When I went to
New Mexico, I couldn’t get the thoughts of paranormal activities out of my head.
In all fairness, the area is filled with all types of reminders – from museums to signs, to stores. I’ve never been a believer, – quite honestly – but I still found in fascinating to look around an honest-to-goodness “UFO” store. You might not have the chance to go to New Mexico, but now you have a chance to check out paranormal activities right here in our own backyard (and right before Halloween, too).
Brentsville Courthouse Historic Center is partnering with
East Coast Research and Investigation of the Paranormal (ECRIP) to host four ghost seminars and investigations. Not only is there a seminar given at the start of the program, but also there’s a chance for participants to actually go inside the
Brentsville Jail, which is rarely open to the public, and investigate for unusual activities. If you’re a local, you might know that the Brentsville site has been studied for such activity. It was even featured on the
SyFy Network show “Ghost Hunters.”
The sessions are slated from 7 to 8:30 p.m. and the investigation is from 9 p.m. to 12 a.m. on Oct. 9,10, 30 and 31.
Reservations are required. Cost for both activities is $100 per person. Those that just want to attend the seminar can do so for a fee of $40. For more information contact 703-365-7895, or e-mail rorrison@pwcgov.org
Happy hunting!
