Join us this Second Sunday as we welcome Jamie Nestroyl for an exploration of Omaha’s haunted history and the unexplained moments that continue to linger just beneath the surface.
Drawing from her work with Midwest Paranormal History Tours, Jamie will share firsthand accounts alongside the historical context behind them, bringing to light real stories connected to real places, including Fort Omaha itself. This engaging presentation goes beyond traditional storytelling, incorporating interactive elements and thoughtful insights into investigations and experiences that defy easy explanation.

Come with curiosity… and an open mind.
