    New CastleUnited Statesc. 1738

    The Amstel House is a magnificent early 18th-century brick mansion located in the historic heart of New Castle, Delaware. Built around 1738 by Dr. John Finney, it served as a grand residence for prominent Delaware statesmen, including Governor Nicholas Van Dyke, who famously hosted George Washington at the wedding of his daughter in 1784. Aside from its rich political and architectural history, the house is renowned as one of Delaware's most famous haunted historic homes, haunted by the spirit of a mysterious 'Woman in Black' and playful spirits on its upper floors.

    The New Castle Court House, constructed in 1732 on the historic town green of New Castle, Delaware, is one of the oldest surviving judicial buildings in the United States and a centerpiece of the First State National Historical Park. Serving as Delaware's original colonial capitol, meeting place for the colonial assembly, and site of the 1776 separation from Great Britain and Pennsylvania, this historic landmark is equally famous for its ghost stories, featuring phantom judge gavels, shadowy colonial figures, and mysterious footsteps echoing through empty courtrooms.
