The “Ghosts in the Museums” Tours
Featuring Haunted Harmon Hall & Ghoulish Glendower
October 15, 16, 22, 23, 29, 30
Harmon Hall at the Warren County History Center, 105 S. Broadway
& Glendower Mansion, 105 Cincinnati Avenue, Lebanon, OH
The staff of the Warren County Historical Society and the Spiritual H.O.P.E. Society paranormal team are partnering in a ghoulish venture they like to call the “Ghosts in the Museums” investigations/tours.
Investigations/tours will be hosted at Glendower historic mansion Friday nights. Investigations/tours are also available at Harmon Hall Saturday nights. Harmon Hall is the main building that houses the Warren County History Center and its vast collection of Warren County artifacts and memorabilia.
Over the years, staff and volunteers at both the historic properties have reported sightings of historic figures and other ghostly happenings in both Glendower and Harmon Hall. After several paranormal investigations by two different paranormal organizations turned up many of the same phenomena, the staff decided to share their findings with the public.
Guests will get the opportunity to work with the very sophisticated equipment used by the Spiritual H.O.P.E. Society staff and conduct a real life paranormal investigation. Museum staff provides history and insight to past experiences.
The investigation/tour begins at 7 p.m. sharp and is limited to 12 guests. Reservations, at $45 per person, must be made in advance. You must be 12 or older to take the tour. Call 513-932-1817 for reservations. MasterCard, Visa and Discover are accepted.
