Stay Overnight In The 143-Year-Old Widow McCrea House, An Allegedly Haunted Spot In New Jersey

The Widow McCrea House in Frenchtown, New Jersey, offers a unique bed and breakfast experience with reports of a ghost cat.

New Jersey has plenty of lovely bed and breakfasts in the state, but one of them provides a little extra something... a ghost. The Widow McCrea House in Frenchtown, New Jersey was built in 1878 — so naturally, a house this old carries some spectral baggage. Plenty of visitors have reported experiencing something strange and otherworldly during their stay here, but fair warning, it's not the kind of ghost you'd expect.

The Widow McCrea House has been delighting visitors since 1878.

It's got such a cozy, homey charm to it, it's easy to understand how it's been around over 100 years.

Of course, the bed and breakfast might not be for the faint of heart. Many visitors have reported experiencing something... paranormal here.

It's a pretty unusual ghost, though. No, it's not a ghostly little girl or a shadowy man. Instead, The Widow McCrea House has a ghost cat prowling the hallways.

People have reported hearing ghostly meows, feeling a cat sit on them or their bed when literally nothing is around, and hearing a cat moving around the hallways.

Hey, if a place has to be haunted, a ghost cat is probably the ideal choice! It's hard to be scared by something so adorable.

And don't worry — the owner has confirmed before that there are haunted and non-haunted rooms available, so if the Widow McCrea's house vibe appeals to you but a ghost cat sitting on your legs doesn't ... you can still book a night.
