Gloucester County Historical Society, 58 N. Broad Street, Woodbury, NJ

In collaboration with <a href="https://sjgr.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">South Jersey Ghost Research</a>, the <a href="https://www.gchsnj.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Gloucester County Historical Society</a> is sponsoring a program that enables 25 people to join a paranormal investigation team analyzing a sprawling, 260-year-old Victorian mansion in the center of Woodbury.
The event takes place on Friday, November 6, from 8:00 PM to 12:00 AM. The cost is $30 per person and registration is required. The location is the Hunter-Lawrence-Jessup House at 58 North Broad Street in Woodbury. (See Google Maps link below.)
Register and buy tickets for $30 a person <a href="https://www.gchsnj.org/shop/be-a-paranormal-detective-for-a-night-in-woodbury/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">here</a>. Tickets must be purchased in advance online.
The building is the home of the Historical Society Museum. It has a disturbing history that hints at multiple possibilities of ghostings.
The building was standing in 1777 when the defeated Hessian survivors of the Battle of Red Bank retreated into town, many of them horribly wounded and dying. Those soldiers camped in the house's yard. Just a hundred yards away they had commandeered the Friends Meetinghouse to use as their hospital. And the dead soldiers were buried in a makeshift cemetery directly next to the Hunter-Jessup House. In 1883 those bodies were dug up and reburied in Bridgeton.
In another traumatic era, the house was the home of families that owned enslaved African Americans who likely worked there as domestic servants as well as in the outside commercial labors of those prominent white families.
The three-story house has 20 rooms and creepy two-century-old cellars. In 1979, the jawbone, several teeth, and limb bones were found buried directly beside the house while excavating for an addition. Examined by technicians at the New Jersey State Museum in Trenton, the bones were found to be those of an 18th-century female aged 15-16 who suffered from malnutrition at the time of her death. One suggestion was that she may have been an ill indentured servant who sat down against the wall of the house and died there. Another is that she was hastily buried in the same spot for reasons unknown.
