Devil's Tree, New Jersey - Why So Evil?

Click here to read the story:

Hey guys, let's take a look at the Devil's tree in Bernards Township, New Jersey. This oak tree is said to be more than 250 years old and is considered pure evil. A closer look shows that many people have tried to cut it down and it is now protected with a chain link fence. How does a tree... get so much attention? Locals tell you that anyone who disrespects this tree by spitting, peeing on it or simply taunting it will have serious consequences. You spit on this tree, you will get a severe case of strep throat. One guy peed on it and hit a deer while driving back. Another guy mocked the tree and had a nose bleed right away. Anyone who touches the tree and tries to eat at a restaurant on the same day will find that his hands have turned black. What makes this tree so evil? Because it has 2 very real stories behind it.
The first story is that this township was the headquarters of Ku Klux Klan in New Jersey. After the defeat in the Civil War, many southern war veterans moved to this part of the state. In fact there were so many of them in this area that there is a place nearby called Rebel Hill. But the most active period of the KKK began right after the movie The Birth of a nation in 1915. It is a fact that they lynched numerous black people on this tree. Ironically, these lynchings were led by a Reverend called Carl Mellberg of the Basking Ridge Methodist Church. You can see that this tree must have been a very convenient place because it is far away from any police station or big cities back then. The KKK often lynched just any black person they could find on this tree simply to show their power. This was not limited to just black men but they also hung black women and children. This is one big reason why locals believe that there are so many trapped souls in this tree and people who put up their ears on the trunk claim that you can hear screaming and begging from inside the tree. Guys who drive by during midnight have also reported seeing hanging bodies swaying from the branches.
The second story which is also true is that a farmer who owned a large piece of land in this area, went bankrupt during the great depression. This was a time when farmers began burning corn rather than coal in their stoves because corn was cheaper. Unable to feed his wife and kids, this farmer brought them here on a nice day for a picnic, killed them all and then hung himself on the tree.
Now, with so many homicides and suicide, this tree has a lot of negative energy. Devil worshipers use this energy till date to jinx their enemies. They come here after midnight and place weird objects like this one in the tree. They believe that the trapped souls will transfer their energy on the object if it is placed here for a full lunar cycle. This strange wooden thing was most probably placed by a devil worshipper. He or she would later take this and bury it under the enemy's yard which will bring misfortune to him.
If you visit the tree after dark, you will be followed by a big black truck while driving back. This story seems to have many eyewitness accounts. The truck will follow you up until a certain point and after the road bends, you won't see it. Some say this makes sense because there is a sign that says park closed 1/2 hours after sunset, violators will be prosecuted and the park ranger could be driving the black truck. Others say that the sign was only put up recently but this has been happening for many years. Is it possible that there is a sentinel guarding the devil's tree?
Also, right below the devil's tree is a boulder called the heat rock or the devil's rock. It is true that it is unusually warmer than the rest of the area, even during winter. Is it because there is some hidden natural phenomena like hot springs underneath or because of paranormal activity?
A while ago, I posted a video about the Devil's Tree in Florida which has an even better story attached to it, but this tree has become so notorious that they are making a movie about it now. I hope you liked this video, I am Praveen Mohan. Thanks a lot for watching, don't forget to subscribe and I'll talk to you soon.

Drive to Basking Ridge, New Jersey

A three minute, time-lapsed video of my drive to the office. Recorded on my cell phone's camera, this is not the entire journey of course. But accelerated 800% it goes a little faster than real time, which makes it close to half the total distance; packed into three minutes of runtime ... I hope this will be fun to watch!

Madison New Jersey

Get to know the town of Madison New Jersey. Madison is a borough in Morris County, New Jersey, in the United States. MADISON, N.J., is so quaint and charming that people often say the downtown could pass for a movie set — which probably explains why it has done duty as a setting in films like The World According to Garp and The Family Stone, and in episodes of The Sopranos.

