Weird NJ has also published an e-mail from a correspondent who had claimed to have been a practicing Wiccan and said that he and fellow adherents built shrines in the area and practiced casting spells, which he said accounted for some of the stories people told. He claimed there was a lot more of this activity than the magazine's editors knew about.

Famous quotes containing the words realities and/or stories:
“I have, indeed, even omitted facts, which, on account of their singularity, must in the eyes of some have appeared to border on the marvelous.

—J.G. (John Gabriel)
“Though Margery is stricken dumb
If thrown in Madge’s way,

For none alive to-day
Can know the stories that we know
Or say the things we say....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
