The Story Behind Zak Bagans Haunted Museum

Zak Bagans the Haunted Museum is housed in a large building that was built in 1938. The property was originally owned by a prominent businessman of the times, but over the years, the location seemed to collect what can be best described as hostile spirits. The spirits of people who have passed into other realms are said to have remained behind, causing havoc and even malice to occupants through the years. 

The property has a long history of dark and chilling activity. It’s said that during the 70s, the property’s basement was the location of some dark and unusual rituals. Today, the museum has become a collection of paranormal activity and hundreds of haunted objects, each with its own chilling history. 

The Story Behind Zak Bagans Haunted Museum 

The Haunted Museum features 33 rooms, each containing an odd and eerie collection of items that have fascinated lovers of the paranormal since the museum’s opening. Some of the items on display include the Dybbuk Box, which is said to be the inspiration behind the horror movie titled “Possession”.

Guests can also get up close and personal with the Death Van that was owned by none other than Jack Kevorkian himself.

You’ll also find Bela Lugosi’s Mirror, which is believed to be haunted after absorbing the energy of a brutal killing, along with Lugosi’s alleged involvement in the occult. Still, these interesting bits of haunted artifacts are only the tip of the iceberg. There are literally hundreds of objects to explore in the museum, which is a far cry from your ordinary haunted house. 

So, is any of the reported paranormal activity true? Countless visitors have walked through the world’s scariest museum and even tried, and true skeptics have left feeling changed, perhaps with a bit of an eerie chill running down their spine.

Who is Zak Bagans?

Zak Bagans is a television personality, but more importantly, he’s a paranormal investigator. His name is well known for being the main host of the Travel Channel’s Ghost Adventures series. Several years ago, Zak Bagans took on the task of finding haunted items for a special kind of museum. His vision became a reality in 2017 when he opened the Haunted Museum in Las Vegas.

Today, Zak Bagans lives in the Las Vegas area, where he can devote more of his time to collecting memorabilia from epic deaths and famous serial killers while creating a world where paranormal enthusiasts and believers of other realms come to dip their toes into an experience that feels like Halloween every day.  

Tours

The standard tour at Zak Bagans Haunted Museum (although it feels like “standard” just isn’t the right word to use here) takes guests on a guided tour through secret passageways, haunted hallways, and more than thirty rooms that feature a collection of haunted and creepy memorabilia that will leave you with the feeling that you’re in the scariest place on earth. 

You’ll have the opportunity to explore bone-chilling artifacts like the real, authentic staircase from the notorious Demon House that was demolished at its Indiana location in 2014.

Surrounding the base of the staircase is a floor of dirt from the grounds of the Demon House property. This specific artifact is special to the Haunted Museum because the sense of darkness and doom was so strong that the construction crew refused to return to the job after its installation at the museum. 

You’ll also come face to face with the Devil’s Rocking Chair, a chair from Michael Jackson’s death room, remnants from famous deadly automobile accidents, and, of course, the Dybbuk Box, which is said to be the most haunted object in the entire world. 

Standard tours last about two hours to work your way through the entire house, so make sure you’re up for an awesome adventure of creepy, haunted fun before you sign up.

Late Night Flashlight Ghost Tour

If you’re really up for some ghost adventures of your own, you’ll want to sign up for the Late Night Flashlight Ghost Tour. This tour takes place late at night when the doors have closed.

Guests then enter and have the entirety of the Haunted Museum to themselves. The lights are kept low, with flashlights being used to help guide the way. 

Why does Zak Baga’s The Haunted Museum offer this late-night tour? Rumor has it that after dark is when the true paranormal activity sparks up, with proof that paranormal happenings are common after dark. 

This is a limited occupancy tour, with only twenty people being allowed in, and the whole tour takes about an hour and a half.

Each group of twenty is divided in half so that a group of ten explores one side of the museum and then swaps with the other group. It’s suggested that you take one of the other tours prior to the Flashlight experience so that guests are familiar with the layout and main exhibits. 

  • Ticket Prices for Flashlight Tour start at $204
  • Comes with an engraved flashlight as a souvenir
  • Paranormal equipment can be borrowed with a ticket

    1. There is no guarantee you can meet Zak. One of the best ways to meet him is at one of his show premieres, book signings, or meet n greets.
