Spirits of Butler Paranormal Weekend Set For Oct. 23-24 at General Butler

It’s that time of year again – ghosts, goblins, pumpkins, and other unspeakable creatures lurk behind every corner.  At least we have fun thinking they do.

Kentucky knows how to have a ball with Halloween and the fun is starting to shape up.  I have lots of posts about pumpkin patches, Halloween events, and haunted houses in store – so watch for them. The ghouls are about to take over Genuine Kentucky!

Check this one out:  General Butler State Resort Park is hosting a “Spirits of Butler Paranormal Weekend” on Oct. 23-24.

Join Starr Williams, certified ghost investigator and spokesperson of Psy Tech Radio, and the investigation team RIP for a weekend of ghost hunting at the Butler-Turpin State Historic House and cemetery located at General Butler State Resort Park in Carrollton.

Learn about the theories, the latest in high-tech equipment and the best practices of ghost investigations followed by an actual investigation led by the “Spirits of Butler” team.

The park is offering a weekend package that includes the Saturday night paranormal event, one night’s lodging, an evening buffet and breakfast at Two Rivers Restaurant. The cost is $159 plus tax per couple and $99 plus tax for individuals.
