Most of the State's ghosts seem to prefer haunting one particular spot.
Seven Stars Tavern, built in 1762 near Woodstown, is headquarters for a
number of ghosts, and has been called the champion haunted house of
New Jersey. The specter of the builder has been seen digging in a nearby
field, presumably for treasure hidden during the Revolution; two sisters
named Stevens said a woman's ghost visited their bedroom; and Bluebeard, a reputedly blasphemous pirate, had his neck twisted by the devil.
There was also a band of fighting ghosts, one of whom was called
Beelzebub; and a number of apparitions whose names alone survive -- the
Indian, the Peeping Woman, the Horse and Rider, the Hessian, and
others.
