Boo! And we're not kidding...! Cape May is one of the most haunted places in America and if you get a thrill from things that go bump in the night, this is the place for you. From the 1879 Emlen Physick Estate to a bevy of B&B inns, hotels and guest houses, all with resident spirits, you'll find plenty to get your heart pumping.
