down the controller.

Another mind-bending horror experience is “Layers of Fear.” In this first-person exploration game, players step into the shoes of a disturbed painter as they navigate through a constantly changing mansion. Delving into themes of madness and obsession, this game uses clever storytelling and visual trickery to create an unsettling experience that will keep you guessing until the very end.

Survival Horror: Fight or Flight

For those who enjoy intense gameplay and heart-pounding action, survival horror games provide an adrenaline-fueled experience like no other. “Outlast” is a prime example of this genre. Armed only with a camcorder, players must navigate through an abandoned psychiatric hospital filled with deranged inmates. With no means to defend yourself other than hiding or running away, every encounter becomes a tense battle for survival.

Another standout survival horror game is “Alien: Isolation.” Set fifteen years after the events of Ridley Scott’s iconic film “Alien,” players assume the role of Ellen Ripley’s daughter as she tries to survive aboard a space station infested by one relentless xenomorph. The game’s AI-driven alien enemy constantly adapts to the player’s actions, making every encounter a nerve-wracking game of cat-and-mouse.

In conclusion, if you’re a fan of being scared senseless, these scary horror games will provide an unforgettable experience. Whether you prefer haunted houses, zombies, psychological torment, or survival challenges, there is a game out there that will cater to your darkest fears. So grab your controller and prepare for a night of terror as you dive into these spine-chilling virtual worlds.

I drove on some of the most haunted roads in the US, and my last stop was straight out of a horror movie

• Riverside Drive, Clinton Road, and Shades of Death Road in New Jersey are said to be haunted.
• Last year, I visited all of them on a spooky road trip ahead of Halloween.
• I didn't see any ghosts, but a local told me she'd seen a ghostly figure on Clinton Road.

A few years ago, I wrote a story about the most haunted roads to drive in the US. I've been dying to visit them ever since.

Three of the spookiest roads — Riverside Drive (nicknamed "Annie's Road"), Clinton Road, and Shades of Death Road — happen to be in New Jersey, within driving distance of New York City, where I live.

With the blessing of my editor, I embarked on a haunted road trip to check out the mysterious sites for myself. My partner came along to take photos so I wouldn't have to walk through creepy streets in the middle of the woods alone.

Our first stop was Totowa, New Jersey, to explore Riverview Drive (also known as "Annie's Road"), about a 20-minute drive outside New York City.

The road is nicknamed for the ghost of a woman named Annie who, as legend has it, was hit by a truck and killed on her prom night in the 1960s.

Motorists have reported hearing screams, seeing mysterious fog, and experiencing interference in their phones and cameras.

A red bloodstain was also said to appear on the road until it was repaved in the early 2000s.

Adding to the spookiness, the street borders Totowa's Laurel Grove Cemetery.

Some believe that the spirits of the cemetery also haunt the road with unusual fog patterns and screaming sounds.

Walking along "Annie's Road," we didn't hear any screams or notice any signs of paranormal activity.

I did get some strange looks from passing drivers as I walked along the gate between the road and the cemetery.

I also didn't notice any interference with my electronics.

I printed out driving directions in case my phone lost service, but everything seemed normal.

No unusual fog patterns, either.

Some have reported seeing figures emerging from clouds of fog.

I asked a few locals if they were familiar with the legends of "Annie's Road." A woman named Denise said she'd never seen anything there, but she warned us about our next stop, Clinton Road.

Denise said she'd visited Clinton Road with her niece about five years ago and warned us that it's "super haunted."

"I'm telling you, we went on that road one night because it was Halloween," she said. "It scared the s--- out of me, I swear I saw something. I literally thought I saw somebody watching us in the woods and run across the street right before our headlights hit."

As we drove towards Clinton Road, I couldn't help but feel like that character in a horror movie who is warned against visiting a haunted place but decides to go anyway.

You know, those characters that make you yell "Don't go inside!" at the screen.

It seems obvious that if a place is said to be haunted, you should stay away, right? But something about ghost stories continues to draw people in.

After about half an hour of driving, we reached Clinton Road in West Milford, New Jersey.

The road contains the remains of an abandoned iron furnace, as well as several bridges where there have been reported ghost sightings.

Stranger Jersey: Clinton Road and Dead Man's Curve

Clinton Road in West Milford is known for the creepy tales told by those who have traveled it. The stories usually tell of tailgating vehicles which mysteriously disappear and ghostly encounters near one of the road's bridges.

The almost 10-mile long stretch of road demands commitment from travelers; there are few side streets on the dark stretch of asphalt. Those present are situated at the far ends of the "haunted" road.

We're featuring it as the premiere video in our new a video series about urban myths, "Stranger Jersey."

