On Saturday, September 20 we will be hosting a benefit to help restore the roof of our amazing Octagon House. As supporters of the museum, you know that our homes are always in need of restoration, and currently the Octagon roof is our number one priority due to its condition. One of the many questions that museum visitors want answered is if the homes like the Octagon House are haunted. Our answer: come find out for yourself at this event!
We will have professional ghost hunters like BC Smith from Twilight Disturbances, Tammie Chavez from Hollyweird Paranormal and Micah Cover a magician from the Magic Castle, along with our museum team to see if we can make contact with the museum spirts! The Octagon, Perry, Hale, Shaw and Ford homes will be open for tours and select ghost hunting/stories.
The spooky fun will start at 6:30pm at the museum and we will have food and drink for attendees. This includes cocktails and mocktails from Barmaid Beauties and culinary creations by Edwin’s Continental Catering & Rentals. Tickets will be $125 per person but if you are museum member you will receive a 10% discount! If you’re not a member, you can join today by visiting our membership page. Tickets will go on sale on Wednesday, August 20 on our events page.
VIP Package #1 – Price: $175 per person. Package includes early entry to event (5:30pm), swag bag, unlimited drinks (unlimited non-alcoholic drinks, two-drink maximum for alcoholic beverages), and private upstairs tour of select homes. (75 tickets available for this package).
VIP Package #2 – Price: $200. Includes all benefits of VIP Package #1 and the PHASMAGORICA experience (27 tickets available for this package).
The VIP packages are very limited and they offer you a more intimate experience – If you dare! As for PHASMAGORICA, it is a unique, experiential paranormal encounter — a séance reimagined as art. Built from sacred geometry, occult methodology, immersive light phenomena, and 13 speakers of Dolby Atmos sound, it is a fully-contained, tactile installation designed to provoke contact. Each session will guide guests through a series of experiments and rituals: spirit communication through arcane instruments and trigger objects, fortune-telling, and psychological thresholds. No two encounters are the same. PHASMAGORICA is not a performance. There are no actors. It is a living experiment — a curated space between the seen and the unseen. A room that listens back. For those brave souls who choose this VIP package, you will have an experience that you won’t soon forget!
Again, this event will be unlike any other we have held and we want YOU to be part of it!
And remember, your ticket purchase will help with the roof restoration of the Octagon roof! We hope to see you at our spectacular spookfest!
Happy Haunting!
