It wouldn't be Halloween without a little ghost story, and Cape May has plenty to share. Here is one of the most talked about:
**The Trunk Lady of the Hotel Macomber**
One of the most famous ghost stories in Cape May revolves around a mysterious figure known as the "Trunk Lady." This spectral visitor is often spotted at the historic Hotel Macomber.
Legend has it that the Trunk Lady was a frequent guest at the hotel, always arriving with her distinctive steamer trunk. She would spend her summers in Cape May, enjoying the seaside air and the company of other guests. However, her spirit, it seems, has remained tied to the hotel long after her physical departure.
Guests and staff have reported various paranormal encounters, including the sound of footsteps echoing through the halls, unexplained temperature fluctuations, and the eerie sensation of being watched. Some have even claimed to have seen the ghostly figure of the Trunk Lady herself, carrying her antique trunk and disappearing into the shadows.
Whether you believe in the supernatural or not, the Trunk Lady's story adds a touch of mystery and intrigue to Cape May's rich history.
