SNE Paranormal Team and the Artillery Company of Newport have announced they are collaborating on fundraising efforts and paranormal tours to benefit the Artillery Company of Newport through a series of guest ghost hunts of the Clark Street Armory building – home of The Newport Artillery Company during the month of October.
The special paranormal tour to benefit the Artillery Company, called Artillery Company Newport’s Ghosts of the Armory Past and Present, These guest ghost hunts of the Clark Street Armory will be held at 7:00 pm & 8:30 pm on October 13th, 14th, 27th and 28th. Admission is $50 per person.
These interactive guest ghost hunts of the previously never investigated armory building will provide guests with an interactive experience of participating in an actual ghost investigation of the Clarke St. Armory building located at 23 Clarke Street.
