Does Aaron Burr’s Ghost Haunt the Earth?
Was Aaron Burr Jr. destined to haunt the living after his controversial life — and deadly duel with Alexander Hamilton? In this episode of Ghostly, we explore the ghost stories surrounding the former Vice President, from eerie encounters on Princeton’s campus to reports of a restless spirit at One if by Land, Two if by Sea in New York City. Is Burr doomed to wander old haunts like the site of his infamous duel? Join Pat and Rebecca as they debate the evidence and try to uncover the truth behind one of America’s most infamous figures.
Questions Discussed in this Episode
Who was Aaron Burr? What was his early life like? How was he connected to Alexander Hamilton? What happened to ruin his political career? How was he connected to the American Revolution?
