There is perhaps no area of New Jersey richer in history than the northern section of the famed Jersey Shore, known as the “Bayshore.” Stretching from the Perth Amboy area at the lower section of the Raritan River to Sandy Hook, the coastline has been witness to Lenape Indians, early European explorers, pirates, American Revolutionary War battles and skirmishes, a World War II coastal defense system established to protect New York City, notorious Prohibition-era mobsters and rum-runners, and numerous murders, some of which are unsolved to this day. This has led to not only three centuries of history but endless myths and legends, and rumors of ghostly encounters and hauntings.

Both history lovers and paranormal enthusiasts will be captivated by stories about popular sites such as the Spy House and Strauss Mansion to lesser-known points of interest. You may never view going “Down the Shore” the same way again.

🎃👻📚Attention Bostonians: "HALLOWEEN TRADITIONS IN BOSTON" by the utterly brilliant Anthony Sammarco is the ultimate must-read of the season!

Read more 👉🏼 https://sut.pub/Boston-Halloween

Halloween, short for All Hallow’ Eve, has its origins dating back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, the Celtic New Year's festival. All Hallows really means “summer’s end" and the festival celebrated the end of the harvest season and the coming of winter.

Out of this tradition, the jack o'lantern is associated with the Irish folk tale of Stingy Jack, a clever drunk and con man who fooled the devil into banning him from hell, but because of his sinful life, could not enter heaven. After his death, he roamed the world carrying a small lantern made from a turnip with a red-hot ember from hell inside to light his way.

A lot of people think of Halloween as a truly American holiday. In some ways it really is a very American holiday, because over the decades it has grown to enormous proportions. However, some people don’t remember that its roots are Celtic-European. Americans began to dress in costumes and go from house to house asking for food or money, a practice that eventually became today’s “trick-or-treat” tradition.

In "HALLOWEEN TRADITIONS IN BOSTON" , Anthony Sammarco discusses the history of the Salem Witchcraft Trials which caused such tremendous anxiety and fear and the deaths of many innocent people in Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1692, to the decorating of Beacon Hill as a veritable neighborhood of whimsy, with macabre skulls, bones, and cobwebs, to pumpkins and lighted jack o'lanterns.

🔔📰📚 : "BOSTON'S FADING INK: A JOURNALIST'S PATH THROUGH THE GOOD YEARS OF HUB NEWSPAPERS" by D**e Hendrickson is an engaging memoir recounting four decades in newspapers — from sports and politics to Hollywood and the industry's decline.

"BOSTON'S FADING INK: A JOURNALIST'S PATH THROUGH THE GOOD YEARS OF HUB NEWSPAPERS" is the entertaining retrospective of award-winning writer-editor D**e Hendrickson’s four-decade career in newspapers. Hendrickson’s unique journey included tenures in Hawaii, California, Mexico, New Orleans, Maine and finally, Boston. Few journalists have had such a varied and exciting career.

As a sportswriter, he interviewed John McEnroe, Chris Evert, and Jimmy Connors. As a political columnist, he spent hours with Senators Ted Kennedy, George Mitchell, and Edmund Muskie. As a TV editor with Rupert Murdoch’s Boston Herald, he wrote about the greatest productions of ‘80s, the Golden Era of TV.

His coverage included the making of Lonesome Dove and Warm and Remembrance; stars he profiled were Audrey Hepburn, Diane Lane, and Robert Duval, among others. In this timely memoir, Hendrickson reflects upon developing a career in newspapers when the industry began losing money. He and his wife, educator Vicki Hendrickson, live in the seaside community of Newburyport, Massachusetts.

🔔📚📷 Available now: VOLUME 2 of "FORGOTTEN VIRGINIA: A CONTINUATION OF DERELICTION AND DECAY IN THE OLD DOMINION" by the amazing Sean Toler at Sean Toler Photo is now in stock!

Read more 🔗 https://sut.pub/virginia-2
Order Volume 1 🔗 https://sut.pub/virginia-1

In his first book, "FORGOTTEN VIRGINIA", Sean Toler photographically documented many of the abandoned places he’d been capturing on camera for nearly a decade. In the years since the publishing of that book, he has been busily travelling the back roads of Virginia hoping to digitally capture many more abandoned and decaying places and things. In fact, he has hundreds of locations that he still wants to visit across the state, marked with little green flags on his Google Maps account.
In this second volume you will find new locations not covered in his first book, some of them iconic. He hopes that as you view the photographs and read the accounts in this book, you feel as though you are accompanying him visiting each location. He also hopes that you will gain a new appreciation and reverence for these magnificent edifices scattered across our wonderful Commonwealth that have long since known the everyday presence of those who once lived and/or worked in them.

Many of the locations featured in the first book are no longer standing, as well as some that you will see in this book. This is the race against time that all abandonment photographers face, which is why the effort has been made to preserve them digitally for you all to enjoy in this second volume of FORGOTTEN VIRGINIA.
