Expect the unexpected when Craig McManus come to Cape May.

The John F. Craig House is one of three Cape May Inns participating in this fascinating weekend with Craig. Friday evening, April 9, enjoy a meet and greet with Craig at our Cape May bed and breakfast. Saturday afternoon there will be a tour of all three participating bed and breakfasts Cape May. Then have dinner with Craig at the Mad Batter Saturday evening, followed by a channeling session.

Craig has often facilitated encounters between the living and their loved ones here in Cape May. He can’t make guarantees, of course, but he has successfully brought people into contact with each other more than once.

If you are curious about ghosts, spiritual energy, and reconnecting with lost loved ones, come to Cape May April 9 and 10, 2010.

Join us for a weekend with Craig McManus

You’ll be invited to partake in spirits at the nearby Virginia Hotel on Friday evening, before an evening of spirits at Cold Spring Village. Craig will chat with guests over a tasty breakfast Saturday morning, and be available at tea time later in the day as well. He is open to communicating with your departed relatives, although he cannot make guarantees.

Should the weather cooperate, Craig will lead a tour of Cape May Saturday afternoon; he’ll point out some of his favorite haunts and provide a bit of interesting paranormal background.

The real fun will begin Saturday at 9 pm, with a seance in the parlor of our b&b Cape May. Expect the unexpected.

We never know what Craig will experience when he is here, or what he will uncover for our guests. But we do know that a weekend with Craig McManus is always fascinating and fun.

When the sun goes down, the ghouls come out in Cape May on Halloween

You haven’t really experienced Halloween unless you’ve experienced it here, in Cape May NJ. Though the day of the dead is still several weeks away, the town is already becoming ghoulishly decked out. Even while the Victorian Festival is in full swing, as it is now, we are gearing up for parades, enjoying each others’ creativity, and generally having a frightfully good time here at our Cape May bed and breakfast.

So, how can you join in the fun? Halloween Happenings will be in full swing October 16 through the 31st. There is so much to do during this time that you can’t help but have fun and get into a spooky mood. There are several opportunities to learn about – or experience – the ghosts of the 1879 Emlen Physick Estate, said to be Cape May’s original haunted house. Psychic Medium Craig McManus will reveal some of the mansion’s secrets during evening talks. Other events at the estate will include interesting facts about Victorian spiritualism.

Not even trolley rides are safe at this time of year. Craig Mcmanus will ride through the gas-lit streets of our town while revealing some of the secrets and spirits of Cape May during A Ride with the Ghostwriter. The Tales of Terror Trolley Ride will send chills up your spine and cause the hair on your neck to prickle. Also fun is the Light on the Ghosts of the Lighthouse Trolley Tour, full of good ghost tales.

If you enjoy suspense and intrigue, check out the Murder Mystery Dinners. You’ll enjoy a delicious four-course meal during this interactive experience with the “Not Quite Ready for Victorian Times” Players. That is, if you can eat in the company of such suspicious folk!

While it is true that many fun events take place during weekends, there is still plenty of frightfully good fun to be had during the week in Cape May. Check out our Midweek special if your schedule allows.

Come have a chat in the parlor of our Cape May B&B.

Ghosts. Do they exist or don’t they? We invite you to come to our Historic Cape May inn, sit in the parlor, sip on a beverage and chat for a while about that topic. A good time to have that chat is some time August 28 – 30. Craig McManus, longtime guest and friend to us here at the inn, will be here while in town for a book signing party of his latest book, 400 Years of the Ghosts of Cape May.

Craig is a fascinating man and a professional channel. We have had many discussions with him over the years about Cape May in general and the John F. Craig House in particular. He has many commitments while in town, including an event at the Emlen Physick Mansion on the 28th, but he always finds time to chat with us and our guests about what he does.

Cape May is celebrating its 400th anniversary this year. Its 400 years as a seaport resort have left many an interesting tale to tell, and Craig tells those tales very well; indeed, he considers Cape May to be the most haunted seaport town in the country. His first books, The Ghosts of Cape May, Book 1, 2 and 3, are great reads, and they also mentioned our Historic Cape May Inn more than once. Why is that? You’ll have to read the books or stay at the inn to find out. We hope you do both.
