- Do Look for Strange Happenings: There is a lot of talk about the NYC Merchants House Museum containing a lot of active paranormal activity. Be on the look out for strange movements or events out of the ordinary while touring the place.
- Don't Expect to See Ghosts: As with many paranormal hotspots, don't expect ghosts to jump out in front of you if that is your main reason for coming to the NYC Merchants House Museum. Sometimes it will just be a regular museum tour, so come first for the museum with the chance that you may see paranormal activity.
- Don't Miss Museum Plays: The NYC Merchants House Museum hosts events and plays throughout the year, and sometimes has special events depending on what month it is. We especially recommend checking out this New York landmark durnig October for the candlelit ghost tour.
