Morris-Jumel Mansion legends

Morris-Jumel Mansion, built in 1765 and considered Manhattan's oldest house, stands at 65 Jumel Terrace. The mansion is associated with legends of hauntings, including reported sightings attributed to Eliza Jumel and British soldiers from the Revolutionary War era. It served briefly as George Washington's headquarters in 1776, a documented historical fact often referenced in the house's storied past. Accounts of supernatural activity at the mansion are anecdotal and remain a matter of debate.
