An opportunity to take a tour of a haunted library or participate in a paranormal investigation will be offered next weekend in St. Joseph.

The St. Joseph Museum is offering an opportunity to “Spend the Night at the Museum.” The annual event gives guests 18 and older the opportunity to stay overnight at the Glore Psychiatric Museum. St. Joseph Museums Public Relations Officer Kathy Reno said there are 10 spaces left for the event.

“You can come anywhere from 3 to 5 in the afternoon, we’ll do a tour, we’ll have dinner, A.P.E.X. Paranormal will lead you on a professional paranormal investigation, you bring your sleeping bag, your air mattress, decide where you want to sleep, if you want to sleep, have breakfast in the morning,” Reno said. “Everybody who has ever done it says it’s a once-in-a-lifetime (experience), it’s amazing.”

“Spend the Night at the Museum” takes place Saturday, October 6th. The cost is $125 per person, which includes the guided tour, dinner, movie, snacks, paranormal investigation, the overnight stay and breakfast.  Paid reservations are required.

Also next weekend, the Downtown Library is putting on a Haunted Library tour. According to Crystal Stuck with the library, the tour is not for the faint of heart.

“It’s scary. It’s got some gore, it’s got some jump scares. It is a guided tour, so if you’ve ever wanted to see the Downtown Library at night, lights off and go through all the areas, including staff areas, then you don’t want to miss it, because it’s really the only opportunity to do something like that at the Downtown Library,” Stuck said. “And the Downtown Library is known to actually be haunted.”

Tours will take place from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 6th. Admission is $5. To see the full interview with Crystal Stuck about the Haunted Library, click here.
