I used to live in NJ (New Jersey, USA), and my boyfriend had an issue -- once I read it, I was hooked! The mag has been around for about 10 years now, I think. It's run by two guys, both named Mark, who started it as a fun little newsletter for their friends, and over the years it's turned into a real magazine. Last year Barnes & Noble published their first book.
They also have a website. The Link isHERE
One of my favorite stories is of the "Jackson-Whites", supposedly this inbred family living in the mountains of North Jersey. Legend has it that they are descended from a mixture of escaped slaves, Native Americans, and Prussian soldiers -- or so I remember, but I haven't looked it up in a while. Another story is rather sad -- some psychiatric doctor in the early part of the century used his position to essentially condemn an entire family (the "Kallilaks", or something like that) as idiots/morons/mongoloids, in the labels of the times. Most of them were evidently just poor, malnourished and uneducated. The doctor took photos of them, then altered the photos to make them look goulish (pre-Photoshop, that).
There's also plenty of ghost stuff and ufo stuff, mostly first-hand accounts. The two Marks basically travel all over NJ, to various small towns, hit the local diner, and while chowing down on burgers ask "So what's weird around here?" Then they go looking for whatever the locals tell them is weird in the area. The results, if they're any good, end up in the magazine. There are also stories about serial-killers, strange rock formations, assorted cryptids, etc.
If anyone has a look at the site, let me know what you think.
