  Haunts me to this day

  It was a long time ago maybe around 2006 when I convinced a friend of mine to go. He was a worship leader at my church so I knew I was safe. (Lol) Anyway, we arrive in front of the tower and parked our car debating whether or not to do the ritual of circling around the tower. Then after a couple of minutes of doing nothing, I see a small black figure in the bushes but thought it was probably a small animal. But all of a sudden it starts to run away but this time we both saw the figure running on two hind legs. It was the size of a small toddler but running quite fast. It was running kind of away from us but it spooked both of us like crazy and we reversed as far as we can out of that frikkin place.

  I went but nothing appeared

  We drove in circles I know you we’re supposed drive backwards but whatever. Saw the inside filled with different materials. Unfortunately the windows were boarded up that was very sad to see. Overall gives you the same chill as going to other “haunted locations”.

  Never Scared Me

  I grew up in the area in the 1950s and my friends & I used to play in Rionda's woods all the time before it was developed in the 70s. His estate was huge, with gravel roads, stone bridges, small cliffs, stone walls all over and at one time there was a man-made lake for swimming. We'd go up to the tower a lot and shinny up to the 2nd story (the stairs to the 2nd story were removed), then climb to the top. During WWII, my folks told me there was a searchlight on the top of the tower. I never heard of it being called Devil's Tower then, we called it the Tower or Rionda's Tower. I never heard of anything spooky about the place, nor did I ever observe anything out of the ordinary there. Given that I lived in a small town (back then the area was pretty undeveloped), if there was anything weird going on there, we all would have heard of it I'm sure.

  Not sure

  I grew up in this area. 20 years ago when I was in my 20’s we did see something in the tower. This tower is surrounded by multi million dollar homes! It’s the first thing you see going into Rio Vista. I would definitely check it out and the homes are to die for!

  Crazy Place to visit

  I went to the tower on a few occasions after hearing from a close friend who grew up in a nearby town about the "legends" & supposed haunting. The first time I went I'll never forget. As we approached the tower the fog thickened to the point you could barely see 20 feet ahead. Its blocked off by a sign but you could still approach. Without going into great detail all I can say is you get an ominous feeling, especially at night. I saw shadows and light spots appear here and there around the tower almost flickering on and off. My heart rate elevated and I got sick to the stomach. I quickly pulled away. What's even more striking to me is what occured after. Immediately after visiting I started having an unusual streak of bad luck. Everything from misplaced things on a daily basis to an unbelievable losing streak in Atlantic City. My friend for some weird reason suggested I visit the tower again to "put it behind me". I did, and after a second unpleasant experience I went home and the streak of bad luck was over. I cant explain what occured. I heard SEVERAL stories from my friend and his friends about Devils Tower experiences they had that made mine pale in comparison. Bottom line is if you visit, and are not chased away by police for trespass you'll know what I mean...

  Devil's Tower Spook

  I used to go around with my friends and/or sisters to a bunch of Weird NJ places. I've been to devils tower a handful of times but I for some reason I haven't been back since my last encounter. I was with my two sisters and we parked the car and left it unlocked. We are standing at devils tower with our phones out when we just keep hearing small rocks or pebbles inside the tower and when we were trying to figure out what it was, we heard a huge BANG inside the tower. Then we hightailed it to the car and the doors were somehow locked. So we had to open the doors and we were out. The scariest part, which had me in tears automatically on the spot, was when I was turned around in the backseat of the car looking up at the tower, and in the little circle window I see a white figure in the space where its supposed to be black because it was dark out and it's an opened window space. Scariest experience ever and I have no idea when I'll be visiting again.

  Climed to top and reppeled out window

  I use to climb up to the top in the mid 1970s. The tower is actually a water tower. There is a large wood water tank just behind the clock. To get to the top windows with the good view you had to climb a broken down ladder. There was a lot of dead birds and droppings around. Nice cool breezes inside tower during hot summer days. There is also a stone church that we use to explore. The church is now just behind the gate near the tower.

  Eh

  This was the place to go in HS. There was a tale that if you drove around the tower backwards three times the ghost would appear hanging in the middle of the tower. We only did it once and nothing happened but still cool to go look at. Wouldn't travel there if it wasn't close to where I live. You can get out and walk around it but the middle section is chained off so there isn't much to see.

  I climbed this dumb thing to the lower roof

  There was nothing spooky about it at all back in 1998. There were spikes to stop you from climbing it but you could use them to assist you onto the lower roof. It was an ok place to do nothing for bored teenagers but that's about it.

  Not really open

  You can drive by it but it's fenced off. Cool to look at, interesting story but that's about it.
