Weird NJ
The Jersey Devil & Other Bizarre Beasts
Your Field Guide To New Jersey’s Cryptid Creatures
True Life Encounters With The Unknown
Have you ever been in a situation you cannot explain? Witnessed something so strange you were afraid to tell anyone? All the stories you’ll read in this new special Weird NJ edition have happened to these people when they least expected it. From Bigfoot to Big Red Eyes and weird winged creatures from all over the state of New Jersey and beyond, these sightings have been happening for many years. Some believe more than a few Jersey Devils still lurk among the Pine Barrens, and Mantis Men roam the banks of the Musconetcong River. Although we may live in a small state, we certainly have our share of unexplained encounters. Be they hairy, scaly to winged, big or small – if it flies, swims, walks or crawls, Weird New Jersey’s got them all!
We have gone over the last 30 years of Weird NJ letters and emails about people encountering the Jersey Devil, Big Red Eye and other things they cannot explain. These folks have no reason to make these stories up, and they have no one else to tell them to, except here in Weird NJ.
For such a small state we certainly have our share of cryptids—creatures whose existence can neither be proved or disproved, and certainly not in the mainstream of science. We try and investigate these sightings and speak with eyewitnesses, and we’ve found that their stories never waver.
This is the new and expanded second edition to our "Bizarre Beasts" issue that we published in 2017. That special issue sold out quickly, so don't miss this chance to get your hands on this new version before they are gone forever. This is a limited printing of 5,000. $12.99 includes postage. It will be available at select bookstores and newsstands starting April 15th.

What would you like your tombstone to say about you? Well, if you're the kind of person that loves exploring the infinite variety strangeness in this state we call home, the answer to that question is simple – Weird NJ, of course! Our new T-shirt is inspired by the carving style and motifs of 18th century tombstones found in New Jersey's oldest graveyards. Whether you're a hardcore taphophile or just a casual tombstone tourist, this shirt is one you should be happy to me caught dead in. Oh, and don't let the image of the Jersey Devil on the stone lead you to believe that he's dead, he's still out there marauding...this is a memorial to just one of his many victims.
