I saw a lot of wierd stuff while I lived in New Jersey, but Ninja weren’t among them. Maybe I lived too far from Asbury Park.

Public schools in Barnegat were locked down briefly after someone reported seeing a ninja running through the woods behind an elementary school.

Turns out the ninja was actually a camp counselor dressed in black karate garb and carrying a plastic sword.

Police tell the Asbury Park Press the man was late to a costume-themed day at a nearby middle school.
