About this Event

Join Graveside Paranormal this Halloween Night, October 31st from 8:00 PM until 3:00 AM. Discover why the Roff House continues to fascinate paranormal investigators from around the world.

  • Cost $65

Built in the late 1800s by Asa Roff, the historic Roff House became forever linked to one of America's most mysterious paranormal cases—the Watseka Wonder, widely regarded as the first documented possession case in the United States. For generations, the home has drawn investigators, psychics, historians, and those seeking answers to the unexplained.

Your guide for the evening will be seasoned paranormal investigator and filmmaker Larry Eissler III, Director of The Séance, a documentary filmed at the Roff House over two years ago. During the production, more than 150 visitors participated in investigations that captured compelling paranormal experiences and unexplained phenomena.

One of the home's most unforgettable mysteries is the spirit of a young lady who has greeted countless visitors with a clear, disembodied voice saying:

"Hi... how are you?"

The Roff House has earned a reputation as one of the Midwest's premier locations for capturing Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVPs). From whispers and intelligent responses to chilling conversations beyond explanation, investigators continue to document remarkable evidence within its walls.

The tradition of spirit communication stretches back to Asa Roff himself, who was known to conduct séances inside the home. More than a century later, that tradition continues through investigations and séances led by Graveside Paranormal, International Medium DeEtte Ranae, and Larry Eissler III, all seeking to better understand the mysteries that still linger within the house.

Throughout the evening, Larry will guide you through the most active locations in the Roff House, sharing documented evidence, personal experiences, and the incredible history that has made this location famous throughout the paranormal world. Oh! Join Larry in a Estes Method inside the home.

Will the young lady’s voice greet you? Will your recorder capture an unexplained EVP? Or will you experience something you'll never forget?
