History of the Paranormal at War Memorial Building

The History of the Paranormal Exhibit, curated by Brian J. Cano (Paranormal Caught On Camera, Haunted Collector), arrives in Shepherdstown, WV at the War Memorial Building. Shepherdstown, as seen on Ghosts of Shepherdstown featuring Nick Groff and Elizabeth Saint, is well known for its paranormal activity resulting in the town's billing as most haunted in the U.S.!

Do you have questions about the paranormal? Do you watch the TV shows and wonder, "What's it really all about? Where do I begin?" Here's your chance to find out - look back to where we've been; look forward to where we're going. Immersive elements and interactive displays bring you up to speed on all things paranormal.

Come out to the Hunt to meet Brian and view the exhibit. The exhibit has hours (listed below) Friday through Sunday. All are welcome!

But that's not all! On Saturday night get ready to roll up your sleeves as we will be heading to nearby Shepherd's University for a four-hour ghost hunt. Surprises await as you hold the key to "unlock" certain areas for investigations. You won't want to miss out on this rare opportunity!

If you just want to come see the exhibit, select "EXHIBIT ONLY" at checkout, but for the most complete experience, choose the "SATURDAY NIGHT HUNT" option to have unlimited access to the exhibit, and the investigation!
