How did you like the event?

 Great variety of vendors and food trucks. My biggest complaint would be the heat. For the midwest it was unusually warm for the beginning of October but more fans should have been brought in. If the temp was better indoors the crowds would have stuck around longer.

How did you like the event?

 There was absolutely no mention anywhere on your website about the Annabelle exhibit hours. We drove six hours specifically to see it, only to be told it was from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. something that should’ve been clearly listed online. I spent $175 on tickets, plus the cost of a hotel and gas, and never even got the chance to see what we came for. That’s completely unacceptable and misleading.

How did you like the event?

 Was not organized very well, people making up history of building on the fly, no maps or coordination for groups, for VIP prices we felt at least the organization of events should have been better managed. Icing on top was, a man busted into seance shined a flashlight in all our faces, stated he was looking for someone that came into building rushed out of seance room and cleared nearby room with a gun, we left seance immediately before it stared because we felt unsafe.

 It was fun and gave me the opportunity to remove the entity that had been imprisoned within the Annabelle doll. #ghostheist

How did you like the event?

 There were way too many people. The workers working the check in process were not clear. It was extremely hot. There was not enough room to walk through and enjoy myself there was not enough signage showing people where things were at. I will not be attending again.

How did you like the event?

 It was good. Lots of different venders from all over. The different classes they had (ticketed or not) were good. However, the classes that were held in the location called boys locker room I didn’t like. People would walk through, talking or a lot of noise and it was difficult to hear or even

 did not like it. The venue is unsafe, fire trap.

Oct 05, 2025
by:Norrine Distelhurst

How did you like the event?

 There was no air conditioning or air flow..Many of the tables were known for their work in ghost hunting as opposed to vendors with supplies or items of interest, and I was not able to find an event or speaker schedule online prior to the event. It was not a comfortable event. It may be better to close the parking lot off and use that space for additional vendors so it is not so cramped and uncomfortable inside. I would say the food trucks could operate from the road.

How did you like the event?

 I loved it but I wish they provided more fans for circulation in the building. It was so uncomfortable. Perhaps a different haunted location like Milwaukee. I feel there would have been more foot traffic for the event.

How did you like the event?

 We got there when they opened. Had to wait in line for awhile. Not a big deal. LOTS of vendors which was awesome!! Although I thought it would be bigger. Had a blast and plan on going next year if they have it

 It was a great time. I loved being able to be around people that love to do these things as well and get educated on things paranormal as well.

How did you like the event?

 The exhibit itself was great! There were many items to view outside of the main event and I enjoyed how items were ladies out to be viewed. The only issue we had was that the vendor walk thru was too crowded and there was no air conditioning so it was hotter inside than outside.

How did you like the event?

 it was just so dreadfully hot. I had sweat dripping off me, as did my daughter. You need to do something about the heat in the building. I understand a lot of people, but this was beyond that.

How did you like the event?

 staff was polite and helpful, oved how they had your name in an envelope. Initially by the doll I felt a barrier. Then we stopped one of the workers with the warren items and we stood by Annabelle. As we talked I felt sweaty, my son said he felt freezing. Around the doll and items perception of time felt different compared to reality. We hadn't experienced anything like it before. Weird dreams after the event as well. Thank you for the experience

How did you like the event?

 Great! I thought the museum part was managed very well, also the main reason I went. It was a hard event to manage because of all the people, but I thought it was done very well. The only thing I would say is that I felt trapped downstairs. I didnt know which way to go at one point to get back upstairs to the venders because every time i followed a vender sign it led to a dead end . Having investigated there before though, I quickly found the way. Parking was challenging
