Event offers a chance to search for paranormal

This is what the Cooper Cabin looked like after 1963 when its last inhabitant, Nancy Cooper, died at 102. She was born in the Lincoln administration and died in the Kennedy administration.

The Butler County Historical Society is bringing back its popular “Hair-Raising History” event in time for the Halloween season. And, just like in a slasher movie, the evening will take place at a cabin in the woods.

Specifically, the historic Cooper Cabin at 199 Cooper Road in Winfield Township will play host to this year's “Hair-Raising History” with tours at 7, 8 and 9 p.m. Oct. 16.

Society Executive Director Jennifer Ford said each hour-long tour will consist of three parts.

Members of Butler Paranormal Investigations, who had earlier spent two nights in the cabin, will brief visitors on how to conduct their own paranormal investigations, as well as acquaint people with the team's equipment.

Team members will recount what, if anything, they uncovered during their investigation at the cabin.
