So I'm moving one beach north to #BELMAR. That's not the good part. I find a small apartment 1 block from 2 good breaks so I swipe it up real quick like, with no hesitation. lease signed, keys in hand and I can move in at leisure. Good to go! I call jcpnl today to switch the electric and they have an issue finding the actual meter because there are a few of the same apartment number with different letters, ie.. A1, A2, etc.. I reach out to the landlord for the meter number and they don't have it. Instead, they give me the previous tenants name to give to jcpnl. Like any normal curious dude I google the name and bad news....The previous tenant died..... in the apartment.
So what! Who cares bro!! Just hire a really thorough cleaning crew before you move your stuff in and thats that. I bought a house one time and found out after a nun died in the house, nothing weird, no ghost , All good . Put it out of your head.
The Legend of The Belmar Beast There was a man, an old man, 75 years old or so, who was an avid surfer. He had been on a board since he was 4 years old and practically never got off. He grew up surfing Belmar and never left, because why leave when the best waves are right outside his front door? He married once, and then divorced about 2 weeks later... Why? Because who needs wives when you can have waves? He was one of the few people who were brave enough to surf 23 footers at Belmar. One day, at the age of 37, some local legends saw him riding 23 footers and getting 5 minute long barrels. They gave him the title of The Belmar Beast. He grew old to the age of 75 and saw on Swellinfo that they were forecasting for 24 footers at Belmar. He was stoked and ran out to the beach and got pitted for hours in the 24 footers. On one wipeout, however, he swallowed an enormous amount of water. He coughed and said to himself "That's about enough for today." He paddled to the beach, and went home to his apartment, which was about a block away from some great beaches. He got into his apartment, lied down in his bed and went to sleep. While he was sleeping, he spontaneously combusted. This was due to a reaction with the salt water he swallowed, a potato he had eaten earlier, and the toothpaste he used to brush his teeth with. You, my friend, may have just found the apartment in which the legendary Belmar Beast died... Don't surf in Belmar, don't eat potatos, and don't use toothpaste... or you'll die too.
Don't be a pooswah! I've lived with at least 2 ghosts for 25+ years. Everything will be ok as long as you don't make eye contact.
Baby, this place is beautiful, sun is shining, kids are playing, ((((((get out))))))), to bad we can't stay. LOL
Dude!!!!! That's nuts.... Something's are better off not knowing... But seriously I wouldn't worry about it... You got a sweet surf shack I'm sure- everyone will probably end up storing their boards in your living room and wetsuites in your bathroom since your at the best break in the continental US #belmar oh yea, the hair gel too will be stored at your place At least you can still walk outta your house and surf the Belmar... Welcome to Belmar bro! What break you closest too? I have been surfing at the presidental suite lately
He was an old dude, natural causes (or so they say).... I'm not really worried about it. They renovated the apartment after and the place has a cheery vibe (so far). Just weird to know the last person to sleep in the bedroom I'll be sleeping in signed off from the same spot. Apparently the guy had a love for the ocean as well. So if he is still around, maybe he'll take it easy on me. haha
