New Jersey Paranormal Investigations
Strauss Mansion Investigation
New Jersey Paranormal Investigations conducts immersive ghost-hunting events and investigations based in Burlington, New Jersey. The organization offers a rotating roster of investigations at historic and allegedly haunted locations, including manor houses, museums, hotels, mansions, and a tattoo parlor. Events combine guided history tours, hands-on experiments, and the use of professional paranormal equipment such as K2 meters and thermal detectors. Several investigations are tied to charitable causes, including benefit events for the Center for Hope & Safety and Make‑A‑Wish, and other events that support recovery and community organizations.
Trips range from exclusive, limited‑attendance nights—such as an investigation at West Hill Manor restricted to ten participants—to larger public investigations at sites like the Red Mill Museum Village, the Shanley Hotel, and the Strauss Mansion. Age restrictions apply for some events; many investigations require participants to be 18 or older. Investigations are led or guided by trustees and hosts at each location, and certain events feature named hosts, including a tattoo parlor investigation led by Sophia Wescott.
For those who prefer remote participation, select investigations provide live coverage options. New Jersey Paranormal Investigations emphasizes historical context, structured experiments, and respectful conduct at historic properties. The organization highlights authenticity by partnering with site trustees and established venues, maintaining limited-access events, and promoting safety and charity support during public investigations.
Investigations include events at the Ocean County Art Guild, the Samuel Miller Mansion in Columbia, PA, Taylor‑Butler House (Marlpit Hall), and the Strauss Mansion. Several investigations highlight historic significance and public storytelling and education.
