Old City Hall Bordentown will present its second “Jersey Devil Homecoming” just in time for Halloween.
The Jersey Devil Homecoming is a Halloween event that celebrates the mythical creature’s connection to Bordentown, including its encounter with city resident and former Spanish king Jospeh Bonaparte, visit to the city during its infamous 1907 weeklong reign of terror, and alleged connection to a city house.
The program features presentations by writers Dave Hart, Tony DiGerolamo, and Dan Aubrey and complements the Bordentown Walking Haunted History Tours.
Hart is the Ewing-based co-author of the 2005 novel “Mystery of the Jersey Devil.” Hart, a descendent of New Jersey Declaration of Independence Signer John Hart, and writing partner John Calu’s other works include “Adventures Along the Jersey Shore,” “Trenton: A Novel,” and “Spirits of Cedar of Cedar Bridge.”
DiGerolamo is the creator of the comedy/horror book series called “The Pineys,” about a family of hunters that hunts the kin of the Jersey Devil. He is a standup comedian and writer who has contributed to The Simpsons comic books; “Politically Incorrect” with Bill Maher; and a variety of books, comics, and games. The Camden County resident frequently speaks on “How to Hunt the Jersey Devil.”
Aubrey is a writer who has written for New Jersey newspapers, New Jersey and Philadelphia museums, and regional stages. The Bordentown resident has also written and lectured on the Jersey Devil and regional ghost stories.
