The paranormal account associated with Lincoln Memorial Cemetery in Mays Landing is brief and sourced from a single informal report: a Halloween evening visit during which the witness and a companion — described as a well-known medium who wished to remain unnamed — observed what they described as orbs and ectoplasm.
No historical event — no named individual, no documented tragedy, no architectural history tied to the site — has been independently verified in connection with this location. The single account provides no detail about the nature or behavior of the reported phenomena beyond their presence.
This is a functioning burial ground, not an attraction. The paranormal attribution rests entirely on the one Halloween account.

Berry's Chapel originated as a Methodist house of worship built by John Berry in the Civil War era, serving an African-American community in the New Jersey pine woods. The chapel was abandoned in 1923 following the establishment of a replacement church, Haven M.E. Church, on Route 49. The original structure burned down, leaving only the cemetery as a remnant of the historic African-American settlement.
