This spring, embark on a historical journey through downtown Palmerton, Pennsylvania, with paranormal researcher Laurissa Rex, co-creator of the series "24 Hours in Hell: A Paranormal Journey Through Hell House." Over four years of paranormal investigations in Palmerton and its neighboring areas, Laurissa and her team, the Palmerton Area Research Alliance (PARA), have discovered compelling evidence of hauntings tied to our vibrant Palmerton heritage.
After nearly three years without historical insights into the Waldorf Estate of Fear Haunted Attraction, a chance meeting with a direct descendant of the hotel's original owner allowed Laurissa to connect history with evidence for the first time, affirming the presence of spirits at the site. Through her research, Laurissa uncovered connections to the town's founding, Bethlehem Steel, the Gnadenhutten Massacre of 1755, the Haunted Jail in Jim Thorpe, and many other historical events that have influenced not just Palmerton and Pennsylvania, but the entire United States. These events and many more are discussed at length in her upcoming book, The Waldorf Effect: A Paranormal Research Theory.
Starting in April, join Laurissa and members of PARA for a guided ghost walk through town, where she will share local history and tales of hauntings straight from her new book; tales both legendary and substantiated. The experience will conclude in the town square, where participants will engage in a mini-investigation using tools provided as part of their ticket. Additionally, your ticket includes a link to the evidence collected during the event, allowing you to review it at your convenience.
Your ticket includes:
- A Paranormal Equiptment Bundle
- Souvenir footage of your tour
- Tour of Palmerton including history
***ALL INFORMATION REGARDING TOURS WILL BE SENT TO TICKET HOLDERS 1 DAY PRIOR TO THE EVENT.
***ALL TOURS LAST APPROXIMATELY 2 HOURS. PLEASE WEAR COMFORTABLE WALKING SHOES.
This Spring, immerse yourself in the beauty of the season while enjoying wine among the vines at Valerie Hill Vineyard, hosted by your ghostly guides at PARA! The Palmerton Area Research Alliance is thrilled to return to this historic Civil War-era hospital and Victorian estate for an exhilarating spring adventure. Join us for an evening investigation of the haunted grounds, all while savoring delicious drinks and tempting appetizers.
