If you wonder why Las Vegas local Zak Bagans' — of Ghost Adventures fame — The Haunted Museum in Las Vegas was voted the No. 1 Best Haunted Destination in America in USA Today — then go if you dare. But be warned, this museum of the paranormal is filled with curiosities from Bagans' own collection which he claims is filled with mystical energy (in other words: haunted.) Regardless of whether you believe in the paranormal or not, this museum is earning rave reviews. Let's take a look at one of the most thrilling Las Vegas museums.
Looks like a regular house, doesn't it?
Actually, this 11,000-square-foot, 30-room mansion was constructed in 1938 and was originally owned by banker Cyril Wengert. The house has often been the subject of paranormal goings-on, a fitting history for The Haunted Museum in Las Vegas.
Visitors must sign waivers before entering the museum.
Bagans claims that each room has its own "vibe" at The Haunted Museum in Las Vegas.
He purchased the house in 2015 after an eight-year search for a "haunted" house and has since converted it into one of the best Las Vegas museums.
During the construction, however, two workers ran from the mansion and quit, while other workers claimed they frequently felt odd — as if the life was being sucked out of them.
One addition to the house are the stairs from the basement, the dirt that was underneath, and other ritualistic items from The Demon House in Gary, Indiana.
Exorcisms were performed in the house, which was razed in 2016.
Bagans also has a fascination with serial killers.
Among the museum's items include paintings done by John Wayne Gacy, artifacts owned by Charles Manson and Richard Ramirez, and Ed Gein's cauldron.
You'll see a lot of dolls on the tour, which are always good for a creepy thrill.
One of the scariest rooms at The Haunted Museum in Las Vegas contains the Dybbuk Box which is rumored to hold a malevolent spirit.
And it is said to be the most haunted object in existence.
Nothing here has been left unhaunted, including the items outdoors.
What poor soul ended up in here?
And you'll find Bagans' famous car and other vehicles on display.
His 1966 Pontiac Hearse even has a coffin-shaped speaker box.
While the museum may or may not be haunted, visitors have reported hearing voices, seeing apparitions, and having physical reactions like scratches on their skin, temporary paralysis, and other reactions.
Some even say they have random nose bleeds.
Find out for yourself - be brave, go inside, and answer the call of the beckoning skeleton.
It may be one of the scariest decisions you make in your entire life.
Don't forget to visit the gift shop at the end of the tour. Tickets for The Haunted Museum in Las Vegas can be found on the museum's website. Flashlight Ghost Tours are also available.
