The Event:
Sherlock Holmes & The Ghostly Fisherman
Venture into the fog-shrouded shores of Long Beach Island, New Jersey, where a ghostly mystery awaits the legendary detective, Sherlock Holmes. In Sherlock Holmes and the Ghostly Fisherman, Holmes and his trusted companion, Dr. John Watson, arrive to investigate a chilling enigma that has gripped the island community.
An apparition resembling a fisherman from the 1800s has been sighted haunting the quaint Fisherman's Cottage and the Long Beach Island Historical Museum. Witnesses claim the spectral figure roams the beaches, guarding artifacts from his earthly life with a spectral resolve that defies explanation. As the haunting intensifies, Holmes is called upon to unravel the truth behind these eerie encounters.
In this tale of spectral intrigue, Holmes must delve into the island's history, uncovering secrets hidden within the sands and shadows. Is this ghostly presence a cunning illusion, a tale woven to deceive, or does it truly rise from the depths to protect its treasures? With the Atlantic waves crashing upon the shore, Holmes navigates a labyrinth of human deceit and supernatural mystery.
Join us for an evening of suspense and deduction, where reality and the otherworldly blur. In Sherlock Holmes and the Ghostly Fisherman, the truth awaits those daring enough to seek it.

About the Fisherman's Cottage
The Fisherman's Cottage has been a labor of love for the museum for almost 15 years. From moving it to our property in 2009, to the renovations needed and completion in 2022. While the Cottage is open for supervised group tours, it needs a ADA compliant entrance for individuals to walk through it unattended. This undertaking will range in cost between $19,000 - $22,000. Your support will help make this dream of opening the Fisherman's Cottage to the public a reality!
