From time to time, guests and staff alike report disturbances such as footsteps, noises, voices, and the occasional light problem that cannot be explained by normal means. Various groups have lead paranormal investigations at the Stillman House Museum, the Brownsville Heritage Museum, and the Old City Cemetery Center.
If you've experienced a haunting at one of our locations and would like to share your story or pictures on our website, please email us at info@brownsvillehistory.org.

Graveyard Shift Paranormal Investigators hosted a public paranormal investigation at the Old City Cemetery on September 24th. Three groups were led to the cemetery, where they investigated the alleged hauntings reported there. The video below are the results of the investigation.
On October 15, the BHA opened the Stillman House for its very first overnight program. Graveyard Shift Paranormal came back to Brownsville to lead a public investigation of the museum. Previous groups (private and public) have explored the Stillman House with positive results and the GSPI led investigation was no different. Below is a video containing evidence found during the investigation.
Melody Maids, a local club for middle school-aged girls, spent the morning of October 29th with the BHA on a ghost hunt of the Old City Cemetery. 31 girls and five parents were led by BHA Education Coordinator Rhiannon Cizon and Musuem Assistant Dan LeFave on a two hour long exploration and hunt of the cemetery. The girls used digital voice recorders, cameras, and even dowsing rods to see if they could connect with the ghosts of the Historic City Cemetery. Below is a video with EVPs caught during that investigation.
