Fox Valley Ghost Hunters
 
Tuesday, October 11th @ 6:00 p.m.

Leave the candy and costumes at home and come out for some real thrills this Halloween season!

The team's mission to help Wisconsin residents understand the paranormal activity in their homes and businesses has lead them to locations all over the state. From the Berlin Tannery, a haunt with at least a half dozen characters roaming the 75,000 square-foot building, to the Greenville Station near Appleton where an abusive spirit punched and poked some of the investigators, the captivating experiences of the Fox Valley Ghost Hunters provide endless chills in this thought-provoking presentation.
