Legends and Lore of Somerset County

Author Michael Haynes will present stories of ghostly encounters, monster sightings and spooky occurrences that have put Somerset County on the map for weird activity.

With his book “Legends & Lore of Somerset County,” as a basis, the evening’s tales may include an encounter with the Dead River Witch of Liberty Corner that is linked with the unsolved disappearance of a nine-year-old girl; the alleged Revolutionary War spy John Honeyman who never stopped telling tall tales about himself, even after his death; and the Pluckemin orbs (more than 6,000 years old) that frightened Native Americans, intrigued artists, and still defy explanation. Haynes will also tell attendees where they can go in Somerset County for some firsthand folklore experience.

Will you need a special accommodation (including food allergy if applicable to the program)? If so, please contact the library and provide at least two weeks notice prior to the event date and the library will make every effort to honor all requests. Thereafter, requests will still be considered and may have less of a chance of being honored.
