Choose Between Two Options

  • $10 for a two-hour grand tour, ghost hunt, and Ghost Hunting 101 class (up to a $20 value)

Ghost-hunting starts at 8 p.m., 10 p.m., or midnight Thursday-Saturday. Paranormal researcher Vince Wilson guides a grand tour and ghost hunt of The Haunted Cottage, during which guests record EVP, use EMF meters, and get schooled in the basics of specter searching with a workshop in ghost hunting.

The overnight expedition starts at 8 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays, and select Wednesdays, and includes a history lesson, a workshop, and a walk-through followed by EMF readings, EVP recordings, and spooky psychic experiments such as time trance regression.

Children 5 or younger are admitted at no cost.

The Haunted Cottage

Though spectral forms and shadowy figures still reside in The Haunted Cottage, its greatest legacy is as the occasional vacation home of assassin John Wilkes Booth. Also known as the Booth House, The Haunted Cottage is home to paranormal researcher Vince Wilson, who helms the haunted abode's ghost tours and maintains the paranormal library and history museum, where guests can spy a vampire skeleton among other supernatural exhibits. All this knowledge pours from Vince's mouth during tours and investigations, which pair breakdowns of the house's 150-year history with actual equipment designed to catch ghosts, from cameras and digital recorders to EMF meters delicately hoisting a morsel of cheese.

The Haunted Cottage also strives to school spirit-seekers with paranormal-research training that cycles through parapsychology topics such as extrasensory perception, hypnosis, and psychic healing.

The Groupon Guide to: Bodily Systems

Our bodies are more than just the beastly vessels our souls must live in—they are complex systems of muscle, bone, and smells that work together so that we can go to our jobs, eat our food, and use our toilets. Learn more about the bodily systems that make it all possible:

The Nervous System: Transmitters all over your body send messages to your brain so that you know whether you're feeling hot, cold, or all of the blood draining out of your right leg.

The Digestive System: This unfair part of your body converts vegetables into energy but turns all good-tasting foods into fat and compressed air.

The Circulatory System: Your body is a factory of hot juices. The circulatory system keeps these juices moving so you stay at the comfortable and healthy temperature of freshly cooked soup.

The Skeletal System: The core of your being is a bunch of hollow, brittle sticks that future species will dig up and use to guess what you looked like when you still had skin and dignity.

What is the temperature of the human body food-wise?
