37 sourced records. Reports are attributed claims, not proof of supernatural activity.
A lighthouse preservation association’s newsletter records reports of stairway footsteps, tobacco smells, voices, and a disappearing hand at Absecon. It also describes an investigation during noisy weather. The published account preserves these claims without establishing that the sounds or impressions were paranormal.
Local reporting associates Allen House, formerly the Blue Ball Tavern, with accounts of soldiers said to linger after a Revolutionary-era attack. The historic violence and the later ghost tradition need separate evaluation. The report also notes renovation restrictions, so the existence of a haunting story is not permission to enter.
New Jersey tourism names Angel of the Sea among Cape May lodgings associated with haunting stories. Its inclusion supports a record of reported folklore around the property, rather than a verified supernatural event or an independently documented ghost identity.
The Barnsboro Inn is included in New Jersey tourism’s list of dining places associated with ghost sightings. This is a brief record of a reported reputation; the tourism listing supplies no detailed investigation or independently established supernatural explanation.
Unsolved Mysteries interviewed residents Don and Carol Burlingame about footsteps, hammering sounds, unexpectedly closed windows, and objects they believed had moved. They attributed the experiences to original owner Bill Beaty. The program also reports that investigator Michaeleen Maher’s instruments detected nothing unusual, an important limit on the account.
The Brass Rail appears in New Jersey’s tourism roundup of restaurants with reported ghost sightings. Its entry places it in the state’s dining-and-haunting tradition; the brief source does not substantiate a specific ghost’s identity or a cause for the experiences.
A county-produced history program recounts a young member of the Langstaff family reportedly still playing at the Lyceum. The building’s haunting tradition also appears in Jan Lynn Bastien’s Ghosts of Burlington County. These sources document the story’s circulation rather than establish that a child’s spirit remains in the museum.
Burlington County offers scheduled paranormal investigations at its historic prison museum. Ghost Hunters visited the property in its episode Two to Tango. An organized investigation and television appearance support the existence of a haunting reputation; neither demonstrates that a reported sound or image came from a spirit.
Ghost City Tours recounts visitors’ reports of sounds on the staircase, figures near windows, and a feeling of being watched in the tower. Its commercial tour account associates these impressions with the lighthouse’s maritime past, without establishing a particular deceased keeper’s identity or a supernatural explanation.
A student newspaper investigation interviews library staff about a cloaked figure and an unexpectedly moving beanbag. Its April 2025 event report also records sessions with no unusual voices and unrelated spirit-box words. These campus experiences are attributed testimony; the equipment responses do not establish the presence or identity of spirits.
Tour operator Ghost City Tours recounts guests’ and staff members’ reports of hallway figures, unexplained footsteps, and a sense of someone else in a room at Congress Hall. The account belongs to the hotel’s published haunting tradition; the commercial tour narrative does not independently authenticate these experiences.
New Jersey tourism identifies the Cranbury Inn as a restaurant where ghost sightings have been reported. The source supports the existence of that reputation, while leaving individual witnesses, dates, and explanations unspecified. Further primary accounts would help develop the record.
Cape May MAC reports staff experiences and recordings at the 1879 house museum. Its ghost program includes claims by medium Craig McManus of human and canine presences. The museum's architecture and family history are documented separately; interpretations of recordings and mediumship do not establish that spirits inhabit the building.
A lighthouse preservation newsletter records reports of distant bugle notes, cries, and marching figures around Finn’s Point. It connects the tradition with nearby Civil War burials. This entry preserves the attributed reports rather than treating their spectral interpretation or every detail of their backstory as established history.
The Flanders has accounts of a woman in white who sings, dances and disappears through walls. Stories also credit her with unscrewing lightbulbs. A portrait representing the reported figure hangs on the second floor, making the apparition a visible part of the hotel's modern identity.

