Growing up in West Milford, New Jersey exposed me to hearing stories of Clinton Road throughout my life. Clinton Road is located in West Milford, NJ and is said to be one of the most haunted roads in the United States because of its numerous stories of paranormal activity. There is a story of a ghost boy who lives under a bridge and will throw coins back at you if you throw them in the water. Many people will test this story and throw coins into the water. Some people will swear that the boy threw a coin back and others will dismiss the story after nothing happens to them. Other than ghosts, this road is associated with Satanic rituals, cars that follow people but suddenly disappear, KKK meetings, dangerous animals, and even UFO sightings.
Coming from a person who lives in the town where the road is located and has driven on it many times, the road is creepy and I would personally not drive on it alone in the middle of the night. However, I have never experienced any paranormal activity while driving on it and when it comes down to it, the road is just a long, curvy road with terrible cell phone service. While reading other people's experiences online, it seems to be mixed with people who believe the road is haunted and people who do not. Attached is a link to some of the many stories associated with Clinton Road.

I will definitely have to visit this bridge! I never heard of this site and I wonder what the story is behind the ghost throwing coins back at you.
ReplyDeleteI live in Montville NJ so I have been aware of the legend of Clinton Rd for quite some time. I could just imagine driving down the road in the middle of the night, my car breaking down and not having any cell service! I am definitely going to make a trip up to West Milford very soon and test this theory out.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny I never heard of this road until recently, from my little brother actually. Then I seen the power point on it. I have heard of a road in Atco I believe, where a little boy ghost is there and playing with a ball. He supposedly got hit by a tractor trailer.
ReplyDeleteThat is so interesting, but scary at the same time. I have heard about coin thrown back at you. But I had no idea there are more stories about this particular road.
ReplyDeleteI've driven on this road many times, even at night, and have never seen a thing!
ReplyDeleteI swear one of these days I'm going to visit every weirdNJ place just to say I've been there. Even if they're proven to be completely fake, they're essential pieces of local legend and Americana that are more valuable as stories than if they were proven real.
