🪦 DISCLAIMER: LISTENERS BEWARE… AND BRING A MOP (AND MAYBE A BAGEL) 🪦

Welcome to Tales from the Janitor, the only show where New Jersey’s creepiest secrets finally get cleaned up—after everyone’s done screaming.

This episode takes us deep into the Garden State, where the tomatoes are juicy, the drivers are terrifying, and the Pine Barrens are home to a winged goat creature with anger issues. If your GPS reroutes you to Clinton Road, just pretend you don’t see the ghost kid throwing coins. He hates eye contact.

We’re talking urban legends, haunted highways, cursed diners, and things you probably shouldn’t touch without gloves. Paranormal? Definitely. Sanitary? Not even close.

Side effects may include: Nervous laughter, irrational fear of toll booths, and yelling “YO, WHO’S THERE?” into the void.

So grab a mop, salt your pork roll (not your doorstep), and pray you make it to Wawa before the hauntings kick in. 🕯️👁️
