The record
Cliveden, also known as the Benjamin Chew House, is a Georgian mansion at 6401 Germantown Avenue built between 1763 and 1767 for the colonial lawyer Benjamin Chew. During the Battle of Germantown in October 1777, British troops barricaded themselves inside the stone house and repelled Washington's assault, and the grounds saw some of the bloodiest fighting of the engagement — the walls still bear marks from the battle. The house remained in the Chew family for seven generations until 1972 and is now a National Historic Landmark and museum. Reported paranormal accounts — including long-repeated stories tied to former resident Samuel Chew Jr. — are part of the site's tour tradition and local lore, presented here as reported rather than documented fact.
