Reviews of Selma Mansion
"A wonderful look at the history of the area. Open to Paranormal Investigations, which if you are ever interested in doing one, this is a great place to go."
"We, DirtyJerseyGhostHunters.com had an awesome time investigating the Mansion. We found out by looking at the photos on the piano, that Col. Andrew Porter who lived there with his wife and 4 sons, Andrew was the Great Grandfather of Mary Todd Lincoln, the wife of President Abraham Lincoln. We would like to go back sometime in the future to do another investigation. Thank you- dirtyjerseyghosthunters.com"
"Went to the psychic festival with a few friends which was interesting but not really my cup of tea. Cost to get in was $10 to walk around this mansion and check out some vendors who were inside selling their items. There were also psychic readings going on for additional cost which I had no interest in. The house itself is creepy cool though. It would be beautiful if it were renovated but the old look is what gave it that creepy cool nostalgia. One of the rooms on the third floor had a bunch of old dolls placed on the floor or on chairs which I found to be interesting. It was busy inside and not a lot of room to move around, many of these people were not wearing masks. In the times of a highly contagious sickness, you'd think people would be a little more diligent. I don't often venture out in public to begin with so if I end up with Covid, I'm willing to bet it'll be from this event. In all, I enjoyed the visit with my primary interest being the mansion itself but having to pay $10 to walk into a crowded mansion just to look around, I likely won't be returning. I just hope the money goes to a good cause."
"Attended a very nice venue to sell and talk to people about our book. One hint: come early as parking is on street. Old historic mansion from the 1700's that they are trying to renovate... Really cool"