The most common Dead Man's Curve ghost story from travelers is that of the ghost of a young boy who remains below a bridge and throws back coins tossed in the water.

There is more than one bridge on the long stretch of road, but the home of the ghost boy is believed to be the bridge at Dead Man's Curve, which sits near the tightly wound curve at Mossman's Brook. The bridge was replaced in 2016 .

Other stories tell of Satanic rituals held in the woods or at Cross Castle nearby, strange animal sightings and the mysterious stone furnace. Watch the video to learn more.

Next in the Stranger Jersey series is Clifton's "Gates of Hell . Tales of the guardian spirit "Red Eyed Mike" and a secret room buried "levels" underground with axes only to be lifted by the worthy are not enough to drive away urban explorers from the old sewer system, but towards it instead. Such is the allure of Clifton's Gates of Hell. Take a look inside in the video below, and read more about the legend here .

About this series

Stranger Jersey is a video series about urban myths. Each episode explores some of New Jersey’s strangest locations and darkest legends. The first episode, “Clinton Road and Dead Man’s Curve,” deals with two classic urban legends centered around an eerie drive down a windy road in West Milford, N.J. In the playful, Halloween-inspired spirit of the macabre, episodes of Stranger Jersey will appear on NorthJersey.com and our social media channels from now through the end of October. Warning: Attempting to re-enact parts of urban legends can disturb local residents and land you in the back of a police car, or worse, an ambulance. As the old adage says, don’t try any of this at home.

Clinton Road: A Dark Ride

On a recent visit to the bridge at Dead Man’s Curve we were surprised and delighted to see just how many people had recently stopped by to test the validity of the legend of the Ghost Boy of Clinton Road.

The Bridge at Dead Man’s Curve on Clinton Road

Probably the most common ghost story that we hear about Clinton Road is that of a dead young boy who hangs out under a bridge and returns coins to you after you throw them in the water.  As far as we know, this tale is unique to Clinton Road, but it is difficult to say when or how this story began. On a recent visit to the bridge at Dead Man’s Curve we were surprised and delighted to see just how many people had recently stopped by to test the validity of the legend of the Ghost Boy of Clinton Road. As we peered over the guardrail and down into the tea colored water of the stream we could clearly see dozens of coins resting on the bottom among the stones of the creekbed. There is no way of knowing how many appearances the Ghost Boy made when summoned by the coin tossers.

Look closely and you will see coins on the creek bed which were thrown to summon the Ghost Boy.

It should be noted that there is more than one bridge located on Clinton Road, and nobody really knows for sure which one the Ghost Boy supposedly hangs out beneath. A second bridge is located several miles to the south of Dead Man’s Curve, just above the old stone iron furnace. This bridge straddles a stony cleft through which a waterfall crashes mightily. If the Ghost Boy’s spirit haunts this bridge then his trip up to return thrown coins would certainly be a much more challenging  task—if he was alive, that is.

Although he is the most talked about apparition to haunt Clinton Road, he is by no means the sole spirit to spook this street.

Small Change

Ghost Boy Pushes You in the Lake

The clinton ghost kid doesn’t want your quarters.

Yesterday at 8pm me and my friend Mike were going to a movie at the drive-in.  We took Clinton Road.  We stopped on the bridge and he told me all the stories about the boy being killed and all, so I threw a quarter off the edge and we drove away.  On the way home at 11:30 we passed over the bridge and stopped because Mike wanted to point out the kid’s name on the side of the bridge.  Just when he said the kid’s name a quarter or something metal was thrown hard against the window of the car.  We were shocked for a minute but then we drove away.  I am not going on that road for a long time.  –Anonymous

Clinton Road – A Dark Ride

Many of these tales of midnight joyrides may seem unbelievable, while others leave one wondering just where truth ends, and an overactive imagination begins. You can decide for yourself whether or not to believe some of the more fantastic stories about this mysterious road, but one thing is for sure, the people who lived these tales believe them, and they will not soon forget their experiences.

An Introduction to Clinton Road and the Castle

It’s amazing that a patch of woods and a few piles of rocks right off of Route 23 in West Milford could be the source of so many rumors and tall tales.  Where else can you find a place where Satan worshippers hide behind every tree, sacrificed goats and chickens litter the woods like leftover barbecue, and black trucks driven by escaped lunatics chase innocent teenagers over dark, pothole-ridden roads?

Where else have so many people have reported the eerie sensation of being watched by something in the woods, strange lights beating white streaks on their cars, or hearing disembodied childish laughter emanate from a remote playground?  Where else do ghostly boys with quarters, and snakes alternately appear on the streets?  And has it always had such a bad reputation?

