Morris–Jumel Mansion - Revolutionary War history and ghost tales

The Morris–Jumel Mansion, built in 1765 and used briefly as George Washington's headquarters in 1776, is a documented historic site in Washington Heights. The mansion has long been associated with ghost stories and reports of unexplained phenomena linked to its Revolutionary and 19th-century past; such reports are common in tour literature and popular histories. These accounts are part of local legend and are anecdotal rather than scientifically established.
