A small town secret that has been swept under the rug for years is now coming to light as filmmakers release the documentary on the chilling story.
The “Ghost of Mingo Jack” is the true story of Samuel “Mingo Jack” Johnson, an African American man, who was wrongly accused of a crime. Johnson was murdered and lynched in Eatowntown, New Jersey in 1886 by a group of drunk and irate townspeople.
While many stories about the incident have been passed down, many in the New Jersey town and surrounding areas still never heard of the name Mingo Jack.
The documentary tells the story what happened and searches for his ghost. It also features a group of local residents who are working towards getting a marker placed at the site where this tragic event occurred.
