The New Jersey History Podcast
History
Alpine, New Jersey, a borough of Bergen County, is just a 15-mile drive away from Manhattan. A rather upper crust place to live, Forbes ranked Alpine as one of America's most expensive zip codes in 2012 and it's maintained that prestige ever since. As nice as it is, history will prove that even the most pleasant, bustling, sought after town is not without its share of dark mystery and folklore, and Alpine has several shares of it.
Amidst the tree-lined streets, gorgeous houses, and beautiful parks of Alpine stands an ominous looking tower called The Devil's Tower. Built in 1910 by a millionaire sugar importer named Manuel Rionda, the tower has taken on a reputation for being both cursed, and haunted—a terrifying combo. But how did an otherwise striking piece of architecture acquire such a sinister reputation? There are many different theories.
