You gotta love these books - they originated with the serial publicationg "Weird NJ" and have expanded all over the country (and international, with Weird England). Stories are taken from regular folks, and "cleaned up" for publication. And they cover a wide range of oddness, from strange people to odd structures, eerie places and reputed hauntings.
