Like a dodgy acid trip or a Oompa Loompa village, this broken down theme park in New Jersey is enough to give you the shivers. Modelled on a Germanic Village, the candy coloured houses look like something out of a Grimm Fairytale. Fairytale Forest was built built by German Immigrant Paul Woehle in 1957 in Oakridge, NJ.
Woehle handmade each of the structures and they were appreciated by generations of kids. Until he died in the 1994 at the age of 96. His legacy was largely abandoned as the park was sold to a storage company and most of the vibrantly coloured buildings removed from the park.
If you enjoyed this post, you may find this one about Creepy Islands in Sydney Harbour enjoyable, and also this one about Abandoned Soviet Monuments, and Factories from London’s long-forgotten Industrial-Era, Abandoned desert buildings and the most loneliest island in the world – Bouvetoya.

Thank you Janet, always lovely to hear from you, much love and enjoy your day 🙂
Hope you have a lovely day…Janet:)
wow the pictures are so good!!
I don’t even know what animal that is but it sure looks creepy
Me neither, perhaps some kind of creepy cartoonish mouse, but with an evil face. Imagine walking there in the darkness, spooky!
Hang on…is a woodchuck an animal? lol Could be that…
Couldn’t leave this…woodchuck is another name for the groundhog…maybe? http://www.boldlife.com/wp-content/uploads/Greta-close-RZ.jpg or perhaps a beaver…
What a weird looking creature haha, very goofy face!
I don’t know much about these American animals, yes I think a beaver has teeth like that or a groundhog, or perhaps it’s a giant squirrel LOL haha
Oooo, I wanna go!
Are you sure? I think I would only want to if it was during the day time, after dark it would be like being in a horror movie!
I like the spooky stuff too sometimes haha
Yes me too! Sometimes but only if I know it’s not ‘for real’ scary…otherwise I get a bit freaked out!
