West Hill Manor in Burlington, New Jersey, is a historic treasure—one built between 1797 and 1799 in rare Federal style. But this stately home is more than a museum of early American architecture—it’s a place where history refuses to stay silent.

Psychic medium and paranormal investigator Beth O’Brien joins us on The Grave Talks to share what she’s experienced while volunteering at West Hill. A passionate advocate for its preservation, Beth has seen and felt things most visitors never do—things that suggest the spirits of West Hill are still very much present.

Within its walls, the cries of Susanna Emlen may still linger. She underwent one of the earliest known breast cancer surgeries in the United States—performed without anesthesia—and survived. Many believe she never truly left the room where it happened.

Then there’s Eliza Gurney, the manor’s second owner, whose deep friendship with President Abraham Lincoln left such an impression that one of her letters was allegedly found in his coat the night of his assassination.

But beyond the historical intrigue, modern paranormal reports make it clear—West Hill is more than a relic. Disembodied voices, phantom footsteps, unexplained touches, and even the sound of gunfire echo through the halls, suggesting something unseen remains active within.

Beth O’Brien takes us deep inside the spiritual heartbeat of the house—and why it continues to mystify everyone who steps inside.