Once upon a time there was and actual castle in the woods off of Clinton Road.  Most who remember it liken the edifice to something out of a fairy tale or Gothic English novel, rising from the mist.  Clinton, or Cross Castle is how most locals remember it, named for the man who had it built – Richard J. Cross, but Cross himself and his family called the place Bearfort, after the mountain range it was nestled in.  In 1905 Cross bought heavily forested land around Newfoundland, NJ, and began construction of the castle-like mansion.  Its walls, which have intrigued so many people over the years, were 3-stories high.

You can see remnants of the concrete today. Cross died in 1917, and the family sold the property to the City of Newark in 1919.  A fire eventually destroyed much of the remaining wooden structure, leaving the stone walls intact as a place where hikers, teenagers, and the occasional Satan worshippers could congregate.  Those walls, eventually painted over with graffiti and picked apart for souvenirs, were knocked down in 1988 when the Newark Watershed Commission deemed the structure unsound. –Joanne Austin

Cross Castle: The Unholy Edifice

Castles seem to have always inspired the imagination.  The Cross Castle is no exception.  For centuries writers have chosen mountaintop castles as the settings for their tales.  From the terror of Count Dracula’s Castle in Transylvania’s Carpathians, to Dr. Frankenstein’s lair in the Bavarian Alps, castles have provided the perfect environment for fear and ungodly mayhem. In its abandoned state the ruins of Cross Castle would become the stuff of legend.  For some it may have just been a place to party, for others it was a place of pure evil.  The castle on Clinton Road will live on in local lore and weird New Jersey mythology.

Partying At Cross Castle

Back in 1979 I went to the castle for the first time.  We would tell people the Jackson Whites would cut a tree to block the road.  Then, when you would turn around, you’d find that they had cut another one down.  That’s when they would get you.  –Victor

The Albinos of Clinton Road

One time, when a bunch of us climbed up the walls, we did see something.  We were up there and saw two white figures.  They were about 100 yards away from our friends on the ground.  They couldn’t see them from their vantage point.  They came to within 100 yards of the group and then disappeared into the woods.  When we got back to terra firma, we told them about it and that’s when the stories started coming; there was instantly talk about an albino village in the woods.  –Brian R.

Never Get Out of Your Car On Clinton Road!

One road in New Jersey that’s really terrifying is Clinton Road off Route 23 north in West Milford.  The road is well known for many mysterious occurrences and weird activity. Cross Castle, which used to be off Clinton Road, had dungeons where many bodies were found. Satan worshipping was active around Cross Castle and the KKK was also rumored to be active in the area. Never get out of your car, especially at night.  It is definitely weird.  –U101

The KKK and Kross Kastle

Chants at Clinton Castle

After one night of hearing tales, me and six others decided to go to the castle.  As we got up the dirt road that wound up to the castle. We parked the cars, got out , it a fire and drank some beer.  After a half-hour we began to hear chanting and chains rattling.  One of the girls started to go into a seizure.  Three of us tried to move her to no avail.  It was like she was nailed to the rock. Then the chanting stopped.  The girl came around.  We all looked at each other like “What the hell is going on here?”  –G.J.R

The Writings on the Wall at Cross Castle

I had a friend who lived near Clinton Road.  He used to take me on May Day and Halloween’s Eve to spy on Wiccans practicing in the areas near his house.  The proof I have is more than a kid’s flashback of witches.  It pertains to what was transcribed on the walls of Cross Castle and how a historical fact about the writing will reveal that a Satanist movement was using the area for their practices.

The nature of the writing intrigued me so I copied down what the walls proclaimed, and my friend snapped a picture. The journal stayed in a box until six months ago, when after my wife’s death, I was going through everything and read it.  What was once scribbled down in my youth was now revealed as one of the writings of Anton LaVey of The Church of Satan! I went to a local book store to match my journal with the Lex Satanicus.  I concluded that the tales about Clinton Road were  seriously understated!  The Satanists who practiced there were not a joke, but a local grotto of people using dark forces to bring forth their evil reign.  Now when I go to Clinton Road I look at everything in a different light.  –Scot

Satanic Scripture Puzzles Wrecking Crew

A demolition crew came in and destroyed the castle, and all that remained was the basement.  On the walls were old Satanic scripture.  This baffled the demolition crew because there did not appear to be any entrance to this area of the castle.  –Nick B.

