Paranormal Investigation of the Mascoutah Heritage Museum

This historic building was built in 1859. It has been transformed throughout the years to meet the needs of the community culminating in it being given to the Mascoutah Historical Society in 2003. Since then, the Museum has been the site of many community events. The Museum was first investigated in October 2024 and now something else seems to be happening in the historic building that’s not on the event calendar. Is it haunted? Let’s find out!

You are invited to join members of the Museum staff and the Gateway Regional Investigations of the Paranormal (GRIP) to conduct a paranormal investigation of the over 170 year old building. GRIP members have conducted paranormal investigations at numerous St. Louis and Metro East locations to include the Stifel Theater, Fox Theater and the Sheldon Concert Hall. You will have the opportunity to join in with the GRIP team as they conduct investigations and spirit communication sessions in the three darkened floors of the Museum to include the Moll Funeral Home display. Or, you can investigate those areas on your own with a GRIP team member.

To help document your experiences, GRIP will offer the use of paranormal investigation equipment (infrared cameras, K2 meters, dowsing rods, temperature monitors) and a short tutorial on how to use them. You can also use your own equipment, cell phones and cameras!
