Haunted History to come alive in historical society event

The Bartholomew County Historical Society is planning a spooky downtown tour the day after Halloween.

The society will be holding “Haunted History: Downtown’s Paranormal Past,” a self guided tour of seven downtown locations. It will combine features of the Talking Tombstones of previous years with the Open Door Tour, organizers say.

Actors will portray historical figures, giving stories from their lives and the locations where they once lived. Paranormal expert Matthew Jackson will share experiences he has had at various downtown locations with presentations at The Crump Theatre. And Paul Hoffman, author of Wicked Columbus, will be speaking at Viewpoint Books: Chapter Two location.

The event will be going on from 5 to 9 p.m. on Friday Nov. 1st. Tickets are $20/person in advance or $25/person day of event. Children 16 and under must be accompanied by an adult and will also require a ticket.

All proceeds benefit the Bartholomew County Historical Society. You can get tickets by calling 812-372- 3541 or stopping by the historical society museum on Third Street.
