Ireland House Museum

Ghost Hunt

Unlock the Secrets of Ireland House Museum

Where history and spirit collide

Step beyond the velvet ropes and into the shadows of one of Burlington’s oldest homes. Built in 1837 by Joseph Ireland, the beautifully preserved Ireland House Museum tells the story of one of the city’s founding families—but what lingers behind the artifacts and restored rooms is far more mysterious.

Whispers echo through the halls. Shadowy figures flicker at the edge of sight. Visitors and staff alike have reported chilling sensations and unexplained phenomena. Many believe that members of the Ireland family never truly left—and during this ghost hunt, you just might meet them.

Meet Lauren

Spiritual Guide & Paranormal Explorer

Hey, I’m Lauren! I’ve been dancing with Spirit for the past 9 years. What started as a curiosity about ghosts (thanks The Ghost Walks!) quickly turned into a full-on obsession with all things supernatural, paranormal, and mystical. As a Spiritual Guide and Paranormal Explorer, I’m always eager to dive deeper into the unseen worlds and uncover their secrets.

I’ve had the honor of doing soul readings for so many amazing people, and now I’m passionate about helping others learn how to connect with Spirit through my virtual programs, workshops, and ghost hunts. When I’m not chatting with spirits, you’ll probably find me treasure hunting for antique Ouija boards (yes, I collect them!), wandering through museums, snuggling with animals, indulging in some retail therapy (fashion lover here!), or watching a scary movie. I also manage some of the ghost walk nights for The Ghost Walks — because, let’s be real, ghosts are kind of my thing.

GHOST HUNTS

Step into the past and explore the spirits that linger within the walls of the Ireland House Museum.

Join us for a paranormal investigation at one of Burlington’s most historic and actively haunted locations—The Ireland House Museum.

Built in 1837 by Joseph Ireland, this beautifully preserved home tells the story of one of Burlington’s founding families. But beyond the artifacts and restored rooms, whispers from the past remain. Staff and visitors have reported unexplained noises, shadow figures, and eerie sensations throughout the home. Some believe that members of the Ireland family never truly left—are you ready to connect with them?

During this paranormal investigation, we will open the veil between worlds, and connect with the spirits of Ireland House, hearing their stories and learning about their lives. We always approach investigations as a means of discovery and communication, respecting the sanctity of the building and the souls that still reside.

Ireland House has many stories to tell.
Join us as we explore the hidden stories and messages embedded within the history of its walls.

About your guide

Lauren Holder

For nearly a decade, I’ve been dancing with Spirit—what began as a casual curiosity (shoutout to The Ghost Walks) quickly spiraled into a full-blown love affair with all things supernatural, mystical, and otherworldly.

Today, I’m a Spiritual Guide and Paranormal Explorer on a mission to help others connect with the unseen. Whether it’s through soul readings, virtual programs, immersive workshops, or spine-tingling ghost hunts, I’m here to help you tap into your intuition and rediscover your magic.

When I’m not conversing with spirits or managing ghost tours, you’ll likely find me treasure hunting for antique Ouija boards (yes, I collect them!), exploring dusty old museums, snuggling animals, indulging my fashion obsession, or watching a good scary movie.

You can also find her managing many of the different walks at The Ghost Walks
