Old St. Patrick's Cathedral crypt and burial ground

Old St. Patrick's Cathedral on Mulberry Street contains an underground crypt and burial spaces that were used in the 19th century for parishioners and clergy and retain tombs and memorials from that period. The cathedral's crypt and historical burials are part of the documented fabric of New York's early Catholic community and are accessible through guided programs and special services. Over the years staff and visitors have reported anecdotal accounts of unusual noises and sensations at the site; those accounts are anecdotal and not substantiated by scientific study. The cathedral is preserved as a historic landmark within the city.
