River Drive

New Jersey · United States · Haunted site

A young woman in a nightgown is seen along the road, floating at about the height of a first floor window. A second figure looks something like a fish.

Two very different things are reported along River Drive at Westville, New Jersey.

The first is a young woman in a nightgown, seen floating at roughly the level of a first floor window, above the road.

The second is stranger. Witnesses describe something that looks like a fish, or a mermaid.

Tributes to her are left on one of the bridges, which is the detail that lifts this entry. Somebody, or a succession of somebodies, has been going to that bridge and leaving things.

Westville sits where Big Timber Creek meets the Delaware, and the whole town is built around water.

A mermaid figure is almost unique in this collection. Nothing else in it describes anything of the kind, and it belongs to a much older European tradition than anything else on this road.

The road and bridges are public.
