Do you want to discover if Absecon Lighthouse is home to ghostly keepers that still watch over the shore in Atlantic City? Did the Jersey Devil pay a visit in 1909? Come visit the Absecon Lighthouse to hear the true ghost stories that prompted a visit from SyFy’s Ghost Hunters! The New Jersey Researchers of Paranormal Evidence (NJ ROPE) will be on property to help you hunt ghosts. Plus, hear and see their eerie recordings & video taken during previous paranormal investigations.
Guided tours of our grounds and tower will let you explore our rich history and experience some spooky tales. Reservations are required; call 609-449-1360. Tour times are 6pm and 7pm and include a tower climb. But wait – there’s more! At 8pm, NJROPE invites you to join them on an actual paranormal investigation with ghost tracking equipment! Tickets for the one hour tours are $25.00, and tickets for the 2 & ½ hour ghost investigation are $50, and must be reserved or else we’ll send a ghost to follow you home!
Since The Inlet Public Private Association renovated the lighthouse tower, rebuilt the Keeper’s Cottage and re-opened to visitors, several staff and volunteers have shared stories of being alone on the property but hearing footsteps & voices, smelling smoke and even seeing a few ghostly apparitions. Now is your chance to experience the Absecon Lighthouse as you’ve never experienced it before.
Absecon Lighthouse is a state-owned historic site administered by the private non-profit Inlet Public/Private Association. Absecon Lighthouse received a general operating support grant from the New Jersey Historical Commission, a division of Cultural Affairs in the Department of State, and the New Jersey Arts and Cultural Renewal Fund at the Princeton Area Community Foundation.
