NYC Life: 6 Halloween Events, Cannabis, and Holiday Cheer
Want to experience real ghosts on Halloween? Well head to the Merchant House on Fourth Street in NYC. This brick and marble row house was built in 1832. Three years later, it was purchased by a prosperous hardware merchant, Seabury Tredwell, and the Tredwell family continued to live in the house for almost 100 years. Today, miraculously, that merchant’s house still stands. It has been open to the public as a museum since 1936. And it has ghosts.

Seven family members died in the house; their funerals were held in the front parlor hung with black crepe. We invite you to venture into the dark and ghostly shadows of history by flickering candlelight to hear chilling tales of restless phantoms, voices calling into the night, and otherworldly occurrences from the people who actually experienced them. Tickets are $40.
