[edit] Ghost stories?

When I was growing up, Bear Mountain was THE locus for every ghost story I ever heard. I didn't grow up all that close to it, so it became a mythical location where boy scouts and recently-married hikers went to get hacked to death. Does anyone else recall this location being a similar focal point for scary stories? Even better, can anyone find a source that confirms it wasn't just my family and friends? --Dmz5 07:21, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Whereabouts, roughly, did you grow up? Being an imported Pennsylvanian, I'm not really competent to answer the question — I'd look to see if the WeirdNJ folks have published anything about it, as they seem to spend a great deal of time collecting those kinds of stories.
