Are you an adventure seeker who's curious to learn more about haunted places? If so, head to The Emlen Physick Estate in Cape May when you're in New Jersey. Here, you'll get to learn about (and possibly experience) hearing and seeing the ghosts of the family who used to live in this one-of-a-kind Victorian home.
Guests of the now museum have claimed to have heard footsteps as well as the voice of a child in the home. Additionally, some visitors have said to have heard the sound of dogs barking too. Since there aren't animals on the property, the barks might be the ghosts of the former owner.

Nowadays, the Physick Estate is a museum that highlights this Victorian home's unique architecture and history.
This is what the property looked like in the early 1960s, before it was taken over by the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts & Humanities, and became a museum.
Pay attention to all the details in the furniture when you take a tour of the mansion.
Feel free to use your imagination to get a feel of what life was like for the ghosts said to haunt the museum.
