	Weird NJ 's Mark Moran Interviewed at Kyonsi Online NY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Weird NJ 's Mark Moran Interviewed at Kyonsi Online NY In the transitional phase of Kyonsi Online over a year ago I interviewed Mark Moran from Weird New Jersey Magazine, Weird NJ has been a favorite read of mine for over 5 years.
		The best thing about Weird NJ is you can live anywhere in the world and still be amused by the articles of oddities in their magazine.
		Some of the most flattering responses we get are from people who started out going to Weird NJ spots simply for their own thrills and kicks who are now genuinely interested in the history and folklore of the Garden State.

	Weird NJ
		Some of the things that WEIRD NJ fans share is a very good imagination, a creative mind and a sense of adventure...for example...
		Born in Manhattan, but moved to Lodi, NJ in 1968 when I was 6 yrs old and I knew right away that I was in a weird and magical place.
		These are not weird "locations" as in Weird NJ but strange, not just spooky, but also miraculous, positive, "happenings" and life "experiences".

		And the weird thing was, that who ever they encountered was more than willing share a story or offer a lead to set Mark and Mark off on another adventure into the unknown.
		His interest in the weird began at a young age when he sought to find out somethingï¿½ï¿½anythingï¿½ï¿½interesting about the boring suburban NJ neighborhood he called home.
		His love of local history and all things weird sparked a crazy idea that made him first think of the Weird NJ concept.

	Weird NJ book review. Strange Encounters - paranormal mysteries
		The stories, many of which are accounts sent in by Weird NJ magazine readers, are short and it's easy to flip the book open to a random page and get a fix of weirdness before putting it down again.
		Weird New Jersey, a magazine which I've been a fan of for the past few years, goes far beyond just the odd and uncanny, they serve up an educational smorgasbord of historic and cultural articles that shed much light on some otherwise not-well-known facts about New Jersey.
		The long anticipated Weird NJ book of New Jersey's local legends and best kept secrets is a must have for anyone interested in strange mysteries, legends, folklore and the supernatural, Jersey resident or not.

		By the seventh issue of Weird NJ we started to realize that our little hobby had taken on a life of its own, and there seemed to be no end in sight to the amount of material that was out there waiting to be uncovered.
		The more that Weird NJ got passed around, the more these never before heard tales would come in from all corners of the state.
		After “Weird NJ: Your Travel Guide to New Jersey’s Local Legend and Best Kept Secrets” was published in 2003 another funny thing happened—people from all over the country began writing to us, telling us strange tales from their home states.

		Hence, Weird N.J. was born -- a magazine dedicated to exploring the state's oddities.
		Mark Sceurman, one of the publishers of the magazine, said it best when he described NJ as one big highway--everyone from elsewhere is driving over, under and through it.
		Other people have tried to seek out the bizarre in their own states, but those efforts fall far short of Weird N.J. Must be because of the guys' dedication or else there's more material in New Jersey than one could imagine! Thanks, Libby, for bringing attention to this well done regional publication.

		Unlike Weird NJ, you won't find much about ghost stories, UFO sightings and urban myths in "New Jersey Curiosities"; instead, the focus is on real, specific locations that have down-to-earth yet interesting histories.
		Being a fan of Weird NJ for several years, I recently decided to try out other books that chornicle the strange, unusual and the funny stuff that can be found within our borders.
		The Weird NJ book is all about stories and myths, and although you can go out and visit some of the things referenced in the book, it isn't meant as a travel guide.

		I just recently joined up with blurty, and since I noticed that there wasn't a Weird NJ community already, I decided to create one.
		If anyone feels the need to violate the rules more than once, they will be dealt with depending on the severity of their violation.
		There shouldn't be a need for these rules, but I do want to keep a nice happy community here for fellow Weird NJ lovers.
