The Spy House

Background:
The Whitlock-Seabrook House was built in the 1600s. It received it's popular name, the Spy House, during the Revolution. The colonials would watch the British enter the inn, and when their ships were unmanned in the harbor, sneak on board and torch them.
But the ghosts go back farther than the Revolution! The house had been owned by pirates, who would smuggle treasure into the house via tunnels at the beach. The house has served duty as an inn, private home, bordello and museum. Today however, the house is closed.
The Spy House is said to be one of, if not the most, haunted building in the United States. They estimate over 30 spirits roam it's halls, including:
Tom - believed to be Tom Whitlock, the original owner of the home. He is known for following people back to their homes (so don't ask him).
Abigail - the most often seen spirit, she is dressed all in black with a red blouse, usually sobbing, staring out to sea, waiting for her sea captain husband to return home.
Peter - a boy from the 1800s who likes to play with buttons on cameras and such, he'll persist until he's acknowledged.
Reverend Wilson - he's seen conducting a funeral service with a Bible in hand.
The pirate captain - probably searching for the remains of his treasure.

Directions:
The Spy House is located in Bayshore Waterfront Park, 119 Port Monmouth Road, in Port Monmouth. Take Route 36 and follow the brown signs for the park.

Difficulty:
This box should take about 15 minutes to find across even terrain.

Clues:
From the back door of the main house, head down the mowed path at 93 degrees. Continue on this path until you see a bush that is not native to this area, then a large cement stone. From that stone, take 16 paces at 166 degrees to another cement stone, which hides the box underneath.