A 2010 preservation newsletter contrasts stories of former keepers heard near a garden bench with an investigation that reportedly recorded no activity. That negative result is part of the record, alongside the local haunting tradition. Neither the stories nor the equipment establish a supernatural presence.
In a 2014 firsthand account, investigator Greg Caggiano describes electronic-device responses and one participant’s sensation of being touched during a permitted visit to Allaire. The group interpreted these experiences as meaningful, but its interpretation is not independent proof of spirits. The former iron-working community remains a historic site.
Hotel Macomber appears in New Jersey tourism’s account of Cape May’s reportedly haunted accommodations. The brief listing identifies the location’s reputation but does not provide a dated witness account. More detailed operator and historical sources would strengthen this record.

The Holzer Files explored haunting claims at Lambert Castle through a participant’s recurring dreams and the building’s family history. The Activity Continues later examined the episode, questioning whether its mysteries were actually resolved. Both provide media coverage of the claims, while edited television and psychic interpretations remain insufficient to establish them as fact.
Monmouth University’s magazine interviews investigator Kathy Kelly about Shadow Lawn, then called Wilson Hall. It records a tradition that Bertha Gasque, a former family housekeeper, still walks the building at night. Kelly describes her own impressions during an investigation; those impressions do not independently verify the reported apparition.
A county publication records reports beginning in 1994 of rattling doorknobs, unexpected motion-detector activations, and a man seen in Courtroom 1. These are attributed experiences in a working courthouse, not proof of a haunting or permission to explore secured spaces.
A March 2024 episode of Questionable Personalities visits the Old Canal Inn, a neighborhood bar established in 1934. The episode explores its longstanding “Death Seat” legend and stories of resident ghosts. The program documents the bar’s haunting claims, not proof that the seat or building is supernatural.
This former royal governor’s residence became a setting for Ghost Hunters. A 2010 local newspaper announcement documents a screening of the episode and a presentation by Bruce Tango about his experiences at the house. The museum also interprets its long history through ghost tours; the program’s claims remain unproven.
NJ Spotlight News interviewed Red Mill staff about their reported experiences in a 2019 segment. Other published accounts describe footsteps, unexpected machinery activity, and apparitions around the historic mill. These accounts are separate from the museum’s staged Halloween fundraiser; attending that attraction is not a paranormal investigation.
Investigator L’Aura Muller describes a cold area near the nursery and earlier medium-led investigations of Ringwood Manor. The accompanying editor explicitly leaves open an ordinary explanation for the chill. The account also connects local ghost traditions to the published book Old Burial Grounds of New Jersey.
Weird NJ publishes readers’ accounts of a child at a window and a seated figure inside the Seabrook-Wilson House. Its article also challenges the building’s celebrated espionage history and explains how a curator popularized its ghost stories. Reported encounters and disputed historical legends are kept distinct.
Burlington County’s virtual history program asks whether former residents H. B. and Agnes Smith remain at Smithville Mansion. The program presents accounts of paranormal activity alongside the mansion’s history. This is a documented local haunting tradition, with the suggested identities belonging to the claims rather than established fact.
New Jersey tourism includes the Southern Mansion among Cape May accommodations with haunting reputations. The mention documents its place in the town’s ghost-tourism landscape, without supplying a detailed incident or evidence that would establish a paranormal cause.

His account also discusses a filmed window shadow. These are the investigator’s observations and interpretation, not an independently confirmed supernatural finding.
Ocean County’s haunting feature records reports of figures and lights around the hotel and nearby beach. It links these stories with shipwreck victims, but that association and its accusations about a former proprietor are folklore rather than independently established findings.
Medium and author Craig McManus describes temperature changes after opening a small doorway at the Hermitage. His first-person account interprets the change through his paranormal beliefs. That interpretation should be distinguished from the reported physical sensation: a cold room alone does not demonstrate a spirit’s presence.
A local feature describes sightings and sounds attributed to a woman at Wesley Lake. Its account distinguishes reports from the Asbury Park side from sounds reportedly heard across the water in Ocean Grove. The article connects the tradition to a death, but does not establish the apparition’s identity.
Amy Bruni’s Haunted Road episode, featuring Dawn Reichard, discusses reports of voices, staircase footsteps, and dragging sounds upstairs at White Hill. The preservation group links to the episode and offers investigations. These are attributed accounts; the sounds do not establish what caused them or confirm the episode’s dramatic interpretations.