Spirit Souvenirs from the Inner Circle

I have actually taken three trips to the castle.  The first time we found the castle by accident.  We wanted to see if the rumors were true.  I will tell anyone: NEVER step over the boundary of the castle.  One of my friends did so.  She became stiff, and ran out of there.  She said she saw something in her head – a little boy being slaughtered.  We decided to get the hell out of there. We realized that my other friend had dropped his wallet on the trail.  We headed back there around 11pm.  I was nervous about going back, so the other people did without me.  My friend once again started gagging.  We drove to our local diner, and I noticed a bruise across my friend’s neck.  –Teddi

Clinton Road Makes Me Sick… Literally

Dead Man’s Corner

I have heard that down by the very end of Clinton Road, after you go down about 12 miles there is a place called Dead Man’s Corner.  I heard this is where the animal sacrifices take place.  If you see a cow, dead or alive, in the middle of the road, DO NOT GET OUT!  They want you to get out of the car to kill you or eat you.  Just turn around and floor it.  –Allison R.

Strange Occurrences

Even aliens like to cruise clinton road.

I know you guys get a lot of  stories, some true, others a little fabricated, but what I saw on Clinton Rd one night was in my eyes a UFO. After we went around Dead Man’s Curve we suddenly saw a huge flash in the sky, and a triangular disk.  This thing was damn big in the sky, and was hovering over the trees about 250 feet in the air.  My friends and I always said we would pull over if we saw a UFO, but we were too scared.  After about 5 minutes, it disappeared and we took off.  –Steve, Kinnelon

More Clinton Road UFOs

I too have seen a UFO on Clinton Road.  It was mad low in the sky and was so big that it looked like it could fit a small army in it.  Then, in the blink of an eye, it was gone.  –Seanie P., Vernon

Hundreds of Blue, Red and White Lights

We were at Clinton Road one night.  As we went further we saw lights.  Hundreds of them, on both sides of the woods – blue ones, red ones, white ones. We got so freaked out.  As we went 75 miles per hour on this 35 mile per hour road, the lights would keep up with us.  If we stopped in the middle of the road, they would stay there on each side.  Suddenly, they vanished.   –Jay Radicals

Unearthly Animals

The environs surrounding Clinton Road have always been home for a variety of wildlife, some species wilder than others.  Black bears and poisonous snakes have always been present in these West Milford woods, and more recently coyotes have become a feature of the landscape.  The threat that these critters pose pales in comparison to the fearful animal apparitions that some of our readers have told us they’ve encountered on Clinton Road.

Beware the Grayish Whitish Wolf with Red and Yellowish Eyes

I never thought that my first trip to Clinton Road would be horrifying.  As we were turning, in the bushes appeared to be a grayish whitish wolf with red and yellowish eyes.  Later on, NO JOKE, my friend told me about his first trip where he also saw a grayish whitish wolf with red and yellowish eyes running in the bushes.  –Amy, Pequannock

The Floating Dog

One legend states that Cross Castle rebuilds itself every October 30th, and the KKK sacrifices a goat.  I get scared every time I go down the road that leads to that area, because the one time I went down there a strange figure chased our truck out of Clinton.  When I got a good look at it, I screamed and told my friend to drive faster.  It was a dog of some sort, but it was floating, not running.    –Kelly B.

Is There Anything NOT in the Woods of Clinton Road?

One night my sister and her friend were driving down Clinton Rd when my sister’s friend says “What IS that?”  My sister looks and there was a MONKEY.  They were both freaked out.  Monkeys aren’t common to West Milford.  –Ryan O.

The Hell Hound Of Clinton Road

After once through this 10 mile road nothing had happened.  So we went back, and checked out a dirt side road.  Nothing was around except for dense woods. It felt very eerie and the “trespassers will be shot on sight” sign did not ease my mind.  That’s when I noticed something walking toward our car.  All eight of us saw the same thing; an animal of some sort.  We went 60 down this off road with this “animal” on our back.  Finally we got back on Clinton Road and got  pulled over by a cop and the animal disappeared!  People say it’s a hell hound or the Jersey Devil…all I know is that it was not human.  –Jessica

The Ghosts of the Dangerous Curves

The ghosts of the Dangerous Curve are said to be visible if you drive up to it at midnight, then turn off your car lights.  It is also said that on the island in the center of the reservoir there are many Satanic rituals, including KKK happenings taking place involving animal sacrifices.   –Laura R

Ghostly Camaros

This girl was racing down Clinton Road toward Route 23 in her blue 1988 Chevy Camaro.  She slammed right into the cement divider on the sharpest turn on Clinton Road, and was killed instantly.  If you tell someone else the story of the accident while driving down Clinton Road, you will see a blue 1988 Chevy Camaro drive by.  When my friend Vince told me this story, we saw headlights in the distance, and when the car passed we made it out to be the Camaro.  –Mike

Ghosts Rangers Patrol the Forest

Hanging out at the old castle was great.  Much further up the road on the right there are trails that go up the mountain to a lake called Terrace Pond.  The pond was crystal clear and great for swimming.  We used to camp up there and we had a really weird occurrence that happened to us. We were camping one night around 1am and two park rangers noticed our fire and walked over to us.  They were concerned about the fire, drinking, etc.  We asked if our vehicles would be OK where they were, and asked if they would be ticketed.  They said they were fine and no ticketing would be carried out. In the morning we ventured down the mountainside and approached our cars and they had two summonses per car.

