This Halloween season, the Railroaders Memorial Museum transforms into the ultimate haunted hunting ground. The GhostTracers, the area’s top team of Supernatural investigators, are opening their ranks—but beware, their last member vanished inside this very museum one year ago to the night, while researching the chilling story of the Walter L. Main Circus train wreck.

On October 25th, you’ll have the chance to join the GhostTracers tryouts. Together, we’ll search the Museum’s shadowy halls to uncover the truth—and perhaps even the ghost—of our missing teammate. Will other Supernatural beings from the circus be present? Will you prove yourself worthy, or will the fear of the unknown drive you away into the night?

✨ Special Attraction: Ruby, the legendary Supernatural Impala tribute car, will be on-site for photos. Don’t miss your chance to pose with this iconic ride!

🎟️ Tickets:
$15 per Adult
$10 per Child (12 & under)

Spots are limited, and tours will sell out fast. Secure your place now and test your courage—because once the circus gates close, there’s no turning back…

👉 Purchase your tickets today at https://railroadcity.org/events and prepare for a night of frights, history, and the supernatural!
