Sterling Hill Zinc Mine
The Sterling Hill Mine is a former iron and zinc mine in Ogdensburg, New Jersey, United States. It was the last working underground mine in New Jersey when it closed in 1986. It became a museum in 1989 and is now known as the Sterling Hill Mine Tour & Museum of Fluorescence.
The Edison Tunnel was named after Thomas Edison, one of America's most famous inventors. Apparently, he was also an iron miner.
The mine tour consists of a short walk to the mine, about 1300 feet of tunnel on the first level, and the museum buildings. Only the first level out of twenty five is available to tour since the others are now filled with water. The first level involves no climbing and is accessible by wheelchair or stroller. The mine stays a comfortable 56 degrees Fahrenheit year round.
Our tour guide was awesome and he told jokes along the way.
Part 1, includes the Edison Tunnel and the museum with the fluorescent rocks. This part was pretty cool.
This video, part 2, includes the Rainbow Tunnel. This is an area of the mine wall where the intensely fluorescent zinc ore is exposed.
When subjected to shortwave ultraviolet light, the walls fluoresce bright green and red. The red being calcite and the green being willemite, which was one of the main zinc ore minerals mined here.
NOTE: This is a walking tour. Wear comfortable shoes.

However as with most mining facilities, it has seen it's share of accidents and deaths throughout it's history.
Over 77 deaths were recorded in the mine over a 90 year period however the mine was in use several years prior to when they began recording deaths in the mine so that number is probably much higher.
There have been claims of activity not only in the mine, but in several of the building on the site as well.
Shadow figures, voices, footsteps, faces in the windows of the buildings and more.
This site has the potential to be one of the best paranormal sites in the state.

Cranberry Iron Mine NY
Relatively little is known about the history of the Cranberry Mine. Despite this, it was evidently once an ambitious operation. Worked for magnetite iron ore, the mine was entered by two parallel adits heading southwest. The left adit is short and exploratory in nature while the right adit opens up to a large stoped cavern. The stope continues upward following the course of the bottom rock. Near the top of the hill above the mine is a shaft about 20 feet in depth. Further southwest, the vein was opened again on the surface but the working is now collapsed. It is not known who operated the mine, how much ore was produced, nor where the ore was shipped. The ruins of associated buildings are still evident including a powder magazine.
The mine most likely operated from the late 1800's to the early 1900's. From 1920 until sometime in the 1930's, the mine was used by park officials to store explosives. A large stone wall with an iron door was therefore installed. Today, the mine serves as a bat hibernaculum and is no longer accessible.
