Glebe House, Woodbury
The Glebe House in Woodbury is reportedly home to at least two distinct spirits: an aggressive entity in the attic and a friendly but sometimes upset African American woman, possibly a former maid. A medium visiting the house also sensed a conflict between a woman who wants her story told and a man who wants to prevent it. While not directly about the house itself, the location also has a connection to the history of slavery in the area, as the attic was once used as living quarters for enslaved people. Aggressive Spirit: This malevolent or fearful presence is said to reside in the attic and may be responsible for attacks on a former owner of the house. African American Woman: A typically friendly, though occasionally distressed, spirit, this woman is thought to have been a maid in the house. A medium who visited the house reported feeling a man's energy that is resistant to someone else's energy, likely the female spirit, wanting her story revealed. The house served as the birthplace of the Episcopal Church in America, with figures like Samuel Seabury playing a pivotal role. However, the presence of an attic where enslaved people lived also suggests a complex history of servitude. A visiting medium noted a strong feeling that an underground tunnel, possibly connected to the nearby cemetery, might have existed, though this has not been proven. During a ghost hunt, an EMF meter detected spikes in the electromagnetic field, a common indicator of potential paranormal activity.
