                                    Rumors and cruel vibes ...

                            Select a button - red, yellow or black,

                                              PRESS !!!

                                  - no one hears you scream

                             Alone on Clinton Road in West Milford

                      Halloween; when the trumpets announce midnight

                               Ghosts with red and yellow eyes

                                          Test your courage

                                 Jackpot ... paranormal activity

                           ...  you thought you had nerves of steel

                      (there is a real danger that you pee in your pants)

                                Whats the hell is going on here ?

                                          Take a pinch of salt 

                              and throw it over your left shoulder

                                 The mystery remains unsolved

Jennifer Proxenos Date: 10/17/2020 5:36:00 AM Imagine finding yourself alone, in one of the scariest roads in America at midnight on Halloween night - if rumors are true and perhaps one of the bad ghosts get you is a possibility, if they get a chance, for i would surely die of fright before they found me!

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 10/15/2020 10:25:00 AM Wow, Sunshine! I grew up in NJ and never heard about Clinton Road's paranormal activity. That's north Jersey, near my sister's home. (Laughed at the "pee in the pants" line!) There is another NJ spot called Green Light Cemetery where a man with a hook-hand protects the graves. Love your entry! Congratulations on a first-place win! Best wishes, Carolyn Login to Reply Carolyn Devonshire Date: 10/15/2020 12:50:00 PM If we had known about this when I was a teen, I'm sure we would have driven down Clinton Road! Carolyn Devonshire Date: 10/15/2020 12:15:00 PM Yes, I did look this up and found the Clinton Road hauntings online. I think "something" must be going on there or there wouldn't have been so many reports of strange happenings. Glad you introduced me t the story! Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 10/15/2020 10:41:00 AM - Many thanks for my place on your winner list, Carolyn :) - Strange that no one has heard of this ... I read about this online ... and wrote this poem .... whether it is true or not .. . I do not know :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Sam Kauffman Date: 10/11/2020 9:31:00 AM Spine chilling, Anne-Lise. Sounds like a creepy place to avoid on Halloween or any other dark and storm night!
