Burlington County Prison Museum

The Burlington County Prison in Mount Holly, designed by Robert Mills, held prisoners from 1811 to 1965 and is now a museum and a National Historic Landmark. It saw executions and hard imprisonment, and New Jersey haunted-places lists describe disembodied screams, footsteps and objects that move on their own, with the basement and the so-called death cell the most active. A prisoner named Joel Clough, who is said to have spent his last days in chains, is the spirit most often named.
