Haunted Cape May

Cape May, NJ

Did you hear something go bump in the night?  Did you sense someone sitting beside you only to realize there was no one there?  Your guided trolley ride through gas-lit streets takes you past many Cape May houses with paranormal activity documented by psychic medium and ghost writer Craig McManus, and then on to the Physick Estate, where your guide will talk about the ghostly residents there and explore the Victorian era’s fascination with spiritualism, and how it differed from today’s “ghost hunters.”  Enjoy a Tea Luncheon in the Carriage House or under the festive tent in the Garden Patio.  Delicious tea sandwiches, scones, tea breads, soups and salads and much more will be traditionally served in an elegant manner typical of the Victorians.  As you are finishing your meal, listen and learn about some of the bizarre spiritualist beliefs popular during the Victorian era such as mediums, seances, apparitions, ectoplasmic, emissions, levitation, and clairvoyance and their practitioners.  Also reviewed is mesmerism and phrenology.  After lunch, feel free to browse the Physick Estate’s museum gift shop or view the Carriage House gallery exhibit.  Rest stops will be made both en route to Cape May and on the return trip home.
