Strange Escapes Presents
Spirits of the Odd Fellows
A Paranormal Weekend at Belvoir Winery
June 9th thru June 11th, 2023
Liberty, MO
Real paranormal investigations of an old orphanage, hospital, nursing home, morgue, retirement home and cemetery – all in one place!
The historical Odd Fellows Home District in Liberty, MO is home to a sprawling set of buildings that once served and housed the orphaned, indigent, and elderly. While the former orphanage has been transformed into what is now the Belvoir Winery and Inn, the remaining buildings still await their fate. The passage of time has taken its toll on these old haunted halls, all of which you will have the rare privilege to roam when you join us for this two day event.
Join us as we assemble paranormal researchers and members of some of the most popular paranormal shows on television for a two day special event this June. Taste local wines, enjoy a ‘Ghosts Just Wanna Have Fun’ 80s welcome party, immerse yourself in a Haunted Disco murder mystery dinner, listen to panels and lectures, and actually investigate the Belvoir Winery and surrounding buildings yourself.

Event Information
For the investigation portions of the weekend, we encourage comfortable footwear and appropriate dress for the weather, as we will be outside for a large portion of the investigation.
There is a good amount of walking involved during the investigation through these historic buildings. Participants must be in reasonably good health and able to climb stairs and walk long distances over uneven terrain. These are historic buildings that have remained untouched for a number of years. We will have N95 masks on hand for anyone who has issues with dust.
At the moment, all investigations will be Saturday night. We will add Sunday tickets should Saturday fill up.
