Paranormal Experience

During this two-hour tour you will get to see a different side of the Museum, one that most guests will never experience. For decades, paranormal investigators and Museum staff have experienced paranormal activity at the Museum such as floating orbs, shadow figures, voices, apparitions, and overwhelming emotions. On this tour, our expert Museum guides will lead you through both historic buildings, including their otherwise off-limits basement, to hear about the Museum’s history and investigate its paranormal activity for yourself with investigative tools such as EMF readers.

Your experience includes:

  • 2 hour guided paranormal investigation of both Museum buildings, including the basement of the historic Kellum Rotan Building

  • Paranormal investigation tools and flashlights provided

  • Glass bottle of Dr Pepper

  • Shop exclusive Paranormal Merch Pop-Up!
