The Burlington County Prison Museum has a history of paranormal activity and the South Jersey Paranormal Research group has investigated it many times. The Courier Post Online has a nice article on the prison.
Ron Reed, who has volunteered at the museum for six years, won’t say if he believes the place is haunted, but he’s seen some strange things over the years.
“Let me put it this way,” said Reed. “I don’t say I do, but I don’t say I don’t. There are some things that can’t be explained.”
He says he’s heard footsteps echoing when no one is around. He has a recording of someone saying “hang him.” One day, just before closing, he felt what he swears were fingers poking his lower back.
“The hair on my arms stood up,” said Reed, 57, of Mount Holly. “I haven’t seen shadows. But I’ve heard things.”
