THE ORIGINIAL NATIONAL PARANORMAL HISTORY MUSEUM

Yes, we know that a quick search of the Internet will show that there are other “paranormal museums” out there. The difference is, this one is the fist to be dedicated exclusively to psychic phenomena, ghosts and hauntings. This is also the first of that type to have a real physical location. The National Paranormal History Museum is an educational experience for those into the paranormal and history buffs as well. Whether you are a would-be ghost hunter or a seasoned paranormal investigator, you will be impressed with your visit!

Visitors to the Paranormal History Museum area will be able to to see a chronological progress of the field of paranormal research from the Oracle of Delphi to the modern day “ghost hunting fad”. Interactive exhibits will be on hand for enthusiasts and curiosity seekers alike.

Remember, before there were the shows on television there were researchers like Loyd Auerbach, Troy Taylor, Dale Kaczmarek, J. B. Rhine, Peter Underwood and many others! Before we had EMF meters, paranormal investigators used talcum powder to look for invisible footprints and bowls of mercury to watch for minute vibrations.
