Ireland House Museum
Spirit Hunt
Unlock the Secrets of Ireland House Museum
Where History and Spirit Intersect
Step beyond the velvet ropes and into one of Burlington’s oldest historic homes. Built in 1837 by Joseph Ireland, the beautifully preserved Ireland House Museum offers a rare opportunity to explore the layered history of one of the city’s founding families, and the presence that many believe still lingers within its walls
Ireland House holds more than preserved rooms and historic artifacts, it carries memory. Many who enter speak of subtle shifts, unexplained sounds, and moments that feel quietly personal, as though the house itself is aware of being witnessed.
This investigation is held with intention, grounding, and respect. Rather than provoking or chasing activity, we create the conditions for genuine paranormal experiences to unfold naturally. Every moment is approached thoughtfully, allowing participants to observe, engage, and trust what they notice for themselves.
Something happens at every investigation, not because it’s forced, but because the space is met with awareness and care.
What Awaits You
Join us for a 3-hour immersive paranormal experience that blends intuitive awareness, historical context, and ethical investigation, offering both experience and understanding.
Awaken Your Intuition
We begin the evening with a grounding and intuitive preparation session designed to help you regulate your nervous system, sharpen perception, and learn how to recognize intuitive awareness without fear or imagination taking the lead. This isn’t about “becoming psychic”, it’s about learning how to notice clearly and trust what you experience.
Step Into the Past
You’ll take part in a guided tour of the Ireland House Museum, learning the history of the Ireland family while tuning into how the space responds in the present moment. Attention is placed on atmosphere, shifts, and moments of response, not on expectation.
Investigate with Intention
Participants will work with a combination of spiritual and scientific tools in both group and solo settings. Techniques such as the Estes Method may be explored alongside other forms of spirit communication that often yield compelling and meaningful responses — without provocation or pressure.
Séance & Integration
The evening closes with a respectfully guided séance. This portion is held with care, curiosity, and ethical boundaries — offering space for messages, moments, and integration. The focus is not fear, but connection, understanding, and the stories that still linger within the space.
Debrief and Ground
We end the night by sharing experiences and insights, allowing participants to ground what unfolded and reflect on how the experience may continue to resonate beyond the investigation itself.
Ireland House Museum Spirit Hunt
Respectful Exploration, Soulful Connection
These ghost hunts are not thrill-seeking adventures. They are thoughtfully guided investigations into the energy, emotion, and history that still reside within the space. By approaching the unseen with curiosity, discernment, and care, we create opportunities for genuine experiences that often leave a lasting impression.
We open the veil between worlds with reverence inviting spirit to speak and be seen.

Meet Lauren
Spiritual Educator & Guide to the Unseen
Hi, I’m Lauren. Thanks for being here.
My work sits at the intersection of paranormal experience and intuitive understanding. What began over ten years ago as curiosity about ghosts deepened into a devoted exploration of how spirit and consciousness express themselves beyond the physical world, not as spectacle, but as something meaningful, powerful, and worthy of respect.
As a spiritual educator and guide to the unseen realms I create intentionally guided experiences that allow people to encounter the unexplained safely, ethically, and without fear-based narratives. I’ve witnessed skeptics leave investigations changed, not because they were convinced, but because they experienced something they couldn’t dismiss. Those moments are what continue to guide my work.
Alongside investigations, I’ve supported countless individuals through intuitive and soul-centered readings, workshops, and virtual programs. My focus is not on belief, but on understanding — helping people trust their perception, regulate their nervous system in uncertainty, and integrate extraordinary experiences into everyday life with clarity and confidence.
When I’m not leading investigations or teaching, you’ll find me wandering historic museums, collecting antique Ouija boards, spending time with my partner Pierce and our fur-baby dog Casper, indulging my love of fashion, or watching a good scary movie. I also manage select ghost walk experiences with The Ghost Walks, continuing to expand my work within historic and culturally significant spaces.
FUN FACT: I met Pierce at a Ghost Hunt I was hosting! So, hey, maybe you’ll meet the love of your life too at this ghost hunt.

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.
