Van Wickle House

Franklin Township, New Jersey, United States

Historic house · local-legend

The Story

HauntedPlaces.org attributes the house's spirits to Evert and Cornelia Van Wickle. The reported activity is domestic and unruly: unexpected puddles, doilies seemingly flying, slamming doors, a radio playing without being switched on and kitchen noises when nobody is there. Animals are also said to react to unseen presences. The directory's dramatic wedding-day double-death story is unverified and is not adopted as historical fact.
