Paranormal Investigators Explore Historic, Haunted, Masonic Hall

In a groundbreaking event, paranormal enthusiasts will have a rare opportunity to investigate one of Connecticut's oldest and reportedly most haunted Masonic Halls in Waterbury.  The exclusive investigation, led by renowned paranormal experts Charles F. Rosenay and Thomas Gormley, is scheduled for November 15th and 16th.

This unique experience, dubbed "Phantoms of the Masonic Hall," marks the first time paranormal investigators have been granted access to this historic location. The organizers, known as "The Shaman and The Showman," have been working for over two years to secure permission for this unprecedented event.

The evening will begin with dinner and an orientation session, where participants will learn how to use ghost-hunting equipment. Following this, the group will explore the Masonic Hall alongside Masonic hosts, who will share their personal supernatural experiences within the building.

Charles F. Rosenay, one of the event's hosts and a producer of Connecticut's Original Paranormal Convention (PARACONN), expressed excitement about the investigation. "In previous events, participants have captured amazing photographs and readings.  We're thrilled to offer this raw and rare opportunity to explore such a historically significant and potentially haunted location," he said.

The event, limited to just 10 participants per night, will run from 7:00 pm.m to approximately 10:00 p.m.  All ages are welcome, though those under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.  The $99 per person fee includes dinner and the guided investigation.

Interested parties are encouraged to secure their reservations quickly due to limited space. For more information or to reserve a spot, email CTParaConn@gmail.com or call (203) 795-4737.

As the veil between our world and the supernatural grows thin, this event promises to be an unforgettable experience for those brave enough to explore the mysteries of Waterbury's historic Masonic Hall.