West Milford police and Newark Watershed authorities approached us and we asked them about the park rangers and they looked bewildered.   We then told them that we were speaking with two younger men and they said that we were OK to stay and camp, our vehicles were OK, and we would not be fined. One of the Newark Watershed Authorities replied, “What did these park rangers look like and what were they wearing?”  We described their appearance, and the authority told us that there were no park rangers patrolling the property anymore, and the two men we saw that night were killed on patrol in 1939. We did not know what to say.  Did we imagine this?  Why was the authority questioning the description, did he know these men when they were alive?  Are we the only people that have encountered these rangers? –Anonymous

Clinton Road Witches Can Crawl Inside Your Mind

After high school, I started working in Chilton Hospital’s Emergency room – the night shift. One Saturday night an ambulance brought in a woman kicking and screaming with third-degree burns on her legs. She was high on heroin and claimed to be a witch.  I asked the ambulance driver where they found her. “Walking along Rt. 23 near Clinton Road,” he said. She was up there with a group of people worshiping Satan when they decided to throw her into a bonfire. After we gave her something to bring her down from the drugs, she became violent to the point where I had to tie her down with restraints.  She was yelling things like, “My powers are too strong for you,” and “I’m going to crawl into your mind.”  Well, it must have worked because I haven’t forgotten about her.  –Ron S.

Mob Rub-Outs and the Head in the Bag

Reading some of your Clinton Road stories made me think of a story a guy I worked with went through.  He was riding his bike along Clinton Road when a huge bird suddenly flew out of the woods right in front of him and flew off.  He was very startled, so he stopped and got off his bike.  He started walking into the woods, and another bird came flying out.  He thought he recognized the bird type.  They were vultures. Trying to figure out why vultures would be flying around in the middle of nowhere, he walked farther into the woods.  He saw a large bag, so he walked over to it and started to open it.  He saw a human head in it.  This shook him up a little, so he ran back to the road, and started biking out to get a cop.  He flagged a passing car, who then notified the cops.  This started a long string of events in the police investigation, involving a mob rub-out,  leading to a murder arrest .   –Tim

Bodybag on Clinton Road

I’ve had many weird experiences up on Clinton Road.  I was coming home one night with a friend, and we approached the curve located in the middle of Clinton Rd. There, laying in the road was someone in a bodybag. The blood could be seen on the bag. I put the car in reverse, and went back the way I came.  We called the police.  They found nothing, no blood, no body, no trace of anyone.  –Bob E.

Clinton Road NOT A Joke

The clinton road cop.

Wow was this place scary.  I was there a few times before and it wasn’t that bad – except when we got a flat in the center of the ten mile road.   When the cop asked what we were doing we lied.  We asked why he was on such a scary road.  His reply was “I’m only out here because I have a gun.”  –Anonymous

Clinton Road, New Jersey: The scariest and strangest road in the U.S.

“It’s like a dark highway into people’s innermost fears.”

That’s how Mark Moran, publisher and co-creator of the Weird NJ magazine and website , sums up Clinton Road, a quiet and twisty stretch of road roughly 55 miles northwest of New York City.

Moran, along with Weird NJ co-creator Mark Sceurman, knows a thing or two about the strange, the mysterious and, well, many things that are just plain weird.

Clinton Road is all of those things and much, much more.

This eerie 10 mile stretch of road sits in a quiet corner of the Garden State. Clinton Road isn’t far from the hustle and bustle of Manhattan, but it’s not exactly near much of anything.

Beginning at the fairly well-trafficked NJ Route 23, Clinton Road winds its way north, before terminating at Upper Greenwood Lake. Other than trees, picturesque Clinton Reservoir, a few bridges and the very occasional house set back from the road, there isn’t all that much to see.

Unless you happen to see a sofa in the road, or the pack of blood-thirsty cannibals lurking in the shadows, hoping you’ll stop your car to investigate.

Before meeting the two Marks from Weird NJ, I’d finally dared to travel down Clinton Road at nighttime. My traveling companion for this drive into the unknown was the stout-hearted Michael Schuy, the 13-year-old-son of a neighborhood friend.

My job was to keep an eye on the road, and remain vigilant for ghosts and, perhaps, even a visit from the Jersey Devil himself. Mike, meanwhile, kept careful watch on the woods, along with our survival gear which included, in order of importance: two bottles of soda, licorice, a pair of flashlights and, just in case, a rosary his mother had given him before setting out.

