Zoh’s going to get ghosted.
Outgoing woo-woo-loving Mayor Eric Adams spookily warned successor Zohran Mamdani that his soon-to-be new home of Gracie Mansion is haunted.
“Beware of the ghost,” Adams joked during a Tuesday visit to Washington, DC, a Fox Business reporter posted on X.
“It’s a friendly ghost, as long as you’re doing right by the city,” he said. “If you don’t become right by the city, he turns into a poltergeist.”
Adams has repeatedly proclaimed that the 226-year-old mayoral residence is also real-life Haunted Mansion — but his latest campfire tale also let him indulge in his growing habit of giving Mamdani boos by shading the socialist’s plans.
Representatives for Mamdani, who announced this week he’ll be moving into Gracie Mansion after he takes office next month, didn’t respond to Adams’ spectral jibe.
The one-sided ghost adventure came a week after Adams and Mamdani met face-to-face to discuss the ongoing mayoral transition.
The sitdown foreshadowed the end of Adams’ four-year tenure as the Big Apple’s mayor — and time communing with Gracie Mansion’s restless spirits.
“I don’t care what anyone says, there are ghosts in there, man,” Hizzoner told Yankees announcers Michael Kay and Cameron Maybin in 2022, a few months after he moved into the Upper East Side abode.
Adams didn’t back down on his ghostly beliefs a year later, insisting it’d be a grave error to ignore the mansion’s history and “energy.”
The house, located in Carl Schurz Park in Yorkville, has seen at least two deaths.
Elizabeth Wolcott Gracie, the daughter-in-law of the shipping merchant who built the mansion, succumbed to apoplexy in 1819.
And Susan Wagner — the wife of former Mayor Robert Wagner — died in the mansionduring 1964 after a battle with lung cancer.
“You hear squeaks … You hear a door close,” Adams told CBS New York in 2023. “You hear, there are different sounds you hear inside the building as I walk around at night, you can hear them.”
The spooky atmosphere of creaking doors and phantom sounds at Gracie Mansion was also attested by former first lady Chirlane McCray, who shared her experiences during a 2017 Halloween interview.
But McCray’s husband — and post-mayoral ladies man Bill de Blasio — didn’t channel the same astral vibe.
Safe to say, any mayor-to-mayor chats with Fiorello LaGuardia’s ghost only happened in “Ghostbusters II.”
“During my eight years at Gracie Mansion, I absolutely positively never heard or saw any ghosts,” de Blasio told The Post Wednesday.
