Ghost Hunters Alberta at East Coulee School Museum
Visit the haunted East Coulee School Museum this October to for two paranormal options. On October 21, Ghost Hunters Alberta is hosting a Paranormal Investigator Training Workshop where their lead investigator will guide and teach you all about searching for paranormal phenomenon, including the terms, equipment, theories, myths, and techniques of investigation. The next evening, October 22, is the second Paranormal Investigation opportunity. Choose to attend both or just one of these unique events. Fueled by the energy of years of students as well as the energy left by the many local area people who passed there when it was used as an auxiliary hospital for mine accidents, fires and a flu epidemic, the East Coulee School Museum is a perfect place to search for spooky sightings. Ghost Hunters Alberta has been investigating at this museum for over 7 years and has compiled a very comprehensive amount of evidence of the paranormal.
Paranormal Investigator Training Workshop – $220/person. Attendees must be 16+.
Paranormal Investigation – $130/person. Attendees must be 14+.