Several passes up and down Clinton Road revealed nothing more sinister than a busted transistor radio in the middle of the road. We decided to keep its partially smashed electronic remains as a trophy of our bravery.

Weeks later, in the light of day, and with Weird NJ’s Mark Moran and Mark Sceurman as my guides, Clinton Road is more of a history lesson than 10-mile-long spook house.

“Let’s see, what did we get in trouble for last time,” joked Sceurman, as he steered his SUV right, off Route 23 and onto Clinton Road. There are several locations you can park along the road, but venturing deeper into the surrounding woods requires an official hiking permit.

After a mile, the houses become scarcer and the woods begin to loom over the roadway. The weather was brisk and the trees bare of leaves but, in the daytime, Clinton Road feels lonely rather than unsettling. A rickety abandoned house with warning signs to “Keep Out” at least added a hint of danger and mystery.

“People definitely play on the legend [of Clinton Road],” said Mark Moran. He mentions the menacing black truck that lurks on the road. Appearing out of nowhere, the truck gets extremely close to your rear bumper, flashes its lights, and then suddenly disappears into the night.

Sure enough, during my earlier Clinton Road visit, I’d noticed a black truck traveling in the other direction each time I drove down the road. The truck’s blazing fog-lights and loud exhausr made it stand out, though I’m positive there was nothing ghostly about this grumbling pick-up.

“We don’t really expect anything paranormal,” explained Mark Moran. “We explore folklore, we’re not interested in proving if a story is true or not. We believe in ghost stories, they tell us a lot about the human psyche. We’ve never said any place was haunted, we’re just sharing people’s stories.”

Having visited and chronicled countless bizarre tales and legends, Moran says this unassuming stretch of road remains unique. “Clinton Road kind of wrote itself.”

Reports of strange occurrences continue to bring the Weird NJ team back to Clinton Road. “We hear about the strangest things…lights over the water, UFOs, snow in July. It keeps us coming back,” adds Sceurman.

The first bridge we cross, a sturdy stone affair with rushing rapids beneath it, is famous amongst Clinton Road fans for the tale of the mischievous ghost of a boy who drowned there. Legend has it, if you toss coins over the bridge and into the water below, the boy’s ghost will throw them back, or place them in the middle of the road.

We attempted to conjure the spirit world with several dimes and quarters but, in this instance, the ghost boy opted to keep the change.

The Clinton Ironworks is even stranger, and the structure is often mistaken for being some type of Druid creation, or a temple to the occult. Built in the early-1800s, this pyramid-shaped structure was part of a short-lived iron making community which faded away in the 1850s. Today, it’s surrounded by chain link fence, but is easily visible from the road.

Next is a visit to the aptly-named Dead Man’s Curve. This bend in the road lives up to its name, if only because it’s the sharpest corner on Clinton Road and could easily catch out the unwary. Ghosts, the occult and even KKK rituals have all been linked to this particularly menacing corner. The graffiti-covered barriers were put up fairly recently, according to Mark Sceurman.

Yet nothing comes close the wild stories linked to Cross Castle, a former mansion that was left to rot in the woods after being gutted by fire. For years, the decaying remains of this once grand estate served as the unofficial epicenter of Clinton Road folklore.

Some stories are more than tall tales, however. Before it was demolished in the 1980s, many people reported being physically affected by the site, or coming across unexplained rock formations and eerie writing on the building’s walls. One visitor snapped an image of perplexing graffiti at Cross Castle, and on a plank of wood placed nearby. These odd ramblings turned out to be from the official Lex Satanicus,’ the La Veyan Church of Satan’s code of conduct.

Cross Castle is long gone, but the site remains accessible via hiking paths. I opted to stay closer to the relative safety of Clinton Road, thank you very much.

“What’s strange is that Paradiso Road, which runs about parallel to Clinton Road, is even lonelier,” says Mark Sceurman. “But it has nothing, no legends or stories connected to it.”

Clinton Road remains one-of-a-kind as the strangest, most mysterious and, yes, the weirdest road you’ll ever encounter.

Would You Dare Drive Down New Jersey’s Most Haunted Road?

• Share on Facebook
• Share on Twitter

It's spooky.

New Jersey is full of abandoned towns , creepy things to do, and even some paranormal places.

Growing up in New Jersey, you hear tales about weird places like The Devil's Tree, Gravity Hill, and the most haunted road: Clinton Road.  They're supposedly all haunted.

Out of these places, the only one I've been to is The Devil's Tree, which is in Basking Ridge.  The backstory is that it's allegedly a place where people were hung from, so it's haunted.  Legend has it , that you're not supposed to touch the tree, otherwise, some harm will come to you.

