Dr. Alfred Egan, leading spiritualist of the Arkham Theosophical Society in Massachusetts has halted The Internet Players production of their Haunted House due to apparent paranormal activity and concerns for the safety of their student volunteers.

Dr. Egan's investigations will include a series of public séances expected to determine the magnitude of activity currently present in historic Hibernian Hall. The séances will be open to all interested as a way to compensate for lost revenue.

Curator Ron Bellamy has agreed to host guided tours of the Haunted Hibernian Hall for a first-time ever glimpse into the secrets harbored in this historic building. The tour will last approximately 30 minutes.
