Voted the best museum in Las Vegas, Zak Bagans’ Haunted Museum holds some of the worlds most
spine-chilling objects, and hostile spirits.
Museum takes you on a creepy venture down winding halls and secret passageways, encountering
paranormal pieces in over 30 rooms.
Including the propofol chair from Michael Jackson’s death room.
Yeah.
Creepy stuff.
So today we’ve compiled a list of some of the scariest items with our list of the Top
5 Scary Items At Zak Bagans’ Haunted Museum, let’s jump in.
5 Ed Gein’s Cauldron For those who don’t know, Ed Gein became
infamous in Plainfield Wisconsin after he was found to have exhumed corpses from local
graveyards and fashioned trophies out the skins.
His crimes were truly repugnant and thankfully he was remanded to a psychiatric institution
before dying at the age of 77.
Now, very creepily displayed at Zak Bagan’ museum is Ed Gein’s cauldron, which was
initially used by his family to render hog fat on their farmer, but later had a far more
sinister job at the hands ob Gein.
When found the cauldron was covered in dry blood and cuts, so it doesn’t take to much
thought to find out what he had been using it for.
After it’s discovery people reported dark energy around the cauldron, even stating that
they experienced mysterious illness and disruption of nearby electronics.
People who have encountered the cauldron have described a feeling of unease, dizziness and
even anxiety.
Would you dare gaze upon it?
4 John Murrell’s Preserved Thumb Now this one's a doozy!
Originally housed at a Tennessee museum, this mummified thumb belonged John Murrell, a horse
thief and bandit who would frequently dress up as a minister and while giving fake sermons
his band of outlaws would steal horses from the locals within town.
He was once even written about by author Mark Twain in his book, Life on the Mississippi.
John died from tuberculosis on an unknown date and his body was mummified and put on
display, parts even being set to different places around the country.
Now, what’s so spooky about the thumb then?
Well supposedly it possessed the power to cause illness and distress in those that see
it.
Confirming that a little piece of John still resides in the thumb, hellbent on inflicting
pain and torture on those that come across it.
3 Dibbuk Box For those of you who don’t know, the Dibbuk
Box gained infamy in 2004 after an article was published in the Los Angeles Times, and
from there it went on to spawn the horror movie, The Possession.
It is thought to be a spirit of a person who instead of drifting over into the next life,
stays puts and the enters the bodies of living people.
It is known as one of the world’s most haunted items, and Zak paid tens of thousands of dollars
in order to display it in his horror museum.
Now, the Dibbuk Box will not be opened, Zak even stated that he was too terrified to do
that, however, if you’re over 18 and sign a waiver, you may just be given the opportunity.
Godspeed.
2 Charles Manson’s Ashes Now this one is just downright creepy.
Even Zak Bagans himself thinks so, and that man is not easily creeped out.
Firstly, take a look at this.
Yup, it’s a painting of the notorious cult leader Charles Manson, famous for forming
the Manson Family and responsible for a series of nine grizzly murders between July and August
of 1969.
He was later arrested in 1971 and died in prison at the age of 83 in 2017.
Now, this painting is no ordinary painting, because of course, Zak Bagans has no time
for some non-possessed fancy art.
This painting is in fact made up of Manson’s own ashes, specifically in the eyes of the
painting, which somehow makes this even more creepier.
It was painted by Ryan Almighty, an artist who is famous for using human bloody and human
remains to create his artwork.
You can find this piece displayed alongside Manon’s false teeth, his own personal art
he created in prison, and even his TV.
Now some people have questioned the legitimacy of the painted but Bagans has been quoted
in saying “I know exactly who was there, who got some of the ashes, the various people
who grabbed the ashes to the throw them in the air.
I have all the footage.
I am really strict about how I display things, and I know they are all legitimate.
This is legitimate”.
Well, there we go folks.
1 Peggy The Doll Zak Bagan’ Haunted Museum is now the proud
owner of Peggy The Doll, a doll that is apparently so sinister just looking at it will cause
pain, suffering and even heart attacks.
Katrin Reddick believes that just looking at an image of the doll cause her to suffer
from severe heart trauma.
Spooky.
Peggy was transported to the museum with a bag over her head and a warning has to be
displayed any camera looks upon her, that’s how dangerous and out of control she supposedly
is.
On one particular occasion Zak asked for the help of a psychic to perform a seance, in
hopes of making contact with the demonic spirit residing within Peggy.
Of course the seance rumbled nothing but fear in all the witnessed up, but sadly no demon
made itself known.
Well there we have it.
