The Emlen Physick Estate is known for hauntings including disembodied voices, phantom footsteps, and apparitions of Dr. Physick and his family, particularly his Aunt Emily. The estate, the only Victorian house museum in Cape May, also features reported encounters with ghost dogs. These phenomena are experienced by staff and visitors, leading to the home's reputation as a haunted house. Visitors and investigators have reported seeing figures in period clothing, potentially Dr. Physick, his mother, and his aunts, Emilie and Isabella. Disembodied voices, phantom footsteps, and unexplained noises like a kicked wall are commonly reported. Cold spots and the feeling of a dog nipping at one's ankles are also reported. Dr. Emlen Physick Jr., his mother, and his two maiden aunts lived in the mansion. All members of the Physick family died within the house, contributing to its reputation as a haunted location. Due to the family's love for animals, especially dogs, some believe the spirits of their ghost dogs also linger in the estate.
