SHELDON CONCERT HALL

The Sheldon was built in 1912 as the home of the Ethical Society of St. Louis. Musicians, public speakers and the public throughout the years have enjoyed the perfect acoustics of The Sheldon Concert Hall, earning The Sheldon its reputation as "The Carnegie Hall of St. Louis”. But, something else seems to be happening in the historic building that’s not on the event calendar. Is it haunted? Let’s find out!

You are invited to join members of the Sheldon staff and the Gateway Regional Investigations of the Paranormal (GRIP) to conduct a paranormal investigation of the 112 year old Sheldon. You will have the opportunity to join in with the GRIP team as it conducts investigations and spirit communication sessions in the darkened recesses of the building to include the Concert Hall, Green Room, the third floor and its associated performers’ dressing rooms. Or, you can investigate those areas on your own with a GRIP team member.

To help document your experiences, GRIP will offer the use of paranormal investigation equipment (infrared cameras, K2 meters, dowsing rods, temperature monitors) and a short tutorial on how to use them. You can also use your own equipment, cell phones and cameras!

CORN COB PIPE

FACTORY

Missouri Meerschaum Company in Washington, Missouri, has been in business for 143 years. It was the first commercial producer of corn cob pipes and continues to produce pipes daily. The factory was built in 1883. 

Some say that a building or location will absorb the energy from events that have taken place there over time, both good and bad.  Given all of the historical and personal emotional events that have taken place in the factory over the past decades, it’s easy to understand why the factory staff says, “It’s as haunted as it is historic!” 

You will be led by knowledgeable members from the factory and GRIP team as you investigate the three darkened floors of the factory to try and validate past events or possibly discover new ones.  GRIP will provide guests with basic paranormal investigation equipment that will include infrared cameras, EMF meters, and temperature monitors to help document your experiences.

Bluff

Grange

The Bluff Grange in Millstadt, Illinois, was built in 1922. It is not your typical ‘haunted house’. Sometimes it’s the small, unassuming places that offer the out of the ordinary paranormal investigating experiences and opportunities. For decades, the Bluff Grange has served the Millstadt area and is known for hosting family events and being the home of the “Fencers of the Corn” fencing team. The Bluff Grange members will tell you that nothing “bad’ has happened in the building.

After several paranormal investigations by GRIP and the Bluff Grange members, the building acts as a “pass through” for the victims of local unmarked graves, tragic accidents and the curious drawn to the site to tell their stories to those who can hear them. New stories are discovered with every investigation. You will have the opportunity to join in with the GRIP team as it conducts investigations and tries to make spirit contact on each of the two darkened floors of the building. Or you can investigate on your own.

GRIP will offer guests the use of paranormal investigation equipment that will include infrared cameras, EMF meters, dowsing rods and temperature monitors to help document experiences. You can also use your own equipment!
