What makes the Lost Villages Museum a great place to investigate?
- The site contains 10 different heritage buildings that have been preserved and relocated from "lost villages" across Eastern Ontario.
- The location is eerily perfect for a night of supernatural fun in the country! Located in the small village of Long Sault, Ontario on a fairly isolated piece of property, it will be dark, quiet....and really spooky!
- The investigation will take place in 4 different buildings: the Trappers Cabin, the School House, the Church and the Mason's Lodge. These locations have reports of strange shadows, moving objects, phantom voices and the sound of footsteps from empty rooms. The spirit of a young girl has also been seen wandering the property.
- With a max of 6 investigators per departure time, it will be the ultimate small group experience with lots of thrills.
- Part of the proceeds from every ticket sold go to the preservation and restoration of this incredible site.
