Spend Friday, Nov. 13 at 7 p.m. exploring chilling tales with author Troy Taylor at the American Oddities Museum’s Friday the 13th event in Alton, part of its “An Evening with…” series.

The evening begins with a catered dinner, followed by Taylor’s presentation, “America’s Murder Houses.” Go behind the locked doors of famous and little-known homes where murder, violence and tragedy have left lasting marks—and where spirits are said to linger.

From footsteps echoing through empty hallways to doors opening on their own, haunting tales often hide an even darker history. Taylor will explore the stories behind these unsettling encounters, uncovering the real-life tragedies and reported hauntings that continue to surround these homes.

Settle in for an eerie evening of history, mystery and tales that may follow you home.
