Morris-Jumel Mansion reputed hauntings

The Morris-Jumel Mansion in Washington Heights, completed in 1765, is Manhattan's oldest surviving house and served as George Washington's temporary headquarters in 1776. Its long history and notable occupants have generated numerous anecdotal reports of apparitions and unexplained noises attributed to former residents such as Eliza Jumel. The site operates as a museum; claims of hauntings are part of local lore and are anecdotal rather than scientifically verified.
