The Ghost of Hetty Green’s Office: Hetty Green, the “Witch of Wall Street,” was a notoriously frugal 19th-century financier. At her former offices in New York, employees reported strange occurrences: cold drafts, flickering lights, and the sensation of being watched. Some claimed to see a stern, elderly woman in black scrutinizing balance sheets. Doors would slam, and papers were found rearranged. Though not violent, the presence evokes Green’s obsessive control over money and business. As one of the few female financial figures of her era, her ghostly persistence in the male-dominated world of finance adds a layer of historical irony and fascination to her spectral legacy.
