The Phelps Mansion was built in 1870 for Sherman D. Phelps, a successful business man and the 5^th Mayor of the City of Binghamton.  The family moved into their brand new home in 1871 and by 1882 every family member living there had passed away.  Today people report seeing apparitions of spirits in period clothing watching tour groups from a distance. There have been several reports about a clock that is never wound - but will chime at random times of the day. The mansion has experienced items being moved, doors closing and opening on their own, and even sounds of footsteps when no one is around. Is Sherman Phelps still here watching over his beloved home on Court St.? Or can these strange occurrences be explained in some other way...

Visitors to the Phelps Mansion can take a haunted tour of the building and hear from docents on many of the stories of haunted happening’s that have occurred - and still do today.  Learn about the history of the family and the story behind the mansion, all while taking an hour-long tour of one of Binghamton’s most historic homes. Tours are available by reservation only during regular museum tour days and times by calling 607-722-4873 or booking at www.phelpsmansion.org.

For a guided ghost hunting experience, the Phelps Mansion has partnered with Empirical Paranormal to conduct public ghost hunting events. These sessions occur after museum hours and are based on museum availability. These investigations are held at different times throughout the year. If you would like to schedule a private investigation with the team please, call 607-722-4873 and press option 2.

If your paranormal team would like to investigate the mansion (a 3-hour experience), we request a minimum of 10 people at $40 per person. These tours must be scheduled within 2 weeks of the desired date and are subject to the museums schedule of other events.
