Is the Highland Library haunted? Does Louis Latzer still roam the building? Who is attached to the dolls in the ground floor storage room? Join members from GRIP Paranormal on 2 October 2026, 6:30-8:30PM to try and find out! GRIP has been called upon to investigate many of St. Louis’s major venues, to include the Fox Theater, and now they want your help to investigate this historic library.
GRIP will guide you through the fundamentals of paranormal investigation and provide you with ghost hunting equipment to document your experiences. You'll then have the opportunity to apply your newfound knowledge while exploring the darkened areas of the library on your own or with the GRIP team.
Please bring a flashlight and your camera. Don't miss this unique opportunity to delve into the supernatural realm within one of Highland’s architectural treasures!
Space is limited. Please call the library to register 618-654-5066. Ages 13 and up.
