"No one has yet claimed ownership of a giant head found last week floating in the Hudson River, but we may have scooped the major news outlets on its possible origin.
If you aren’t familiar with the story, a rowing crew from Marist College in Poughkeepsie, New York, found the 7-foot-tall, foam and fiberglass head damaged and adrift on April 22.
The team’s coach considered the enormous, Greek-style noodle a water hazard and enlisted 10 students to haul it to shore. It’s since become a school attraction.
Oddly, no one has seemed interested in retrieving the head.
However, Weird NJ was quick to identify it from issue 12 of the magazine, published in 1999, in which a reader-submitted article placed the head in Bergen County, New Jersey"

"There’s been no word on how the head ended up some 50 miles away, and we’re still unsure of the previous owner’s name. If the Weird New Jersey team and I discover anymore information, we’ll be sure to let you know!"

It vaguely reminds me of a David Adickes prototype: https://www.google.com/search... No idea how it would have ended up in the Hudson, though.

I love Weird NJ. I have all of the issues and it just reminds me so much of home....even though I'm from NY. The ex was from NJ and we used to see a lot of these things.

It does resemble the Adickes heads somewhat. ... Weird NJ uncovers some wonderful stuff, some of which I'm familiar with and some not.

I am always amazed by the number of ghost and UFO sightings in NJ.
- Mary Carmen
Since the state has such a long history of European settlement and lots of creepy old ruins, there's plenty of fodder for ghost stories.
