Paranormal Historical Investigation: Exploring the Battle of Harlem Heights

Looking for an unforgettable ghost adventure for you and your friends? This exclusive, themed paranormal investigation gives you insider access to Manhattan’s oldest surviving house — on the anniversary of the Battle of Harlem Heights – which was fought while Washington and the Continental Army were stationed at the Mansion.

You will learn the background of paranormal investigations, including the legendary paranormal activity at Morris-Jumel Mansion, while learning the history of the Mansion, its former residents, and interesting facts about the museum collection. During the program, you will have after-dark access to ghost hunt in the period rooms of the Mansion, normally closed off to the public. Believers and skeptics alike will enjoy the evening, and will have the opportunity to possibly communicate with Morris-Jumel Mansion’s former residents using paranormal investigative equipment.

  • This event is strictly for those 18 and over.
  • Please wear comfortable shoes and clothing.
  • All participants must show proof of vaccination.
  • This event is capped at 16 participants.
  • All guests MUST wear masks, and will be provided with nitrile gloves for use with the investigative equipment (masks and gloves are NOT optional.)
  • This is a specialty themed investigation; it lasts 2.5 hours and is priced at $70/person.
  • Guests will not be permitted entry to the park/mansion before 6:45pm; the tour will begin promptly at 7pm; the gates will be closed and locked at 7:05pm and no entry will be permitted after that time. There are NO EXCEPTIONS to this. Please plan your arrival accordingly. If you find that you are running late, please call the museum before 7pm at 212-923-8008.
