Mordecai House

The Mordecai House, built in 1785, is a registered historical landmark and museum in Raleigh, North Carolina that is the centerpiece of Mordecai Historic Park, adjacent to the Historic Oakwood neighborhood. It is the oldest residence in Raleigh on its original foundation. In addition to the house, the Park includes the birthplace and childhood home of President Andrew Johnson, the Ellen Mordecai Garden, the Badger-Iredell Law Office, Allen Kitchen and St. Mark's Chapel, a popular site for weddings. It is located in the Mordecai Place Historic District.

Haunted history and folklore
The Mordecai House, a historic residence in Raleigh, North Carolina, has been the subject of local anecdotes about paranormal activity since the late 20th century. Multiple local media outlets have reported on community claims of unexplained phenomena at the property, and the Mordecai Historic Park (which manages the house) references these stories in its visitor guides as part of the site’s local folklore. It was featured in a season two episode of Ghost Hunters in which the TAPS team investigated some of those claims. From 2008 to 2016, the National Society of Paranormal Investigation and Research (NSPIR) had a contract with the City of Raleigh to be the exclusive paranormal research team for the park. Since 2017, Mordecai Historic Park's exclusive paranormal research team has been The Ghost Guild Inc., a registered nonprofit organization that investigates the house and its surrounding buildings at least three times per year. They present their findings at the park's annual Festival the last Saturday of October. Visitors and workers have reported seeing a woman wearing a long black skirt, white blouse and a black tie moving quietly through the hallways. It has been rumored that she can sometimes be seen standing on the balcony if you pass by late at night. In recent years, visitors have recounted hearing a piano playing. ==See also==
