The New ParaHouse x Clarksburg History Museum Collab is Seriously Spooky

In the spirit of exploration and preservation, ParaHouse Magazine is thrilled to announce a dynamic new partnership with the Clarksburg History Museum located in Clarksburg, West Virginia. This collaboration kicks off with the museum's "A Haunting at James & Law" ghost tour, a spine-tingling journey through the shadows of West Virginia's rich and enigmatic past.

"As enthusiasts of the paranormal and historians alike, we at ParaHouse Magazine are eager to weave our passion for the unexplained into the fabric of Clarksburg's cultural heritage," said Melisa Shaw Kennedy, ParaHouse Magazine's founder and Editor-in-Chief. "Partnering with the museum... especially with an event at James & Law where I remember as a little girl shopping for school supplies there and other things I was obsessed with back in the day, now the location is reimagined with a ParaHouse twist."

Unveiling the "Haunting at James & Law" Experience

The "Haunting at James & Law" ghost tour offers visitors an immersive evening of historical intrigue and supernatural suspense. Set against the backdrop of the historic James & Law building—one of Clarksburg's most storied landmarks—this guided tour delves into tales of spectral sightings, unexplained phenomena, and the lingering echoes of the 19th century. Participants will traverse dimly lit corridors, hear firsthand accounts from local lore keepers, and perhaps even encounter the ethereal residents said to inhabit the site.

What sets this tour apart is its seamless blend of factual history and folklore. From the building's role in Clarksburg's industrial boom to the ghostly apparitions reported by modern-day witnesses, the experience is as educational as it is exhilarating. ParaHouse Magazine will enhance this offering through exclusive content, including pre-tour primers on the building's haunted legacy and post-event recaps featuring participant stories and expert analyses.

This inaugural event is scheduled for October 18, 2025, with tickets available now through the Clarksburg History Museum's website. We encourage history buffs, paranormal investigators, and adventure seekers to secure their spots early—spaces are limited, and the nights are growing shorter.

A Lasting Alliance: Looking Ahead to 2026 and Beyond

This partnership is not a one-night affair but the foundation of an enduring collaboration designed to illuminate Clarksburg's multifaceted history.

In 2026, ParaHouse Magazine will team up with the museum for a series of captivating events, including:

• Waldomore Mansion Tours: A deep dive into the opulent Gilded Age estate, exploring its architectural grandeur and the whispers of its former inhabitants. Expect guided explorations, archival exhibits, and themed discussions on Victorian-era life.

• Civil War Commemoration Events: Marking key anniversaries with reenactments, lectures, and artifact displays that honor Clarksburg's pivotal role in the conflict. Our coverage will highlight untold stories of resilience and valor, bridging the gap between past battles and present reflections.

These initiatives reflect our shared commitment to making history accessible, engaging, and alive. By partnering with ParaHouse Magazine, the Clarksburg History Museum gains a platform to amplify its mission, reaching a broader audience of curious minds eager to connect with the past.
