Operated by New Jersey Paranormal Investigations · Burlington, New Jersey
West Hill Manor in Burlington, New Jersey, sits at 1114 Oxmead Rd and opens its creaking rooms to small, focused paranormal investigations and a guided séance. Built between 1797 and 1799, this Federal‑style house preserves original woodwork and three full floors plus a basement, giving investigators a compact, layered site where historic architecture and reported spirit activity collide. Join New Jersey Paranormal Investigations for a 5½‑hour evening that pairs a trustee‑led history briefing with hands‑on fieldwork. Co‑host Beth O'Brien, a Paranormal Investigator, Psychic Medium and Reiki Practitioner, helps guide the group; she also volunteers at West Hill Manor, connecting preservation work to the site’s living stories. The Emlen family, prominent Quaker settlers of the 1700s, are central to the house’s narrative—Susanna Emlen’s survival of early breast cancer and Eliza Gurney’s link to Abraham Lincoln have both become part of the manor’s lore, names and moments that surface during sessions. Expect a mix of active listening and equipment‑driven experiments: electromagnetic field meters, EVP recorders and spirit talkers are on hand, and the hosts demonstrate how professionals interpret spikes and anomalous audio. Reported phenomena at the manor include footsteps and voices on the third floor, sudden temperature changes, the sound of a gunshot, ITC responses and tactile sensations—details that make this a uniquely intimate investigation rather than a staged tour. Groups are intentionally small—limited to ten people—to keep noise levels low and preserve the house’s atmosphere while giving everyone space to run tests, record EVPs and reflect. Bring a flashlight, closed‑toe shoes and water; personal investigation devices are welcome if you know how to use them, and phones should be set to airplane mode during sessions. All ghost‑hunting equipment used by the team is provided, but food and drinks are not included. For visitors curious about both history and the unexplained, West Hill Manor blends documented colonial era architecture with persistent oral history and modern paranormal methodology. The meeting point is 1114 Oxmead Rd, Burlington, NJ 08016. Advance booking is required; these events sell out because of the cap on participants. Whether you come to test a hypothesis, learn investigative technique or simply feel the weight of layered stories in an old house, this evening delivers a focused, educational and eerie look at how the past can persist in place. Local historians and preservation volunteers treat West Hill Manor as a cultural anchor for Burlington’s historic district, making investigations here valuable beyond thrills: they fund maintenance, educational programs and public access initiatives. The hosts emphasize respectful inquiry, combining scientific method with oral history so results contribute to ongoing interpretation. Nighttime sessions are careful to limit footprint on the building’s fabric; respectful behavior helps ensure future public visits and supports the manor’s caretakers.

The program runs approximately 5½ hours including a trustee history briefing and free‑roam investigation time.
