- A series which explores haunted locations in New Jersey, as well as famous myths and legends.
- Located a short walk off of the Henry Hudson Trail in Atlantic Highlands is an almost hidden ancient spring (previously featured in an issue of WNJ). The Lenape considered the water to be sacred and have healing properties. When explorer Henry Hudson landed nearby in 1609, he was warned to not disturb the area, but ordered his men to collect water from it anyway. What happened next was an unfortunate chain of events that would become known as the "Curse of Hudson Springs". Does any supernatural energy remain here? Is it possible the spring is haunted by Hudson's doomed crew or even the Lenape themselves?
- On December 31, 1783, six deserters of the British Army jumped off their ship which was anchored in Sandy Hook Bay and preparing to return to England. They were chased by Lt. Hamilton Douglas-Halyburton and 13 others in a small boat, before they got lost in a storm and froze to death shortly after. Their bodies were recovered and buried in a mass grave on Sandy Hook. Over the years the grave had been desecrated, forgotten, and then re-discovered before the bodies were disinterred and transported to a cemetery in New York. Does the ghostly presence of Halyburton and his men still haunt Sandy Hook?

- Middletown's Whipporwill Valley Road has long been a Weird N.J. favorite. Visitors frequent the road on a nightly basis, hoping to spot some of the many legends that have developed over the years: witches, Satanism, the Ku Klux Klan, murder, and a range of creepy activity. But how much, if any of it is true? In this documentary, we take a fact-and-fiction approach then hit the road for a paranormal investigation to see if there is any ghostly energy present. Nearby Cooper Road and the legend of "Cry Baby Bridge" are also examined at the end.
- Vito Genovese was an ordinary gangster who rose to power during Prohibition and became one of the most powerful Mafia bosses in history. The amount of murders he was responsible for is innumerable. He spent four decades in Monmouth County with residences in Atlantic Highlands and Middletown, one of which is now a public garden and park. This special edition of Haunted History takes a look at Vito's life and connections to Monmouth County, and then investigates one of the properties he lived at.
