According to to “Daily Record,” the ghost of a Revolutionary War soldier is believed to haunt the building, and guests have reported seeing other apparitions. One spirit is that of a woman who stands in the dining room window, and the other is a little boy dressed in blue. The boy allegedly once opened the door for a delivery man and led him to the third floor.
The alleged haunts around the Proprietary House has attracted investigations from ghost hunter and paranormal investigation groups like Jersey Unique Minds Paranormal Society and The Atlantic Paranormal Society (TAPS from SyFy’s “Ghost Hunters,” as reported by “NJ.com.” It continues to stand as a museum today.

Share Your ExperiencesThrough the eyes of the small boy
I visited back in my prime of ghost hunting, about a decade ago, and I decided to share my story because I've only recently discovered this website. I wasn't expecting much when I arrived around 11:23pm to the area. Evidently, the house was closed for tours at that time of night so there was no way for me to get inside. Or so I thought. I was only walking around the premises inspecting anything I could find to add to my studies when I made my way around the front of the house and saw the front door just barely creek open. I gathered all my courage and 36 years of ghost hunting experience and made my way inside. Though it was dark, I was able to make my way to the kitchen, I immediately saw the small boy I had heard was the haunt of this house. He offered my coffee however I declined because I can't drink caffine at that time of night, I'd be bouncing off the walls. Unfortunatley, when I declined, the small boy smashed the coffee pot over my head and I passed out. I woke up on the stairs leading up to the front door with no visible injuries. At once I got back into my car and drove to the police station. They refused to even listen to me so I've kept this story to myself all this time. I think it's time to now air it out to spread awareness. This haunted house is not a joke. 10/10 would recommend.
Posted 11/3/25I encounter the boy Ghost.
I live around the corner from this building so at nights I take walks to the waterfront.one night around 11pm, I looked at the building and I did see a boy walking in the front door . When I yelled hay are you ok he looked at me and disappeared. I got so scared and ran home. Ever since that night I no longer take that street. Im a man of 56 years old and I ran like a child chasing an ice cream truck. Really creepy.

Proprietary House
I was listening to a lecture on the ground floor level before a tour around Halloween and I started to feel claustrophobic. Then cold air swept through around me and I felt something tap my shoulder. I quickly turned around and saw nothing but there was a presence of something that night.
