The Betsy Ross House is described as a haunted site, with reports of disembodied voices and crying, particularly a woman seen crying at the foot of a bed in the basement, possibly Betsy Ross mourning her deceased husband and child. Visitors also report an oppressive feeling, objects moving, and an incident where a former director felt a hand grab her shoulder and fled the building. Some paranormal investigators have detected EVPs (electronic voice phenomena) and high electromagnetic fields in the house and gift shop, suggesting persistent paranormal activity. The most frequent reports describe a woman, believed to be Betsy Ross, crying at the foot of a bed in the basement. Visitors and staff have heard rustling sounds, moans, and disembodied voices coming from the basement and other parts of the house. Some report seeing clear faces, including one that appeared on Betsy's bed, and an "evil face" on a flashlight. A former director of the house reported feeling a large hand grab her shoulder in the attic director's office. Investigators have recordedEVPs and detected high electromagnetic fields, particularly in the basement, suggesting a "fear cage" with strong paranormal presences. Some believe the crying woman is Betsy Ross, mourning the loss of her first husband, who died in the war, and a daughter, according to some accounts. The presence of other historical figures, such as the artist Charles Henry Weisgerber who preserved the house, and potentially a murdered security guard in the gift shop, may contribute to the paranormal reports. The house's reputation as a haunted location has led to features on paranormal television shows like Ghost Hunters.