When my friends and I visited late one night in college, I wasn't brave enough to touch the tree.  I think one of my other friends did.  Thankfully, he's okay - as far as I know.

If you thought The Devil's Tree was spooky, wait until you hear about Clinton Road in West Milford.

Weird NJ explains that Clinton Road is allegedly haunted by a ghost boy who likes to play games with visitors.  For example, if you throw coins in the river, he'll give them back to you.

Per Weird NJ , Clinton Road is home to Cross Castle which burned down years ago.  Allegedly dark groups like to gather at the castle, so you're warned to stay in your car whenever you're driving in the area,  I don't know how much of that I believe, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Would you be brave enough to drive down Clinton Road?  And if you've ever done it, do you have any creepy stories to share?

The most haunted road in New Jersey

• Share on Facebook
• Share on Twitter

Every day I get a ton of email, most of it unwanted, but I always look forward to getting email from Only in New Jersey, because I almost always learn something I didn’t know or see something I’ve never seen before. This week I was reminded of a New Jersey road that has come up on the show many times as being particularly spooky: Clinton Road in West Milford .

There are multiple legends surrounding the road, including the belief that the ghost of a little boy hangs around under a bridge and if you throw coins down in the water, he will throw them back at you.

According to Weird New Jersey, one version of the story says that the little boy was killed by a car when he leaned over to pick up a quarter, which is why he now hates coins .

There are also the remains of a building called the Cross Castle where devil worshippers were said to have held their satanic rituals.

Weird, deformed animals have also been spotted near the castle. People have spotted what they believe to be hellhounds running loose. There is also the remains of a building used as an iron smelter; legend has it that druids use it for worship.

There is one real, verifiable and gruesome occurrence along the road. In 1983 a cyclist saw a turkey vulture snacking on something: it turned out to be a human body, dumped there in a trash bag by mobster Richard “The Iceman” Kuklinski .

There are more legends surrounding the road, so if you’re feeling brave, head to Clinton Road in Passaic County.

This Is Supposedly The Most Haunted Road In New Jersey

• Share on Facebook
• Share on Twitter
• Print this page

As soon as September hits, I start celebrating the “spooky season”. I love to go to all of the best Halloween attractions and stops within the state and this New Jersey street is a must for me this Halloween season.

According to dangerousroads.com , there’s one road specifically that takes the title for being the scariest road in New Jersey. Clinton Road in West Milford, Passaic County, New Jersey has become infamous for extremely strange things happening to numerous people.

Apparently, there have been many reports of strange activity occurring at night on this specific road. There were many horrific activities that have taken place on this road like “satanic cult rituals, ghost sightings, and some kind of hell hound spotted”, according to dangerousroads.org.

This infamous New Jersey road is in the running for being one of the spookiest roads in the entire country. The haunted path is a 10-mile-long paved road that feels like it takes forever to drive on, say the people who have dared to travel along it.

The road itself is in a heavily wooded area that had almost no houses, businesses, or connecting roads surrounding it. There are many scary stories that surround the road like the story of The Cross Castle.

It was built near the road in 1905 and burned down only 14 years later. The story is, that if you get too close, you may be able to spot some ghost activity near the scene.

There have been sightings of ghosts, strange creatures, a gathering of witches, and many more hair-raising sightings. If you want to get spooky this Halloween season and drive down Clinton Road yourself, it’s located off Route 23 in West Milford, NJ.

Israel evacuates a border town as war with Hamas threatens to expand

I drove on some of the most haunted roads in the us, and my last stop was straight out of a horror movie.

Riverside Drive, Clinton Road, and Shades of Death Road in New Jersey are said to be haunted.

Last year, I visited all of them on a spooky road trip ahead of Halloween.

I didn't see any ghosts, but a local told me she'd seen a ghostly figure on Clinton Road.

A few years ago, I wrote a story about the most haunted roads to drive in the US. I've been dying to visit them ever since.

Three of the spookiest roads — Riverside Drive (nicknamed "Annie's Road"), Clinton Road, and Shades of Death Road — happen to be in New Jersey, within driving distance of New York City, where I live.

With the blessing of my editor, I embarked on a haunted road trip to check out the mysterious sites for myself. My partner came along to take photos so I wouldn't have to walk through creepy streets in the middle of the woods alone.

Our first stop was Totowa, New Jersey, to explore Riverview Drive (also known as "Annie's Road"), about a 20-minute drive outside New York City.

The road is nicknamed for the ghost of a woman named Annie who, as legend has it, was hit by a truck and killed on her prom night in the 1960s.

Motorists have reported hearing screams, seeing mysterious fog, and experiencing interference in their phones and cameras.

A red bloodstain was also said to appear on the road until it was repaved in the early 2000s.

