    Text by Susan Tischler | Published October 1st, 2004 in Cape May • Ghosts and Spirits • Guest Houses • History

    I’ve been looking for ghosts for three years running and have yet to see one, hear one, or feel one – let alone talk to one. Everyone else seems to see them and sometimes even photograph them. What’s wrong with me? I’m a nice person. Why don’t they show themselves to me?

  5. On Assignment: Touring Haunted Cape May

    Text by Susan Tischler | Published October 1st, 2004 in Ghosts and Spirits • On Assignment • Tours

    It is dusk and just beginning to cool. A quiet has settled along the beachfront on this Sunday evening in late September. The throngs of tourists have disappeared but there are still a nice number of people walking about. Halloween and November often suggest an image of a “ghost town” in Cape May. We don’t so much have tumbleweeds rolling down empty streets; it’s more like occasional sand traps brought about by heavy winds whistling long into the night.

  6. Long Gone but Refusing to Leave: The Ghosts of Cape May

    Text by Susan Tischler | Published October 1st, 2002 in Ghosts and Spirits • Tours

    It was a dark and stormy night…. well….it was dark. Desiree, our guide to ghostly apparitions, has already led us up Beach Avenue, along Jackson Street, over to the Washington Street Mall, down Ocean and, now, we stand peering up into the window of Room #10 at the Hotel Macomber, formerly the Stockton Villa, circa 1914, on Beach Avenue and Howard Street.

  7. Spirited Cape May: Do You Believe?

    Text by Jennifer Brownstone Kopp | Published October 2nd, 2000 in Cape May • Ghosts and Spirits

    Having grown up in many areas of the country, and almost always living in houses at least a hundred years-old, I’ve had a fair share of “ghostly” experiences. Many, of course, can be written off as coincidence, and some as simple quirks. But there are a few that I, a mostly practical and skeptical person, cannot deny.

  8. Spirited Cape May: More Than Meets the Eye

    Text by Jennifer Brownstone Kopp | Published October 1st, 2000 in Ghosts and Spirits

    It’s been said Cape May is full of ghosts. Books have been written on the subject and there are even “ghost tours” to be taken. And, surely, one look at the town with its collection of 19th-century buildings could lead one to suspect there must be a few lingering souls lost in time, trying to make their way home.

  9. Searching for Henry Sawyer, the Past Comes Alive

    Text by Jennifer Brownstone Kopp | Published October 1st, 1999 in Cape Island • Cape May • Cape May County • Ghosts and Spirits

    Through the years rumors of sightings have persisted. Donlin knows a man claiming to have seen Sawyer himself 27 years ago standing at the top of the stair case. The man was 13 years old at the time, and never forgot the encounter.
