The Ghosts of Joseph Bonaparte: America's Forgotten King

Episode 57: Who knew the King of Spain once lived in Pennsylvania? In this episode, Slice of the Paranormal investigates the haunted history of Joseph Bonaparte, brother of Napoleon, and his ghostly legacy across Pennsylvania and New Jersey. We begin at the Bonaparte House in Philadelphia, where the spirit of Chloris Ingleby is said to linger. Some say she was shot and died on the property—others believe she escaped and still wanders, searching for the man she loved. Next, we travel to Point Breeze in Bordentown, New Jersey, where Joseph Bonaparte built his grand mansion and allegedly came face to face with the Jersey Devil itself. Finally, we wrap up our journey at the Old Town Pub, a haunt in every sense of the word, where we share a slice of pizza and a toast to the spirits of the past. Join us as we explore the royal ghost stories, Revolutionary whispers, and supernatural legends tied to America's exiled King of Spain. Sources: Philadelphia Ghost Stories by Charles J.
