The book is divided by North, Central, and Southern New Jersey. I was disappointed that there were only 2 locations covered in southern New Jersey, but I'm sure that's a product of the part of the state where the author primarily lives and works, closer to New York. She introduces each site, some of its history and legend, includes some accounts by witnesses, and details whatever experience she encountered in her investigation. She pokes holes in a number of legends not supported by the actual historical research.
Some stories are more interesting than others. If nothing else, there is a lot of New Jersey geography and history covered in this slim volume. (
