Merchant's House Museum reputed hauntings

The Seabury Tredwell House, now the Merchant's House Museum, is a preserved 19th‑century family home built in 1832 and located in Manhattan's East Village. The site is widely cited in local lore as one of New York City's most haunted houses, with visitors and staff reporting unexplained sounds, cold spots, and occasional alleged apparitions; these reports have been covered in newspapers and paranormal literature. The house's long continuous occupancy by the Tredwell family until the 20th century contributes to the stories. Such claims are part of folklore and are debated by skeptics.
