THE STORY

Reported Haunting

Cherry Hill is associated with local reports of unexplained paranormal activity dating back many years. Witnesses have described shadow figures, mysterious lights, and disembodied voices in the area after dark. Visitors also report an unsettling feeling and sudden cold spots while exploring the property.

This late-1700s historic manor house was the site of the famed Cherry Hill murder in 1827, in which Elsie Lansing, wife of businessman John Whipple, plotted with her lover drifter Jesse Strang to kill her husband. The controversial trial led to the hanging of Strang. Folks have seen an unidentified ghost on the grounds.
