The stops along the Haunted Holly Ghost Tour are all steeped in history...and have all been verified to be haunted by South Jersey Ghost Research, professional ghost researchers who have been investigating haunted buildings since 1955 SJGR has labeled Mount Holly a "hotbed" of ghostly activity. If SJGR says you've got ghosts...you probably do! For more information about the tour, call 609-914-0811.

Do you dare join the Haunted Holly Ghost Tour? We will be visiting the following hauntingly historic buildings in Mount Holly and will enjoy light refreshments and a presentation from a medium at Burlington County Community College. Staff from South Jersey Ghost Research will also be available from 7:00 to 8:30 at BCC to answer any questions you have about ghosts!

High Street Grill

This friendly local gathering offers customers fine dining and music playing almost every night of the week. Formerly a pharmacy and a shoe store, this 150-year old establishment recently had their paranormal stirrings verified by South Jersey Ghost Research, who, among others, saw the ghost of a young woman.

The Robin's Nest Restaurant

In the center of historic downtown, Mount Holly's shopping district, the Robin's Nest offers interesting, eclectic cuisine peppered with a French American flair. Once a pool hall and also a bakery, their food is so good that a ghostly young woman in a yellow dress still comes to dine.

The Thomas Budd House

Built circa 1744, this is the earliest known residence on its original site in Mt Holly. Thomas Budd, a plantation owner, was one of the incorporators of the Bridgetown Library, now the Mount Holly Library. Three have presented themselves recently to the past owners: a Hessian soldier who was killed here during the revolution, a former grounds keeper, and a colonial woman who is always reaching for something with her left arm.

Relief Fire Company

Organized as the Britannia Fire Company in 1752, Relief is the oldest continuously active volunteer fire company in the United States. Original leather buckets, lanterns and other memoriabilia is on display. Possibly some former fire fighters find it hard to leave, as current members requested an investigation by South Jersey Ghost Research to explain the weird noises, shadows and other unexplained activity in the building. SJGR confirmed...yeah, you've got ghosts!

Burlington County Prison Museum

A prison for 154 years, at the time of its closing in 1965, it was the oldest continually used prison in the United States. Since the 1800's, rumors thrived that Joel Clough, the first male executed in the prison for murdering his wife with a table leg and now buried in the backyard, haunts cell #5. Some believe the ghost of prison guard William Harry King, murdered in the basement in 1920, still roams these stone hallways. Ghost stories abound at this site, the scene of murders and hangings in days past. South Jersey Ghost Research, as well as other professional ghost investigators and news personnel have been on site over a dozen times and ghostly activity is always confirmed.

Mount Holly Library

Chartered by King George II on June 11th, 1765 as the Bridgetown Library, Mount Holly's library is the 5th oldest library in New Jersey. This Georgian-style mansion was built in 1830 and was the home of James Langstaff, a wealthy farmer. It was acquired as the library's first permanent home in 1957. A little girl died when visiting her grandparents here and it is said she sometimes visits during children's presentations.
