There are sites throughout the U.S. that attain legendary status, even though the location consists of nothing more than an old railroad bridge or a fallow patch of earth. The stories that have grown out of these humble landmarks, though, are the stuff of nightmares. Are these stories merely the products of overactive imaginations, or is there more to it than that?

Mark Moran 和 Mark Sceurman很久以前在新泽西州，每年会把他们从报纸上和自己搜集到的关于新泽西州的奇闻异事，光怪陆离的传说等制成简单的小册子，送给好朋友们阅读。有趣的是，他们的小册子引起了越来越多的人的关注， 出版到第八期的Weird N.J.变成了正式的杂志， 而且收到很多大家提供的具有神秘色彩的故事和报告，最后变成了这本Weird U.S.

Mark Moran: is a graduate of Parsons School of Design in New York City, where he studied fine art, illustration, and photography. It was a boring and misspend suburban New Jersey childhood that first led hime to his lifelong fascination with seeking out and exploring the lost history and forgotten landmarks of his surroundings. Eventually he would seek to share what he had found with others through his pictures and stories.

Mark Sceurman: is known as a graphic artist, publisher, and all around nice guy. His journey to discover the weirder aspects of local history and legends began many years ago when his brother told hime tales of Albino Willage, where "they come out at night to get you!" Since then the rouds less traveled have been the only paths he chooses to take.
