Today we found one of the Scariest houses in New Jersey.

Hancock House

Built in 1734, the Hancock House (www.state.nj.us) in Hancocks Bridge, New Jersey is an imposing brick structure that was the site of the 1778 Hancock's Bridge massacre. In the early morning of March 21, 1778, British army officer John Graves Simcoe led loyalist Queen's Rangers across Alloway Creek and into Hancock House, where they slaughtered as many as 40 members of the local Patriot militia. Legend has it that the men begged for their lives as they were bludgeoned and bayoneted death by loyalist soldiers that had been their friends and neighbors before the war. Ghosts of the slain Patriot soldiers are said to patrol the grounds of Hancock House and visitors report hearing spine-tingling screams and moans. Would you want to live there???

Hancock's Bridge is a census designated place and unincorporated community located within Lower Alloways Creek Township, in Salem County, New Jersey, United States.
