Morris-Jumel Mansion hauntings

The Morris-Jumel Mansion, Manhattan’s oldest surviving house and a historic site used by George Washington in 1776, is also the focus of longstanding hauntings and ghost stories, including reports of apparitions and mysterious footsteps associated with former residents such as Eliza Jumel. The mansion operates as a museum and its folklore has been discussed in local histories and paranormal guides. Historians note these accounts as part of the site's popular history while treating supernatural claims as unproven and contested.
