The Deserted Village and Enchanted Forest of the Watchung Reservation
There is a place deep in the woods of the Watchung Reservation that is officially known as the Feltville Historic District. Here, down a narrow winding road that leads into the forest you will find a cluster of houses dating back to the mid-19th century, several of which are now long abandoned. The site is known locally as the “Deserted Village,” and he has a many–storied history of promise, failure and even hauntings.
There is a place deep in the woods of the Watchung Reservation area in Union County that is officially known as the Feltville Historic District. Here, down a narrow winding road that leads into the forest of the town of Berkeley Heights you will find a cluster of houses dating back to the mid-19th century, several of which are now long abandoned. The site is known locally as the “Deserted Village,” and he has a many–storied history of promise, failure and even hauntings.
The first settler of this area was a man named Peter Willcocks, an Englishman who moved here from Long Island about 1736, and operated a sawmill here. You can find his grave in a small, secluded graveyard in the woods atop a high bluff. The next person to try to make a go of the area was David Felt, a businessman originally from Boston, who relocated to New York City in 1825. He purchased the Union County land from the descendants of Peter Willocks in 1844, and built a mill on Blue Brook, two dams for the mill, and a little town, which he dubbed “Feltville,” for the workers in the mill to live in. Felt sold the property after fifteen years, and after several successive business ventures failed to revive the community, the place became known as the “Deserted Village.”
In 1882, the Deserted Village was bought by Warren Ackerman, who transformed it to a summer resort called Glenside Park. This business too soon failed though, and the place was once again abandoned. The Union Country Park Commission eventually purchased the property and included it as part of the Watchung Reservation, renting the houses to families in need. Today only three families remain as permanent residents at the Deserted Village, while the remainder of the site is open to visitors who wish to learn its history or to simply enjoy the natural surroundings. As with any spooky looking old abandoned houses, there are ghosts stories told of the former homes in Feltville. One tale tells of three ghosts living in the house located at the outer fringe of the enclave. The story is said to have originated around 1912, when three young sisters all went camping deep in the woods, but did not return. Locals were only able to find their bonnets, and the fears of the people caused almost half of the residents to move away from the village. Those that remained never let their children go deep in the woods again without supervision.
Other rumors about the area involve the stories of Satanists and witch covens that practice their rituals in the dark woods surrounding the Deserted Village. It is an area known locally as the “Enchanted Forest.” Weird NJ readers have shared many a story with us over the years about their personal experiences in these mysterious environs. “The Enchanted Forest was a constant theme of conversation when I was growing up,” a reader named David Gaut told us. “It was widely rumored that there was a coven of witches that would meet when the moon was full and they would do whatever it is that witches do.”
Others have told us about a certain sense of dread that comes over them while walking through the village and forests of Feltville. Brad Maloney, another Weird NJ reader, remembers, “I knew a family that lived there for a period and they said it was haunted as hell in that reservation. I have experienced bouts of ‘Get me the hell out of here,’ for lack of a better term. On separate occasions I have sensed strange temperature fluctuations that are almost always followed by an immediate urge to get away from that place. Sometimes five feet will do the trick, but other times the feeling doesn’t leave until I’m in my car and well on my way home. I have felt this sensation with others present, and it’s a collective consciousness kind of thing.”
Melanie Quintanilla, a local resident, recalls, “Over the years, growing up in Scotch Plains, which is a town at the foothills of the Watchung Mountains, many stories filtered down about Satanic rituals that occurred up in the mountains. You know, the usual story of crazy teenagers getting into black magic and stuff. But we’d ignore those stories and still cruised around the mountains at night to spook ourselves out. On one occasion I was driving around the mountains with my sister and a good friend. As we were leisurely cruising around, we saw flames in the distance as we were rounding about a curve in the road. The cops and fire department were streaming in, and as we rolled by the flames, we noticed that this wasn’t any ordinary fire. It was a perfectly designed circle with a Pagan star in the middle. It was the creepiest thing. I am not sure if any of this weird stuff still goes on in the mountains, but I would be curious to see if there are any other tales about this area.”

Reviews for "The Challenges and Rewards of Studying Magic at the Academy"
1. John - Rating: 1/5
I didn't enjoy "The Magical Academy" at all. The plot was predictable, the characters felt one-dimensional, and the dialogue was cliche. It seemed like the author was trying to force a love story between two of the main characters, but it lacked any real depth or development. The magic system in the book was poorly explained and felt inconsistent throughout. Overall, I found it to be a tedious and underwhelming read.
2. Emily - Rating: 2/5
"The Magical Academy" had an interesting concept, but it failed to deliver. The pacing was off, with long stretches of filler content and sudden, rushed action scenes. The world-building was lacking, leaving me with more questions than answers. The writing style was average at best, with awkward phrasing and repetitive descriptions. The main character was supposed to be strong and independent, but she came across as whiny and dependent on others to solve her problems. I was ultimately disappointed with this book.

I didn't hate "The Magical Academy," but I didn't love it either. The story felt unoriginal and reminded me of other popular fantasy series I've read. The plot twists were predictable, and the resolution felt rushed and unsatisfying. The supporting characters were forgettable, and their motivations were unclear. While the premise had potential, the execution left much to be desired. Overall, it was a mediocre read that didn't leave a lasting impression.
