Thomas Budd House, circa 1744. The Budd House is the earliest known residence on its original site in Mount Holly. Thomas Budd was a plantation owner and is one of the incorporates of the Mount Holly Library. His son and grandson, Dr. Stacey Budd, both lived in the home. Dr. Budd added a third floor to the structure, but it was removed in 1927. The current resident and others witnesses all report ghost activity in this house.
The South Jersey Ghost Research, a local organization which investigates ghosts and hauntings in the Delaware Valley area visited this house on 12-8-01 and again in 2-16-02 and came away with some interesting pictures and documentation of spooky activity.
