Green-Wood Cemetery ghost tours and sightings

Green-Wood Cemetery, founded in 1838 at 500 25th Street in Brooklyn, operates organized night and historical tours that emphasize the site's ghost lore and reported supernatural sightings. Tour guides and visitors have recounted alleged apparitions, odd lights, and unexplained sounds associated with the cemetery's historic monuments and notable gravesites. Local media and guidebooks have covered these anecdotes as part of Green-Wood's public history and programming. Such reports are part of folkloric tradition and are disputed rather than scientifically validated.
