Upcoming Ghost Investigations
Wide River Winery Ghost Hunting Experience
Wednesday, October 29th
6-8pm
106 N. Cody Road, LeClaire, Iowa
Join QC Haunts for another exciting Wide River Winery investigation, this time in their LeClaire, Iowa, location.
The LeClaire Ghost Hunting Experience in Wide River Winery
If you've been to the Wide River Winery tasting room in LeClaire before, you might have felt like someone was watching you. Or perhaps you felt the temperature change around you--and it wasn't the effects of the wine! On Wednesday, October 29th, you can join QC Haunts & History for a paranormal investigation of the historic building at 106 N. Cody Road. We'll have access to the main floor's tasting room, the upstairs AirBnB, and other parts of the property.
You'll get an introduction to the history of the building and of LeClaire. You'll also learn how to use paranormal investigation equipment in order to make contact with those on the other side. If you've ever been curious about ghost investigating and how it works, this event is for you. Plus, you'll receive guidance from S&S Paranormal Investigations and Haunted Maps.
Tickets are $30 each and include one glass of wine and a charcuterie cup. You can also stock up on the area's best wine for your Halloween party!
Ages 21 and up only.