But there is much more to Madison than its manicured facade. As home to two colleges — Drew University and Fairleigh Dickinson University's College at Florham — this borough of 16,000 residents, 25 miles west of New York, has an international flavor. And by the end of the summer, the area that includes Madison will gain the New York Jets football team, which is completing a corporate headquarters and training facility in Florham Park, on Madison's western border, and a number of executives and players are expected to become Madison residents.

It's like a little U.N. around here sometimes, and I mean that in a good way, said Adrienne Kern, a mother of two, who has lived here 11 years with her husband, David. People think there are just Wall Streeters living here.

Of course, diversity is a relative term in the suburbs, as revealed by numbers from the 2000 Census — the most recent available: 6 percent of the borough's population counted themselves as Hispanic and 4 percent as Asian. Of the students in Madison schools last year, 7.5 percent cited Spanish as their native language, and 1.7 percent cited Korean.

All of these assets — in addition to Madison's accessibility to Manhattan via New Jersey Transit — have helped buffer real estate prices somewhat, despite the general downturn. The schools are good, and crime is low, Ms. Holden said. The hot topic at the last borough council meeting, she added, was the possibility of changing the Memorial Day parade route.

Yes, Starbucks has moved in, and there is a Jaguar dealership on Main Street. But then again the shops at the center of town, near a tall clock, include an old-time independent pharmacy, a photo shop and a family jeweler. A hot-dog vendor works the sidewalk.

Main Street, in particular, can become crowded, even on days when there are no parades, and Ms. Holden is hoping to get a developer to build a parking garage in the downtown area. (Street parking is not always plentiful.)

It's quiet here, and you can't go out at 2 in the morning and go to the diner, said Jennifer Catrini, a stay-at-home mother. But there's no anonymity here, and a lot of people really like that.

Route 124, or Main Street, runs east-west through town and is lined with grocery stores, car dealerships, restaurants and shops. To the west of the town center is Drew University, on a picturesque wooded campus. The Fairleigh Dickinson campus straddles the border with Florham Park.

The train line runs parallel to Route 124, one or two blocks to the south, and the town hall, the train station and a Presbyterian church, with a pretty white spire, are near one another. Madison could pass (and sometimes has passed, in the movies) for a New England town.

The mix of houses, while relatively heavy on colonials, remains fairly eclectic. Interspersed among the center-hall homes on Prospect Street and its surrounding neighborhood are sprawling brick 1950s and '60s homes and impressive Victorians.

The feel of the town is very pleasant, said Patricia Bowers, a Prudential New Jersey Properties agent based in Verona, because the land surrounding the houses tends to be slightly larger than what you would expect for small colonials.

Madison, named after President James Madison, was nicknamed the Rose City because of a 19th-century rose-growing industry started by wealthy residents drawn to Madison by its location on the Morris & Essex train line. The town's seal includes a rose; its Web site is rosenet.org.

Abandoned Smokeless Gun Powder Factory Mill Howell NJ Bear Swap Natural Aera

Deep in the woodlands, on the northwest side of Bear Swamp Natural Area, the second growth forest holds the remnants of a place where smokeless powder was first produced for the United States Military by Hudson Maxim. His older brother, Hiram, invented the Maxim gun, the first truly efficient automatic machine gun. The invention of smokeless gun powder and the invention of the machine gun were a breakthrough in arms manufacturing which included both sporting and military firearms. Not only did it create a design and manufacturing change, but it would change the way wars were fought.

Activity involving the powder plant was centered around the area adjacent to the railroad tracks called Maxim. This is where the names of our Township street, Maxim Road, originated. Although a part of Howell Township, until the mid 1970’s, addresses on Maxim Road were listed in the telephone book as being in Maxim, not Howell.

The rail line bisecting the tract was an important part of the life of the powder plant and of the small community of Maxim which bordered its tracks. In later years, a passenger line known as the Blue Comet traveled this route. For decades now infrequent slow moving freight trains have been the only activity utilizing these tracks. For the most part, a trip through the interior of Bear Swamp Natural Area conveys the welcome peacefulness and aura of a time long past.
