Haunted Museum

Details

This Halloween enter the Haunted Museum, if you dare!

Curses! A clumsy curator tripped over their shoelace in the archives, breaking an old pottery container and unwittingly setting loose demons throughout the galleries. Help round them up with with our team of professional demon-hunters.

Professor Colin. O. F. Finn, world-renowned Egyptologist, thought to be living in a home for retired profesors, in fact escaped the dusty storeroom he'd been trapped in for 20 years this morning. Driven mad by his confiment, and surviving only on spiders and rainwater, he insists it's 2005 and is determind to deliver the Mummification Demonstration he had been preparing the morning he dissapeared...

The mysterious bard, who cannot be named, has travelled far from North Chicago and sought shelter in the rotten receses of the Research Archives. He will regale you with frighful tales of all things that go bump in the night, if you are brave enough to enter!
