Cape May Lighthouse and the Emlen Physick Estate Host Full Moon Events

CAPE MAY – Let the light of the full moon guide you to the top of the Cape May Lighthouse or lead you on a ghost hunt through Cape May’s original haunted house, the Emlen Physick Estate, 1048 Washington St. The Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts & Humanities (MAC) offers two tours that take full advantage of bright, moonlit nights, starting Sat., May 5: the Lighthouse Full Moon Climb and the Full Moon Ghost Hunt with Ghost-One.
As the sun sets and the full moon rises, Cape May’s other side begins to stir. Experience Cape May’s original haunted house, the 1879 Emlen Physick Estate, after dark like never before during Full Moon Ghost Hunts with Ghost-One. Ghost-One, a paranormal research team based in Pennsylvania, has done extensive investigations at the Physick Estate and returns for five additional opportunities to experience one of their ghost hunts up close. Try your hand using some of their investigating tools. Attempt to capture EVPs (electronic voice phenomena) as you search different rooms inside the Physick Estate. Afterwards, join your fellow ghost hunters at the Carriage House Café & Tearoom located on the grounds of the Physick Estate over dessert to discuss your findings. Tickets are $30 per person and each tour is limited to 50 people. Full Moon Ghost Hunts with Ghost-One are offered on Sat., May 5, Tue., July 3, Thu., Aug. 2, Friday, Aug. 31 and Sat., Sept. 29 at 7:30 p.m.
