Paranormal Reveal (NJP) of Hall Mills Evidence Investigation 2022
NJIn this, the 100th year since the unsolved murders of Reverend Edward Hall and Eleanor Mills, the Heritage Trail Association arranged access to the surviving evidence and NJP conducted the investigation with their equipment, we expected to collect absolutely nothing---but that is NOT what we experienced. Originally thinking there would be 'nothing' paranormal going on with the Hall Mills investigation, the HTA decided to combine our investigations of the Van Horne House and Hall Mills in September for the 100th anniversary of the murders. The September event sold out in minutes. And so much went on with the Hall Mills investigation, we HAD to separate the events and hold the Hall Mills reveal in November. Join us for the reveal*, hear what we heard and enter in the discussion of who did what! *No participant investigation involved. NJP will reveal the findings and guests will discuss. The evidence is in another secure location. 30.00 per person Limited to 40 guests!
