Ghost Walk with Craig McManus

Graveyards, Ghosts, & Mansion Combo Tour   

The Graveyards, Ghosts, & Mansion Combo tour leaves no stone unturned when it comes to stories of spirits in Cape May. Start with a trolley ride to the historic Cold Spring Presbyterian Cemetery to see the graves of Dr. Emlen Physick and his family. Here, you’ll listen to EVPs (electronic voice phenomena) recorded by tour guides and staff at the estate. Upon your return, you learn about some unusual Victorian funereal customs and visit several rooms with even more EVPs. This Tour begins and ends at the Physick Estate.  

  

Historic Haunts Combo Tour 

Take an evening ride through the Historic District and hear stories of haunted Cape May. Step off the trolley at the Physick House Museum with your guide and see Cape May’s only Victorian house museum, reputed to be haunted, as you learn about Victorian Spiritualism. This tour combines a Ghosts of Cape May trolley tour with a visit to the Physick House. In the museum, guides will compare the methods of spirit contact used by the Victorians with those of today’s paranormal investigators. Selected rooms on both floors are included in the tour. Begins and ends at the Ocean Street trolley stop.
