Summary

In January 2026, the JUMPS Team had the honor of being invited inside the historic Cape Island Masonic Temple Lodge in Cape May, New Jersey for a private paranormal investigation.  


With exclusive access to this sacred and symbolic location, the JUMPS Team set out to uncover what may still linger within its walls.  


Through direct communication sessions, real-time spirit responses, and intense investigative moments, our team experienced something truly extraordinary. Could the vows taken when one becomes a Mason continue even after passing? Did the spirits within the lodge confirm a bond that transcends life itself?  


With entities making their presence known and physical evidence unfolding before our eyes, this investigation stands as one of our most fascinating and emotional cases to date.  You do NOT want to miss the incredible evidence and unforgettable moments captured in this episode of the JUMPS investigation of the Cape Island Masonic Temple.

Investigation Findings

Video

  •  During our initial walkthrough of the Temple, Mason Joe Coco demonstrates how the Worshipful Master brings meetings to order with the gavel. Moments after striking the stone, an unexplained anomaly is captured moving from the stone toward Investigator Mellie. 
    • VIDEO 1: Temple Anomaly Capture


  • During the first sweep of the investigation inside the Temple, the SLS camera captures an entity sitting in one of the chairs. As Mason Joe Coco approaches the entity, it is viewed through the SLS monitor that the figure is then seen standing up and appearing to give Joe a hug. 
    • VIDEO 2: Entity Hugging Joe


  • During Investigator Jocelyn’s Estes Method session inside the Temple, a disembodied female moan was heard by Investigators Doug and Robert, along with Mason Joe. The sound was faintly captured on camera.
    • VIDEO 3: Female Moan


  •  While observing the Spirit Portal inside the Temple, a disembodied voice comes through the device saying “Meeting,” followed immediately by the sound of a gavel. A chilling moment that connects directly to the building’s historic purpose. 
    • VIDEO 4: 'Spirit Portal' - "MEETING!"

Audio

  • AUDIO 1: Female voice captured prior to the start of Investigator Jocelyn's Estes Method


  • AUDIO 2: Voice captured prior to the start of the Estes Method - "Come here" or "Over there"


  • AUDIO 3: Again, prior to the start of the ESTES Method, 2 whispers were captured on the audio recorder


  • AUDIO 4: A fourth voice was recorded prior to the Estes Method - "Here ya go"


  • AUDIO 5: During Investigator Jocelyn's Estes Method, an EVP was captured saying "Ethyl" which was then repeated by Jocelyn.


  • AUDIO 6: During Investigator Jocelyn's Estes Method, an EVP was captured saying "Silence" which was then repeated by Jocelyn


  • AUDIO 7: During Jocelyn's Estes Method, an EVP saying "Don't Touch It" was recorded which was followed by Mason Joe feeling cold.


  • AUDIO 8: During Jocelyn's Estes Method, an EVP was recorded saying "Say Something" which was repeated multiple time throughout the investigation


  • AUDIO 9: During Jocelyn's Estes Method, an EVP saying "Forfeit" was recorded which was then repeated by Jocelyn.


  • AUDIO 10: During Jocelyn's Estes Method, an EVP was recorded - "Is it worth doing?"


  • AUDIO 11: During Jocelyn's Estes Method, two EVP's were recording saying, "Daughter" and "She's drawing." What adds validity to this is that Mason Joe's daughter was present in the Temple drawing an image on a notepad.

Conclusion

 Our investigation at the Cape Island Masonic Temple proved to be an experience rooted deeply in personal encounters, meaningful moments, and compelling physical evidence. Throughout the night, we documented activity that not only supports the long-standing claims of paranormal presence within the lodge, but also reflects the sacred traditions and values of Freemasonry.


From intelligent responses and emotional experiences to recorded audio and unexplained phenomena, the evidence suggests that the bonds and vows taken by the Brotherhood may continue beyond this life. The consistency of these moments reinforces the idea that this space remains protected, respected, and spiritually significant.


We are truly grateful to the Cape Island Masonic Temple for welcoming us and trusting our team with such a meaningful investigation. It was an absolute honor to walk these halls, learn the history, and document the energy that remains. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to experience and share something so powerful and deeply personal.
