On this episode of It Gets Weirder we begin the series on high strangeness in Cape May County. Ghosts of the Past explore only a few of the strange ghost stories and legends of the area. This episode covers the legend of Devil’s Island, a story of a disappearing black dog, the ghost of Higbee Beach, and the most haunted street in Cape May. We end with a return to an interview with Monica and a possible EVP.
