Event Details
Scare up some chills and thrills at the Monteith House Museum's Trolley of Terror this October!
**VIP Paranormal Experience:**
Do you have nerves of steel and a thirst for the supernatural? If you're ready to take your ghostly adventure to the next level, the **VIP Paranormal Experience** is calling your name!
This exclusive experience is designed for those brave souls who aren’t content with just hearing ghost stories—they want to live them. In a small, intimate group, you'll step inside the notoriously haunted **Monteith House**, a place where the line between the living and the dead has always been blurred.
Over the course of 2 hours and 30 minutes, you’ll dive headfirst into a real paranormal investigation. Armed with an array of professional ghost-hunting equipment—EMF detectors, spirit boxes, infrared cameras, and more—you’ll have the chance to communicate with the spirits that still call Monteith House home. As you explore the dimly lit rooms, every shadow could be something more, every cold draft a brush with the unknown.
Your guides, seasoned in the art of paranormal investigation, will be by your side, offering tips and insights as you work together to uncover the secrets of this haunted house. Who knows what you might discover—a whisper in the dark, a fleeting apparition, or perhaps even an eerie message from beyond the grave?
This experience is not for the faint of heart and does not include a trolley ride. It's an evening of hands-on, spine-chilling excitement that you'll never forget—if you dare to face what lies in the shadows!
Restrictions:
Dress comfortably. It is recommend to wear warm clothes, because the heating system will be turned off during the investigation. Visitors are welcome to bring their own paranormal investigation equipment, but it's use will be at the discretion of the guide.
Be sure to check out our other Halloween experiences:
Ghost Walking Tour: (October 10 and 11) A guide will lead you through the nighttime streets of downtown Albany, Oregon and share ghost stories from several locations. Upon returning to the Monteith House, you will be invited inside the house to hear some of the more chilling ghostly tales that have been experienced within its walls. (approximately 1 hour)
Trolley of Terror: (October 3, 4, 17, and 18) Board the trolley to ride in style as a guide recounts terrifying tales of unexplainable encounters in the downtown Albany area of more than 20 locations. After the trolley tour, you will be invited inside the Monteith House to hear some of the more chilling ghostly tales that have been experienced within its walls. (approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes)
Carriage of Shadows: (October 24 and 25) Take a horse drawn carriage (headless horseman not included) around the downtown Albany area and hear some of the gruesome and inexplicable events of the towns' many historic locations. After the carriage tour, you will be invited inside the Monteith House for a candlelit tour of the oldest and most haunted home in Albany (approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes)
Each event is a fundraiser to help support Monteith Historical Society's mission to continue to preserve Albany's first frame house and its collection of pioneer artifacts, as well as provide educational opportunities for the public.
