Merchant's House Museum hauntings

The Merchant's House Museum, built in 1832 and preserved as a family home, is located at 29 East 4th Street. It is widely cited in New York folklore as one of the city's most haunted houses, with staff and visitors reporting unexplained phenomena such as cold spots, apparitions, and moving objects. The house was the long-term home of the Tredwell family, whose presence is commonly linked to these reports. Claims of hauntings are part of local tradition and are not scientifically verified.
