The story

The Museum of Shadows fills its historic building in Omaha, Nebraska — relocated from Plattsmouth's Main Street to the Old Market district — with one of the world's largest collections of allegedly haunted artifacts: thousands of dolls, paintings, furnishings and curios donated from across the continent, each labelled with its story, headlined by Ayda, the scratched-eyed porcelain doll the museum bills as the most haunted in the world, filmed shifting in her case, and by a battery-less toy monkey that trips alarms at night. Founders Nate and Kaleigh Raterman, paranormal investigators, built the museum from 2016 as both archive and active investigation site, running daytime tours, sit-in-the-dark sessions and overnight ghost hunts that television features have followed; visitor telling supplies shadows crossing the aisles, touches and hair-pulls, voices, and artifacts found moved — the museum's own daily ledger, presented as its claims and its guests' accounts, unverified and framed as such. Present the Museum of Shadows as a modern paranormal institution — collection, claims and showmanship together; current address, hours and event details confirmed from its official pages.
