The Rabbit Hole

A Ghost You Could Touch: Remembering Rutherford NJ’s Favorite Pirate Joseph Kozak (AKA Francois)

A Ghost You Could Touch: Remembering Rutherford NJ’s Favorite Pirate Joseph Kozak (AKA Francois)

Step into the unforgettable legacy of Joseph Kozak, Rutherford’s real-life time traveler, medium, and protest-in-silk. Known to locals as “the pirate guy,” Kozak - aka Francois -walked the streets of New Jersey in full 17th-century regalia, channeling ghosts, challenging conformity, and making every passerby question what it means to truly exist.

What is NJ Radar?

We made NJ Radar because finding events shouldn’t feel like a full-time job.

We were tired of dead Facebook invites, cluttered calendars, and Reddit rabbit holes. So we made a platform that puts the best events across New Jersey in one place, updated daily, no fluff, no corporate filler.

With our app, you can add events straight to your calendar. So whether it’s a basement punk show, a historic walking tour, or a late-night theater run, you’ll know about it before the group chat does.

And when there’s nothing going on?

We dig deeper.

Our blog covers the weird, wild, and straight-up WTF - from haunted diners and cult crimes to hidden hikes and underground music scenes. If it’s overlooked, offbeat, or just plain bizarre, we’re on it.

This is NJ Radar.

Made for the curious. Powered by obsession.

Because you deserve to know-what’s really going on?

Cat Riechers

Hi, I’m Cat Riechers, the foodie behind @njfood_travels! I love traveling, sports, shopping, and of course, discovering amazing restaurants all over the map. My food blog adventure began in July 2019, with the thought of ‘if I’m going to recommend a place to visit, I should show you a picture why’. What started as a fun idea, quickly blossomed into a full-on foodie journey. I’ll travel anywhere for food and I have a team of foodterns (my family and friends) who know that the camera always eats first. I love meeting with restaurant owners and their staff, hearing their stories, and showcasing their passion. Promoting and supporting local NJ restaurants and building community connections is what makes this adventure truly special!

Salma Harfouche

Hey, I’m Sal - but most people know me as Social Gal. I chase chaos, beauty, and big energy across New Jersey, turning late-night comedy sets, underground art shows, and hometown legends into stories that *hit*. If it’s weird, raw, or lowkey iconic, I’m already three steps ahead with a notebook and a hot take. I almost died after being diagnosed with heart cancer and documented it all on online in hopes I could leave something behind if I die. Surprisingly, I survived but my love for documentation never died. I came out louder, bolder, and more in love with life than ever. I believe the best stories aren’t polished - they’re real, messy, and full of soul. That’s what I bring to NJ Radar. Catch me wherever the vibes are real, the people are unfiltered, and the stories *actually matter*.
