Camp Crystal Lake

Camp Crystal Lake, later renamed as Forest Green Park, is a large private property and wildlife reserve located in Cunningham County, New Jersey. Formerly a summer camp, Camp Crystal Lake became a privately owned property, having been closed down following the murders of several camp counsellors by serial killer Pamela Voorhees in 1991.

For many, the park is known as Camp Blood for its the many unexplained disappearances and murders that occurred there. Many of Crystal Lake residents believe the Park is cursed.

Drowning of Jason Voorhees
In 1990, 29 year old Pamela Voorhees arrived at Crystal Lake with her son Jason. A week following their arrival, Jason disappeared. After the police and investigators arrived, several of the campers confessed to have witnessed other campers bullying Jason, and saw Jason accidentally fall into the lake. Unable to find Jason's body in the lake, and unable to find him anywhere else around the camp, the investigators told Pamela that Jason had died.

Pamela Voorhees Murders
In 1991, a year following the supposed drowning of her son Jason, Pamela Voorhees had succeeded in tracking down and killing the absent counsellors who had been present at Crystal Lake when Jason drowned. After this, the remaining counsellors, among several new counsellors and campers were also murdered by Pamela. The sole survivor Julianne Miller, discovered it was Pamela behind the murders, and was hunted by Pamela into the abandoned area of the camp. After a small stand off, Julianne decapitated Pamela with a machete.

Camp Crystal Lake was officially shut down following these events. Local authorities searched the entire camp, including the abandoned area, and several more bodies were discovered, all killed by Pamela Voorhees, with many having been dead for weeks.

Warrington Family
In 1993, the property was purchased by Steve Warrington and his family.
