Fire museum to host paranormal demonstration Oct. 13
The Aurora Regional Fire Museum, 53 N. Broadway, Aurora, will celebrate Halloween early this year. On Friday, Oct. 13, from 8 to 11 p.m., the museum will host local paranormal group Ghost Head Soup. The paranormal group and museum will offer a presentation on paranormal investigations and spooky Aurora stories.
Ghost Head Soup will offer a presentation on paranormal investigation equipment. Participants may be able to handle and test several of the instruments. Learn the history of the 1894 Old Central Station, where the museum is housed, as well as other local spooky and supernatural Aurora stories. Ghost Head Soup will lead participants throughout the museum and test out the equipment in an investigation demonstration.
Ghost Head Soup has given countless presentations, demonstration investigations, and true investigations throughout the Chicago and northern Illinois area. Some of their notable cases include Bachelor's Grove Cemetery in Midlothian, Illinois, and the Swiss Tinker Cottage Museum and Gardens in Rockford. This is the group's first time doing an event in a historic firehouse.
"An event like this is fun and celebrates the spirit of the season. I t allows new audiences to come explore the museum and local Aurora history. Getting the community to think outside of the box when it comes to local history can foster new relationships with the community and organizations," said Museum Assistant Cayla Wagner, who has designed the program.
Tickets to the event are $25 for members and $30 for members.
