The Pine Barrens

On this week’s episode I am starting a series of stories that are great to listen to around the campfire starting with a heavy hitter, the famous ghosts of the Pine Barrens in New Jersey. There is one very famous inhabitant of the Pine Barrens, but I was surprised by how many other famous ghost stories are littered about. Of course, the most famous inhabitant is the Jersey Devil, who sightings are still reported of today. 

And a lot of these stories are really well documented! I found so much that this became a pretty long episode. But it’s all so good. 

So lets get into shall we? Grab yourself a cup of tea, make sure the doors are locked, and the sage is close by. I have a story to tell you.
