Clinton Road Does a phantom wolf roam the woods of Northwest NJ scaring unsuspecting motorists? Is the ghost of a man who lost his family in a fire walking the street searching for someone? Or, are there witches, cannibals, Nazis or the Mafia at work in these woods? For years, these and other stories have haunted an area in West Milford in Northwest NJ. Clinton Road runs through these sightings. The past holds many secrets. There are many unsolved historical mysteries that continue to interest people today. This paper will attempt to solve the mystery of Clinton Road by examining new and old evidence and resources.

When you first look at Clinton Road it looks like any normal country road. But looks can mislead you! Many people believe that Clinton Road is paranormal, or psychic. It is located in Passaic County, NJ. Clinton Road runs 10 miles off of Route 23. For more than a century, Clinton Road has been the site of many strange encounters and weird sightings. These happen still today. The road has many features like Cross Castle. Richard Cross built the castle as a shelter for his family in 1905. In 1927 on December 19 the castle burnt down killing him and his family. Since the death of Richard Cross people have reported seeing people in the woods. Many think that his ghost is haunting the woods.

There were, and are, many mysterious murders and killings on Clinton Road. For instance, in 1976 a boy living in the area took a walk down the road. He saw a quarter by one of the many bridges and decided to pick it up. When he bent over to pick it up he "fell" into the stream and drowned. The myth is that if you go to that bridge and you throw some change into the stream the boy will throw it back at you. Then there is also the phantom wolf. Many people have reported seeing a wolf with grayish-black fur and red eyes attacking their car. There is also the story of a black pickup truck that follows people around on the road. There are even stories of witchcraft in the woods.

Are these really paranormal events or are there other activities that happen? There have been many reported cases of real people using the woods for illegal events. Before WWII the Nazi Party of America used the woods to hold meetings and rallies. Also, in 1983 the "Ice Man" used the woods for disposing of frozen bodies. The Ice Man was part of the New York Mafia who killed hundreds of people, froze their bodies, and threw them into Clinton Road woods. The Ice Man was executed in March 2006.

The past holds many secrets. There are many unsolved historical mysteries that continue to interest people today. This paper has attempted to solve the mystery of Clinton Road by examining new and old evidence and resources. By looking at this evidence, I believe what is happening is that people want the legend to live on so they make up new stories based on real, explainable events. Does a phantom wolf really roam the woods of Northwest NJ scaring unsuspecting motorists? Is the ghost of a man who lost his family in a fire really walking the street searching for someone? We may not ever know, but I think I should see for myself and visit Clinton Road.
