The Most Haunted Places in New Jersey
HAUNTED NEW JERSEY
HAUNTED MARLBORO PSYCHIATRIC CEMETARY
Dare to embark on a ghost hunt at your own risk! Be warned, apparitions may follow you home. And if they come from this cemetery, they can haunt and terrorize you until you’re driven to the brink of madness. (Exaggeration for creative effects.) We must pay respect to those who struggled in life and were laid to rest here. But beware, for the Marlboro psychiatric cemetery is known for its sinister and grueling hauntings that will chill you to the bone.
In 1931, the expansive lands of Marlboro Psychiatric Hospital housed hundreds of residents. Finally closing its doors in 1998, the buildings were demolished in 2013. However, one remnant remains on the fenced-in property — a graveyard filled with those who passed away. These forgotten individuals have graves only marked by numbers. In 1991, a monument was installed to guide pairing names and dates with these numbers.
Here is your list of where to go ghost hunting in New Jersey. We are creating the list because we will ghost hunt each of these locations over the next few months. Follow along as we travel to the ghostly places with caution to discover the apparitions while trying not to become frantic with fear when we encounter the spirits from beyond. Follow along if you dare.
Since we are located in Monmouth County, we will first start with the more local haunted hotels, graveyards, and locations
THE BERKELY, ASBURY PARK, HAUNTED HOTEL
The hotel is the main attraction in Asbury Parks’s paranormal activity. This may be due to the S.S. Morro cruise ship, which exploded and washed ashore near the hotel entrance in 1934.
They run safe Halloween tours that allow groups to explore the hotel’s haunted areas—we hope to do it sooner and not in a group setting.
THE PARAMOUNT THEATRE ASBURY PARK
Located next to the Berkeley Oceanfront Hotel is the Paramount Theatre. It stands tall and proud on the shore of Asbury Park. Its historic walls witnessed two tragic shipwrecks off the coast of New Jersey, claiming countless lives and leaving behind a haunting atmosphere in the surrounding waters. The crashing waves and salty air whispered of the past, reminding visitors of the powerful force of nature and the fragility of human life.
THE SHORE HOUSE – MAGEE’S WEST SIDE TAVERN
Constructed in the 19th century, Magee’s West Side Tavern, also known as Shore House and West Point Hotel, has been rumored to be a hub for paranormal activity. Eyewitnesses have claimed to witness glasses spontaneously falling, windows shattering, and mischievous spirits locking them in a closet.
Some speculate that these occurrences are linked to a tragic shipwreck in 1846, with theories suggesting the building may have served as a temporary morgue for disaster victims.

The Greenville Hotel – Bayhead N.J. – Haunted Hotel
There have been many reports of laughter from children playing, footsteps in places humans are not in, apparitions in old, elegant clothing, and many other sightings.
We hope to stay at the hotel, interview the owners and staff, find paranormal evidence and explain who the apparitions are and why they are there.
The Surf City Hotel – Long Beach Island
Top on our list is The Surf City Hotel on Long Beach Island. As you can see, we love the Island for milky way photography and lighthouse photography. We will travel back and hopefully obtain permission to hunt the Surf City Hotel. This hotel was built in the 1800s hotel. It has been documented that apparitions haunt the hotel regularly.
There was a shipwreck of Powhattan in 1854, where almost 300 people were killed. The word is they stored the bodies in this building before the owner robbed the bodies. We will travel to the hotel in hopes of interviewing the new owner and staff, exploring the paranormal, and trying to connect with those who died in the shipwreck and those who are on the other side.
THE OWNER DID NOT WANT TO TALK ABOU THIS , SO NO DETAILS WILL FOLLOW
