Sussex County Hauntings and Other Strange Phenomena: Part II is the second in a series describing firsthand accounts from residents of local counties in North Jersey. Some of the topics touched on in Part I include the mines that fed much of the economy in this area for centuries, Bigfoot sightings, unidentified flying object and/or extraterrestrial sightings, and other strange phenomena, of course. Eleanor Wagner investigates more of the same in Part II, delving into the history of some local landmarks like The Great Gorge Playboy Club and Mountain Creek in Vernon, Gingerbread Castle in Hamburg, Brick and Mortar Marketplace in Lafayette, Stanhope House, Crescent Theatre in Sussex, Lusscroft Farm in Wantage, and countless other locations. We’ve barely brushed the surface of this existence plane; only time and experience will enable us to truly comprehend it. Take another journey through time and history… but leave the light on.  Click here to view the gallery.

It reached the other side and actually stepped over the guardrail without effort, proceeding down the embankment and into the swamp on the other side. Who the heck would be going into the swamp at this time of night? Jean Marie was stunned and not quite sure what to make of it. Any human, even extraordinarily tall, would have difficulty getting over the giant guardrail. She wondered if the mysterious scream she heard was connected. She called her friend Robin as soon as she was safely home. ‘You're never gonna’ believe this,' she told her. ‘But I think I just saw Bigfoot at Owens Station Crossing.'"
