Ghost Gear Tech & Get Haunted Midwest Present
The Sleeper Mortuary Paranormal Investigation Experience
A Special Collaborative Event with Rob Walczak & Kris Smith
6 PM – Midnight | Guided + Solo Investigation
Some buildings remember everything. Established in 1886 by Lyman Sleeper, the Sleeper Mortuary served its community through tragedy, loss, fire, and generations of change. After surviving two devastating fires, one in 1902 and another in 1915th, the mortuary rose again, continuing operations through multiple owners, name changes, and nearly a century of service to the dead and the living. By the time its doors closed for good in 1999, more than 2,600 families had entrusted their final goodbyes to this building.
After its closure, the structure passed through many hands, housing students, shops, flea markets, and offices; yet somehow, the entire first floor remained frozen in time, untouched in its original funeral home layout. In 2025, the building found new life once more when it was purchased with the sole purpose of preserving its history, its artifacts, and its stories, not as a business, but as a living record of those who passed through its doors. Now, for one intense night, you are invited inside.
