Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx is reportedly haunted by the spirits of the Stockbridge Massacre victims, with paranormal activity often linked to the Van Cortlandt House, which includes reports of disembodied whispers, objects moving, and melodic chants. The victims' bodies were buried on the property after the 1774 massacre, a violent event involving the Queen's Rangers. One of the primary sources of haunting is the belief that the Stockbridge Massacre, a significant event on the Van Cortlandt homestead in 1774, left a lasting spiritual impression on the land. Visitors and staff have reported hearing disembodied voices, whispers, and even repetitive, melodic chants within the park. In the historic Van Cortlandt House, there are accounts of children's toys or dolls being found in different parts of the estate, suggesting a supernatural presence. Another reported haunting within the Van Cortlandt House involves the spirit of a forlorn servant girl, who is said to still be searching for the family's lost silver.
