Haunted by History presents: "Return of the Historic (Haunted) Harris House"
Craig Owens, author of Haunted by History Vol. 1, will once again lead paranormal investigations at the Historic Harris House on September 6 and 7 from 8:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.
$75/person. Those who purchase a $75 ticket will receive a copy of his book, HAUNTED BY HISTORY: SEPARATING THE FACTS AND LEGENDS OF EIGHT HISTORIC HOTELS AND INNS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA (valued at $50) as part of their admission.
The Historic Harris House is a two-story Victorian Transitional home dating back to 1902. Four of its five owners were widows. Today, the structure is a private residence and frequent filming location.
Last March, Owens (one of the most respected researchers in Southern California) held the first ever paranormal tour of the Harris House after he completed historic research on the property. Some of the attendees at that event recorded EVPs while others claimed to have seen a smoky blue mist.
Now is your chance to see the inside of this historic house, learn a few effective ghost hunting techniques and investigate the house for yourself. Ghost hunting equipment will be provided.
Space is limited.
NO REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES. No tickets will be sold at the event.
21 and over.
A portion of the proceeds will go toward the upkeep and maintenance of the Harris House.
