New Jersey's Mysterious New Town City is Thought to Be Haunted
Apr 1, 2009
Demons Alley is located in West Milford, New Jersey on Route 23. It is a long narrow road lined on both sides, with about eight empty homes, that are slowly falling apart. The mystery surrounding to why these homes are empty, is just that — a mystery.
Of course, there are a few theories as to why people left the homes of Demons Alley abandoned. There has also been many rumors that Demons Alley is haunted, and people that have visited the site often report experiencing a "creepy" feeling when they arrive.
The History of Demon Alley
The houses of Demons Alley were originally built by the City of Newark Water and Reservoir Plant, to house there workers. Unfortunately, it seems no one quite knows when these homes were constructed.
The New City Complex, which was the original name of the site, sat on 466 acres and was left abandoned in 1992. The townspeople not only disappeared and left the homes abandoned, but they left their possessions behind, including their clothing and furniture. Even plates of food were found left behind on the tables.
Legends of Demon Alley
The most talked about and scariest legend is the story of a man that supposedly moved into the town sometime around the 1980’s. Sometime after his move there, strange things began to occur, leaving the townspeople upset enough that the man recommended that they hold a town meeting at his home, to discuss what they needed to do. Bad thing is the new town member had other plans for the town’s people. The man was actually an occult leader, who had his other occult members waiting there in his basement. The plan was to murder the whole town.
Could This be the Truth about New City Complex?
The truth could be that when the Water and Reservoir Plant automated their system, they no longer needed the workers, and the workers became forced to find new jobs and move away.
Another theory is that the actual town was not real, that a moviemaker had purchased it and the homes were part of a movie set. Of course, once the filming had stopped, the homes were of no use, so they were left abandoned to decay.
Yet another theory is that there had been an outbreak of radon or carbon monoxide, and that the town’s people had no choice but to leave right away, having to leave everything behind.
New City Complex Now
It's possible the curious may never know the truth about New City Complex, best known as Demons Alley, because in 2005 the city demolished the houses, leaving nothing but 466 acres of land.
If the area was haunted, then perhaps the ghosts of the townspeople still roam Demons Alley, searching for their killers. However, maybe it really is not haunted and there's another explanation for the mysterious fate of this abandoned community, more for the curious to learn. Whatever the case, the events that unfolded in Demons Alley will remain a mystery awhile longer.
