Sounds coming from empty rooms. Fleeting glimpses that made someone turn around. Experiences shared by staff\, volunteers\, visitors\, and others who have spent time within these walls and walked away with questions they still can’t answer. \nOn Thursday\, October 22\, you’ll have the chance to hear them. \nCROOK HOUSE AFTER DARK returns. \nJamie Nestroyl of Midwest Paranormal History Tours will lead guests through the Crook House after hours\, combining the documented history of the home with firsthand accounts of the strange\, unsettling\, and unexplained. \nThis is not a ghost hunt. \nNo investigating. No trying to summon anything. No promises of what you will or won’t experience. \nJust an old house. \nNearly 150 years of history. \nAnd stories from people who are quite certain something happened here. \nNow imagine hearing those stories while standing in the very rooms where they occurred… on an October night\, after the museum has closed and the house has gone quiet.  \n🎟️ TICKETS GO ON SALE MONDAY\, SEPTEMBER 21 \n🌙 Thursday\, October 22🏛️ Crook House Museum⏳ 90 minute after hours experience🎟️ $30 per person + tax⚠️ Extremely limited capacity \nThe Crook House has been here since 1879. \nWe can explain its history. \nSome of what has happened inside it? \nWe’ll let you decide.  \n\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Buy Tickets