Adding to the spookiness, the street borders Totowa's Laurel Grove Cemetery.

Some believe that the spirits of the cemetery also haunt the road with unusual fog patterns and screaming sounds.

Walking along "Annie's Road," we didn't hear any screams or notice any signs of paranormal activity.

I did get some strange looks from passing drivers as I walked along the gate between the road and the cemetery.

I also didn't notice any interference with my electronics.

I printed out driving directions in case my phone lost service, but everything seemed normal.

No unusual fog patterns, either.

Some have reported seeing figures emerging from clouds of fog.

I asked a few locals if they were familiar with the legends of "Annie's Road." A woman named Denise said she'd never seen anything there, but she warned us about our next stop, Clinton Road.

Denise said she'd visited Clinton Road with her niece about five years ago and warned us that it's "super haunted."

"I'm telling you, we went on that road one night because it was Halloween," she said. "It scared the s--- out of me, I swear I saw something. I literally thought I saw somebody watching us in the woods and run across the street right before our headlights hit."

As we drove towards Clinton Road, I couldn't help but feel like that character in a horror movie who is warned against visiting a haunted place but decides to go anyway.

You know, those characters that make you yell "Don't go inside!" at the screen.

It seems obvious that if a place is said to be haunted, you should stay away, right? But something about ghost stories continues to draw people in.

After about half an hour of driving, we reached Clinton Road in West Milford, New Jersey.

The road contains the remains of an abandoned iron furnace, as well as several bridges where there have been reported ghost sightings.

According to local folklore, "The Ghost Boy of Clinton Road" will return coins people throw into the brook that runs alongside it.

Some visitors have reported seeing the boy's reflection in the water . Rumors of aliens and Satanic cult activities also keep visitors on edge.

First, we stopped by Clinton Furnace, an abandoned iron furnace from the 19th century.

The furnace was established by William Jackson in 1826 and closed in 1852. The crumbling structure is still visible from the street.

The woods surrounding the abandoned furnace were full of "no trespassing" signs, so we couldn't get a closer look.

The furnace was also fenced off.

We stopped at a nearby bridge to see if it was home to the haunting spirit.

The bridge was near the abandoned Clinton Furnace, and it featured a surprisingly high drop into a gorge.

The bridge had a pentagram spray-painted on it, so it seemed like a good place to start.

The pentagram symbol has many historical uses and associations. Today, it's often used in modern-day practices of witches, pagans, and occultists (those who believe in supernatural beings ).

I tossed a few coins into the brook to see if the local ghost boy would return them.

Visitors have reported seeing a boy's reflection in the water after throwing in coins, or hearing coins hit their car as they drove away, according to Weird New Jersey magazine.

I didn't get my change back, nor did I see any signs of a ghost boy.

A small price to pay for the adventure.

We continued on to another bridge on Clinton Road, situated on a sharp turn nicknamed "Dead Man's Curve."

"Dead man's curve" is a ubiquitous name for a dangerously sharp turn. There's even a 1964 song called "Dead Man's Curve"  by the rock duo Jan and Dean.

I tossed the last of my coins into the brook and waited.

Once again, there were no signs of paranormal activity.

While we didn't see any ghosts (or get our coins back), Clinton Road features several gorgeous hiking trails that I'd visit again.

Fall is a great time for road trips to enjoy all of the foliage.

At last, we began the 50-minute drive to our final destination: Shades of Death Road in Warren County, New Jersey.

Yes, that is the real name of the street. It was amusing to hear my GPS chirp in its peppy voice, "Turn right onto Shades of Death Road."

As if the name "Shades of Death" wasn't scary enough, some say it's derived from a series of grisly murders that occurred there in the 1920s and '30s.

By other accounts, the road is named for  malaria outbreaks that occurred in the 1850s .

For such a spooky name, Shades of Death Road is actually pretty quaint.

Country shops and well-manicured homes line the street, as well as horses and cows grazing in their enclosures.

Like Clinton Road, the surrounding woods warned against trespassing.

Perhaps one too many ghost hunters have been found wandering in the woods.

We ducked into a store to ask locals about the road. I kid you not, the news playing on the radio inside announced that a body had been found nearby.

I froze. It was straight out of a horror movie.

According to the radio report, police were investigating a murder after the body of a 30-year-old woman had been found in the woods. I contacted the Warren County Sheriff's Office to learn more.

Rich McQuade, an investigator at the Warren County Sherrif's Office, told me he wasn't aware of any such ongoing investigations.

"I remember several deaths on that road," he said. "It's probably an old story if I'm not mistaken."

While we didn't see any ghosts or experience any paranormal activity on our haunted road trip, the legends remain fascinating bits of folklore.

I do love a good ghost story.
