Experience Ghostly Revelations at the Ford Mansion Oct. 15

MORRISTOWN, NJ — History and Halloween lovers rejoice — the Morris County Tourism Bureau is holding "Ghostly Revelations at the Ford Mansion" this Saturday at 10 a.m. Everyone is invited to hear stories about the ghosts from 1780 that may potentially dwell in Gen. George Washington's Morristown headquarters.

Gordon Ward recently conducted a paranormal study of Ford Mansion and will present new photos, audio recordings, developing theories, and information collected from the investigation.

Washington lived in the mansion for 200 days in 1780, and the Ford family resided there for three generations. Some people believe ghosts with Revolutionary War secrets inhabit the mansion today.

This presentation will last approximately one hour. Afterwards, atteendees will get to tour Ford Mansion with park rangers, and then spend the rest of the day at Morristown National Historical Park.

Participants will meet at 10 a.m. in the auditorium of the Washington's Headquarters Museum at 30 Washington Place. Free parking is available in two lots adjacent to the park, as well as along Washington Place.

The cost is $15 per person, which includes free park admission for the day. Morris County Tourism Bureau asks for atteendees to pre-register and pre-pay online here. People can also drop their payment off at the Tourism Bureau at 6 Court Street, open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
