This week takes the Ghost Adventures Crew to their first investigation in the major New York borough of Manhattan. Here they will be hitting up the oldest home in the area, the Morris-Jumel Mansion. Built in 1765, the home served as headquarters to George Washington in 1766 during the Revolutionary War. Eventually, Washington and his men fled farther north and the home was occupied by the British Army and the Hessian mercenaries they had hired.
While taking the initial tour of the home, Zak asks the manager if everything is original to the building, to which she informs him that it is. It’s commonly believed that natural materials are able to absorb and hold onto energies and vibrations of the past. There have been many reports of paranormal activity in the home, including the office manager, who claims to have seen a soldiers booted foot walking down the stairs. According to legend, a soldier died on the stairs after tripping and falling onto his own bayonet. In 2013, the Acoustic Archives went into the home to do some routine recordings and to their surprise, they captured many EVPs, one of which was a young woman singing.
