LENOX, MA.   David Raby returns for another paranormal investigation of the historic and haunted Ventfort Hall.  Join him on Saturday evening, July 8, from 7 pm to midnight.

A non-fiction author and paranormal investigator, Raby has always been intrigued by history. Undaunted, he enters haunted locations that would terrify others with hopes of contacting lingering spirits to discover why they remain.

Raby is the author of four published books and countless online articles. With his passion for the paranormal field, he has accumulated over a decade of experience, founded a paranormal group and has helped many people (and spirits) that ranged between the curious and those seeking urgent advice.

His interest in the paranormal was shaped by the fact that spirits seem to be attracted to his compassion and openness. He has a knack for storytelling that fuels his intensive historical research and fact finding.

He believes that by bringing people’s stories out of the shadows and into the light of our awareness, they may find eternal rest and peace.

Before the investigation, Raby will give a brief history of the lives that once graced the hallways – and possibly still reside within. He will also share some of his favorite evidence from previous investigations and will be happy to answer any questions about paranormal investigations. This event is perfect for everyone; from someone who has never been on a paranormal investigation to the seasoned investigator.

Non-refundable tickets for this exciting event are $40 per person with a reduced rate of $25 for ages 12 – 18 and 19-23 with student ID and are limited. Reservations are strongly encouraged as this event typically sells out. Walk-ins accommodated as space allows. Visit https://gildedage.org/events for reservation or call us at (413) 637-3206. All of the proceeds from ticket sales will go towards the preservation and restoration of Ventfort Hall. The historical mansion is located at 104 Walker Street in Lenox.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated by the Massachusetts Cultural Council as an important partner of the Lenox Cultural District, one of the five such Berkshire County districts, Ventfort Hall Mansion and Gilded Age Museum was built in 1893 for George and Sarah Morgan, the sister of legendary financier J. Pierpont Morgan.

Self-guided tours of the historic mansion are offered daily as well as lectures, such exhibitions as the Bellefontaine Collection, concerts, theater, ghost tours and ghost hunts as well as other programs. This elegant Jacobean-Revival Berkshire “cottage” is available for private rental.  Ventfort Hall, also an Official Project of Save America’s Treasures program sponsored by The White House, has undergone substantial restoration, which continues.
