Calling all ghost hunters out there!

If you were obsessed with ‘X-Files’ or ever trick-or-treated as a ghostbuster or wished you were part of the Mystery Gang, then this even is for Y-O-U.

XAZ: Explore Arizona has partnered with the Phoenix Arizona Paranormal Society, aka PAPS, to take us on a supernatural investigation of the Pioneer Living History Museum.

When the sun goes down on Saturday, Oct. 8, and the spirits begin to roam, the pros lead us on journey through the 92 sprawling acres of the historic town with high hopes of a paranormal encounter.

There are many haunted locations to be explored on the property.

"In one house they saw a small boy in the window. In another one of the houses, a worker had all the doors closed on them while they were still in there. We know voices have been picked up in the jail. And word is that the old town where gun fights happen is also haunted," according to PAPS.

The good news is that we’ll feed you, too! Your ticket comes with a hamburger meal including chips and a drink. We will be embarking on a 3-hour tour (yes, we thought of the Gilligan’s Island theme son, too, and yes, we are sorry it will now be stuck in your head) and guided investigation.

Make sure you bring a flashlight and a camera. All mortals must wear tennis shoes. So, if you don’t scare easily and want on Old West experience unlike any other, we hope you’ll join us for a frightfully good adventure.
