A Paranormal Investigation of the Doctors House Museum

One of the most frequently asked questions during a Doctors House tour is whether or not it is haunted. We've asked historical researcher and ghost expert Craig Owens to find out the answer once and for all. Join museum director Laura Crook as she and Mr. Owens discuss why Victorian architecture is often presumed to be haunted and whether or not that assumption applies to our very own 1890's house museum. Here we will share the findings and analyze the audio evidence found from two recent investigations. Is there indeed a doctor lingering in the house?

Life, Death, and Medicine in the Victorian Age

Living in the Victorian Age brought with it challenges that are distant to our modern world. Travel back in time with our panel of historical authors as they discuss daily hazards like gunshot wounds and concussions, treatment by medical doctors and indigenous healers, the establishment of poor farms for the mentally ill and indigents, mourning etiquette, and more.
