About this Event
Investigate paranormal activity behind the scaffolding! In this special series of investigations, we are bringing you into the Mansion after the construction crews leave for a different kind of investigation. Over many years, changes to the physical interior and exterior have caused reported shifts in the paranormal activity experienced in the Mansion. With extended access during this current period of change, we invite you to join us to get to the bottom of the question - “If there are ghosts in the Morris-Jumel Mansion, what do they think of the restoration?”.
Featured on The Holzer Files, Ghost Adventures, Netflix’s Surviving Death, Haunted USA: New York, Good Day, New York, BBC Travel, NY1, BuzzFeed, and the Today Show, the Morris-Jumel Mansion is perceived by many as a paranormal site and has attracted academics and investigators such as Hans Holzer, Zak Bagans, the Tennessee Wraith Chasers, and now you!
Looking for an unforgettable ghost adventure for you and your friends? This Spooky Season, book an exclusive paranormal investigation at Manhattan’s oldest surviving house, where you will learn the background of paranormal investigations, including the legendary paranormal activity at Morris-Jumel Mansion, while learning the history of the Mansion, its former residents, and interesting facts about the museum collection. During the program, you will have after-dark access to ghost hunt in the period rooms of the Mansion, normally closed off to the public. Believers and skeptics alike will enjoy the evening, and will have the opportunity to possibly communicate with Morris-Jumel Mansion’s former residents using paranormal investigative equipment.
