Volo Museum’s New Paranormal Walking Tour

There’s something strange in our neighborhood… We have a Ghostbusters vehicle, but no Ghostbusters, so we need your help!

Our 2026 Paranormal Walking Tour begins aboard our beautiful Volo Museum trolley, where a professional actor will serve as your guide and introduce you to decades of reported paranormal activity throughout the property.

Then, cross the road and step inside the historic Volo Cemetery, an area never before included in a public Volo Museum tour. Your guide will introduce you to some of the cemetery’s most notable figures and reveal their possible connections to the unexplained activity reported throughout the museum grounds.

From there, you’ll enter our new paranormal investigation room inside of our 177 year old barn to look through our evidence. Watch chilling video accounts, examine real photographs, and discover why paranormal investigators and television programs, including Discovery Channel’s Ghost Lab, have been drawn to Volo Museum.

The experience continues inside the historic Antique and Collectibles Mall as your guide leads you through the property’s most active paranormal “hotspots.” You’ll hear eyewitness accounts, explore case files, and examine video, photographic, and television evidence associated with each location. We encourage you to bring your own paranormal equipment or apps to enhance the experience.

Once the guided portion concludes, the investigation is in your hands. Guests are invited to revisit the hotspots, use their own paranormal investigation equipment or techniques, and explore at their own pace until the museum closes at 5 p.m. You will need a mobile device as the clues will be QR codes throughout the Antique Mall. Will you experience something that can’t be explained?
