Weird New England/Weird Massachusetts

feeds@yuku.com (absurdadventurer) — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 18:55:09 GMT

We love the New England and Massachusetts versions of the books and are constantly flipping through them to find places to go when we're bored. Whenever we go to one of the places in the book we are sure to get either a pamphlet or a picture to put in the page and our goal is to fill up each of the books with a memento of each place.

We also love telling our stories of checking out...

Dixie Square Mall - Harvey, IL

feeds@yuku.com (Ale2004) — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 01:24:00 GMT

I'm drawing a blank here... Was this place ever covered in any of the books? I'm not seeing it in Weird Illinois. Looks like it's the granddaddy of all abandoned malls.

There are a ton of videos of it on YouTube, too.

Unknown Cemetery on Springhouse Rd, Allentown, PA

feeds@yuku.com (crys20) — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 21:46:46 GMT

I was driving over to Wegman's on Tilghman St but I took a short cut from Cedar Crest Blvd. I went up Broadway and onto Springhouse Rd and I saw this cemetery a little off of the road. I turned around in Trexler Park and came back to go into it. I walked around it a bit, since it is really small, and I realized that it is unkept. The most recent burial on there is 1984 and all the potted plants are overgrown by the weeds. There are some really old tombstone in there but a lot of...

Riot at Palmer Pool in Easton, PA

feeds@yuku.com (DREWfromEASTON) — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 19:11:52 GMT

A guy I work with tells me that in the late 80s (around 1987 because he remembers Def Leppard's Hysteria was just out) there was a full fledged riot at the public pool in Palmer Township in Easton, PA. But he can't find anybody else who remembers it!

He remembers police from all the bordering towns being called in to calm what was believed to be a turf war. Fire hoses and all. It was meant to take place during one of their "Dip 'n' Dance" dances at...

feeds@yuku.com (Ale2004) — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 02:41:44 GMT

Here is an update on the Hill Ward of Western State Hospital (Weird Washington, pages 18-20). In a nutshell, the ruins were recently cleaned up and the grounds were turned into a memorial for mental patients who lived and died there. Note that there is a link to a related article about Frances Farmer at the bottom.

Gettysburg ghosts

I took my first trip to Gettysburg last year, and I'm dying to go back. I took this photo at the Baladerry Inn. I think I see the figure of a man, so I wanted to post it and see if anyone else sees him. I hope this works.

Utah: Kidnapped Man Forced to Drink Beer...

feeds@yuku.com (Jodhiay) — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 12:30:57 GMT

From personal knowledge: beer in Utah has a lower alcohol percentage than anywhere else due to the odd drinking laws in the state. Keep that in mind as you read this.

A man was kidnapped, force-fed beer and then abandoned on a Utah roadside in a possible case of mistaken identity, police say.

Norwich State

feeds@yuku.com (fishbone) — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 10:36:51 GMT

I know it's not NJ, but it's not too far from here. I had seen the movie Fear Strikes Out recently and it talks about Jim Piersall's mother having gone to Norwich State Hospital in CT in the late 1930s/early 1940s so I looked up the place and according to many sources on the internet it has been abandoned for some time, even has its own Wikipedia page, and apparently is in a state of limbo about what will be done with the property (no plans to build anytime soon). Also, a few...
