My Adventures at Zak Bagan's Haunted Museum

My Adventures at Zak Bagan's Haunted Museum

1,601 50 13

This is a story of real events I experienced through different visits to Zak Bagan's Haunted Museum. I'm telling it through the lens of two fictional characters to better understand what happened, and to make it more of an experience for the reader. I have become obsessed with the museum, and I'm not sure why. It could be the macabre items on display, or the fact Zak Bagans owns them, or the experiences I've had in the museum itself. But writing it all down to share with others seems like a way to embrace the weird things that have happened, and maybe see if there are others that feel the same way. Feel free to comment about your experiences, questions, or other comments. I found out the Haunted Museum isn't a joke or an average spooky, haunted house adventure. My first visit was in Dec. 2017, and my last was in December 2022. I've been on the new VIP tour and Flashlight tour, where you get to paranormal investigate the museum. I will be adding those experiences in a noted separate tour as part of the story. I will keep going back and adding more experiences. But then, don't wait for me. Go yourself. It's worth the trip.If you are interested in Zak Bagan's and his Haunted Museum, this story will give you an idea of what the tours are like, what is in the museum, and what to expect with a visit. But there is also a fallout from a visit there, like attachments, dreams, and experiences especially if you are sensitive. Find this all out by this account of what it's like to visit the museum.***Many of the characters are fictional except for Zak Bagans, that owns the museum. Whenever possible, real pictures of the museum are included that I took. I also run the FB fan group for the museum. Look for it on Facebook. Enjoy!…

I was at the Purple Rain Concert Tour performance at the Cow Palace on March 1, 1985. It was an experience that inspired this fanfiction. I wish it had happened to me.

And though it may not be real for me, hopefully it is real enough for you to experience some of the magic of being able to be a part of something special, being on Earth while Prince was with us making his music. RIP Prince! Love you always~**Entered in One Shot Contest-Summer 2016…
