SUMMARY:The Spirits Of Stable Rock
DESCRIPTION:Haunted Rockford has worked with two different investigation teams for years to explore  haunted locations. Midwest Ghost Investigators and In the Presence of Others Paranormal. Together\, we search for the origins of the hauntings and hope to uncover the truth behind the flickering lights and strange noises in the night. Haunted Rockford is thrilled to bring these two teams together again to this historic location to investigate the many tales of ghostly encounters. They will share the legacy of the Boll Family and the evidence collected at their previous investigations. Then you will get to join in an actual investigation and attempt to connect with any spirits that may linger there. \n  \nOnline Registration is now closed for this event. There are a few tickets left at $30.00 each. For information call Kathi at 815-871-4239.
