Absecon Cemetery/The temple of Hope and Knowledge/Insulator House


So since I had nothing to do today and I haven’t gone in a while, I decided to go to a location today. I called up my Grandpa last night and he said he had a Dentist appointment this morning but after he could go. Since the places I wanted to go to were like right down the street it didn’t really matter what time we went. So after his appointment he called me up and i headed over to his house. 
The first place we went was to a cemetery in Absecon. Its located on New Jersey Ave. This guy told Weird NJ that we was there and he saw a little girl in the graveyard, when he looked back to see if she was there she was gone. So we checked it out. It was REALLY cold but on the bright side i got to use my new camera which worked out great. We took some pictures and there was really nothing to see so we got back in the car and headed to the next place.

The next place was the Temple of Hope and Knowledge. It is a church in shape of three pyramids. the two on the sides are little but the one in the middle is big. We tried to get in but there wasn’t even a doorknob! I don’t really know the story behind it but it’s a church located in Pomona on route 30. It is currently not called the temple of hope and knowledge, its another type of church and the yard and building is not very well maintained.

Lastly, we went to the Insulator house. It a house off of Jimmie Leeds road in Galloway that has all these little green bottles, for electricity or something,  on a fence. There are legit like a million of these bottles. I was afraid the guy who owned the house would come out and yell to stop taking pictures of his house but nothing happened. I’m always so paranoid! 


More locations to come soon!

Atco Ghost, Atsion Lake, Carranza Monument

So last night i called my grandpa and asked him even though it was short notice, if we wanted to go to do a Location today since we can't do it Monday. He said he had plans. So this morning my mom wakes me up saying that he just called saying his plans were cancelled. So i got up and packed up the car, picked up my grandpa and we went to Atco, NJ.
Atco, NJ is home to the Atco ghost located on Burnt Mill Road. They say a kid got hit by a car chasing his basketball. If you park at the end of the road and turn off the lights and the engine and wait the ghost will appear. Well since we were not doing this at night, we just went to the end of the road, saw that there were soccer players playing in the rec. field, then turned around and took a quick picture under the street sign.

Next we got on chew rd. and onto 206 and headed up to Atsion Lake. There is a mansion there that is supposedly haunted. We parked the car in the parking lot and walked around taking pictures of the mansion and other buildings around it. I was looking in the woods and i saw another building in there but i figured we can hit it on the way back home since we were passing it anyway. 

Next we got pizza at Red Star Pizzeria. I went to this place on my way back home from Hurricane Harbor at Great Adventure so i knew the pizza was good. We then headed towards Tabernacle to see the Carranza Monument. Its located on Carranza rd. So we got on the road and we drove, and drove, and drove until we were in the middle of the Pine Barrens of Warren State Forest and we still didn't see it. Then we found it! It was about 4 miles away from 206. We got out took some pictures and left.

After we got back on 206 we stopped to see the building i saw in the woods, turns out it was a church that had a whole bunch of old gravestones in it by it. So we took some pictures and left for home.

Haunted Church Tunnel/The Center for Molecular Medicine and Immunology


so yesterday i went on another on one of my little adventures.

Me and my grandfather traveled all the way up to Belleville, NJ to go take pictures of the Belleville Reformed Church and this abandoned Hospital called the Center for Molecular Medicine and Immunology. First we parked right on main street and walked up to the Belleville Reformed Church which is said to have haunted church tunnels underneath. it was founded in 1697 and was rebuilt in 1725 and again in 1807. It was a lookout for soldiers during the American Revolution. The current building was built in 1853. So we got out of the car and started taking pictures of the building. it was a beautiful building. Then my grandpa decided he wanted to go inside so i agreed and we tried opening every door but none of them would budge. it was a shame too because i really wanted to see the inside :( then we went around and found the cemetery were over 60 revolutionary soldiers are buried but just like the doors to the church the gate to the cemetery was locked and there was no way to get over the fence. so we go in the car and left to the next spot.

We only had to drive about 3 minuets and then out in this huge field was the Center for Molecular medicine and Immunology. It's now abandoned and falling apart but thats the beauty in abandoned buildings. So we going to walk around the block and up the driveway to the hospital but my grandpa couldn't walk that far. so we decided the drive around the back of it and walk to the front and take pictures but when we got to the back there was a cop. my heart sank but my grandpa wanted to get out and talk to the cop to see if we could just take pictures of the outside not the inside but when he talked to the women cop she said she really couldn't do that because she would defiantly get fired if she did which is totally understandable. She said if we wanted we could walk to the sidewalk in the front and take pictures there. So we drove around to the front and took pictures there.

After we were hungry and my grandpa wanted McDonalds and the nearest one was in East Orange. When we walked into the McDonalds everyone was starring at us because we the only white people there. The place was a dump too it was so gross. But we ate and got out ok. Now onto the next adventure!
