Throughout October the Jackson Co. Historical Society and Paranormal Activity Investigators are hosting Ghost Tours and Investigations at the 1859 Jail Museum!

There will be three different types of events throughout the month that people can choose from:

TOURS: JCHS and Paranormal Activity Investigators will be leading guests on guided tours of the historical 1859 Jail Museum in Independence, Missouri. Guests will get to hear of the history and all the ghostly tales and apparitions inside the building! If you're looking for an investigation-style hunt, please see our other events in the month of October.

GHOST TOUR + MINI INVESTIGATION: JCHS and Paranormal Activity Investigators will lead guests on a 1-hour ghost tour through the incredibly haunted 1859 Jail Museum, sharing all the stories of the ghostly encounters and apparitions that lurk in the halls. Following the tour, Paranormal Activity Investigators will divide the guests into smaller groups and lead them on a mini ghost hunt to try and interact with the spirits of the building!

PARANORMAL INVESTIGATION: JCHS and Paranormal Activity Investigators will take guests on a quick guided history/ghost tour of the jail. Once the tour is complete, the lights will turn off and the ghost hunting will begin! Paranormal Activity Investigators will have their own paranormal equipment and show you what a paranormal investigation is really like! We will break guests up into smaller groups to investigate the Jail, schoolhouse, and the attached jailer's home and marshal's office! This event will be for over adults 18+ only and please remember that this is a museum filled with priceless artifacts so guests are expected to be respectful of the location. No food or drink will be permitted.

PIONEER TRAIL ADVENTURES: During the month JCHS is also partnering up with the Pioneer Trail Adventures. Take a wagon ride prior to your scheduled tour and learn about the haunted locations on Independence Square. Tickets are available on our Eventbrite as an add-on feature to your experience.
