🕷 “The Mantis Man of the Musconetcong — Part One: The
Thing in the River”
This week, we head back to Jefferson Township — back to the lake, the spillway, and the
narrow stretch of river where I spent my entire childhood swimming, boating, fishing… and
apparently missing a seven-foot translucent praying mantis humanoid lurking just
downstream.
While I was buried in Tommy Sullivan and chasing the Jersey Devil through the Pines, a
monster was hiding in plain sight — right where I grew up.
In Part One, we break down the origin story of Mantis Man, the eerie local legend born from a
handful of eyewitnesses who swear they saw something tall, thin, silent, and very unhuman
standing in the Musconetcong River.
📚 Chapters

A hometown haunting. A river full of secrets. And a cryptid I cannot believe I never heard about
until adulthood.
