Dead Chicken, Food: Weird Ritual on Beach in Ventnor, NJ (Photos)
After observing what he believes to be weird rituals taking place on the beach in Ventnor City, New Jersey … a resident reached out to us because he/she wants the public to be made aware of this situation.
Our Ventnor City confidential source said that, “The rotten food piles were located between Portland and Princeton, and the beheaded bird - chicken was located on Oxford Avenue and the high tide line.”
We are protecting the identity of the Ventnor City resident, because they fear recriminations … (important to note, this is not a feat of retaliation from the Ventnor City government.
Several weeks ago, we wrote about similar situations (beheaded birds) on Ocean City and Egg Harbor Township beaches.
Here are links to the two articles that we wrote on October 13, 2024 & October 16, 2024.

To capture the essence of what this resident has discovered, we want to share ”their“ words … exactly as they have written them to me without edit:
Harry, I wanted to bring this to your attention. Last year I encountered a small group of Haitian people or something like that performing a ritual on the beach in Ventnor. I asked them what they were doing and from their accent I could determine they sounded like they were from the Caribbean. They said they were blessing the beach. The had candles set up they were all dressed in cloaks and it seemed a little satanic. They had a small fire going and I told them it's against the law to have a bonfire on the beach. They told me to be careful so l left. I probably should have called the police but I didn't. To me it looked like some kind of Voodoo ritual. I had my dogs with me and I just got out of there. The next morning I went and you could still see the burnt residue around the food from the fire. Yesterday I discovered a dead bird maybe a chicken with its head cut off and today I discovered the piles of food. They tend to come right after sundown and perform these rituals. I understand that people are free to practice any belief but leaving rotting, food and possibly dead animals behind most likely is against the law. Here are some pictures that I documented. Please share them and let me know if you have any questions. This needs to stop.
