What's a creepy ghost story about New Jersey?

If you visit Angel of the Sea, an historic inn in Cape May, you may meet one of the state's more infamous ghosts. Rumor has it that a woman in the 1960s, known only as Miss Brown, forgot her room key and attempted to climb her way in. She fell to her death and never left. There have since been reports of vibrating beds, swaying furniture, and mysterious lights at this New Jersey hotel. Another hotel in Cape May, Hotel Macomber, also has spirits all its own. It is said that there are multiple spirits haunting this centrally located boutique hotel in Cape May. Sightings of a shabbily dressed waitress in the dining and kitchen areas have been reported along with claims of moving silverware. Room 10 is said to be the summer home of a spirit from the 1940s who often loudly drags her trunk about. We don't know about you, but we would steer far, far away from these places!
