Hope to see you there! 👻👻

Two nights. Two locations. Two very different experiences.

Join us for CalaSCAREus paranormal investigations this summer:

🏠 June 27 – Bethany’s Home Sweet Haunted Home, Jackson
🏛️ July 18 – Calaveras County Museum, San Andreas

These aren’t ghost tours. These are hands-on investigations inside historic locations with real stories—using professional equipment and guided by the history of the space.

If you’ve been curious what these places feel like after dark… this is your chance.

The building's gold rush era stone foundation was crumbling, threatening the building and making it noticeably unlevel. Thanks to a lot of fundraising the building has just been lifted 25 inches and now sits on blocks so the foundation can be rebuilt using modern masonry which will last another 170 years and beyond.
