Zak Bagans' The Haunted Museum features over 30 rooms full of paranormal exhibits located in a mansion dating to the 1930s that is rumoured to be haunted. Visitors can experience the thrills and chills of haunted dolls, haunted furniture, and the history of the paranormal, and if you're lucky (or unlucky), maybe even have a run-in with an actual spirit. 

The museum is curated and run by Zak Bagans, who has had a lifelong fascination with the unusual and today is a leading pioneer in paranormal research. Some of the exhibits here have inspired Hollywood horror films.

Highlights of Zak Bagans' The Haunted Museum

Zak Bagans' The Haunted Museum offers a first-class permanent collection of haunted artefacts, spread amongst more than 30 rooms twisting through secret passages and winding hallways and corridors. The experience rivals the best of Hollywood horror.

Artefacts include the famed Dybbuk Box that inspired the film "The Possession," Jack Kevorkian's "death van," and Michael Jackson's "Propofol Chair." The original staircase from the Indiana "Demon House" was moved here before the house's demolition. Besides the possessions, the museum itself is rife with stories of dark rituals, hauntings, and strange goings-on. The entire museum was featured on the Travel Channel's "Ghost Adventures."
