Perkins Stone Mansion, built by the son of the founder of Akron, may contain a few ghostly secrets. Within its walls, an image of a ghostly visage was caught using a cell phone camera, and various orbs and other anomalies have been recorded by ghost enthusiasts.
ArtCetera, the young professionals arm of the Akron Area Arts Alliance, will meet at the mansion this Friday (Nov. 18) for a ghost tour, which begins with drinks and snacks at 7 p.m.
Participants are encouraged to bring their flashlights, as well as a yearning for adventure. The Summit County Historical Society's ghost hunts are for enthusiasts and those just seeking adventure and fun, according to the organization, which adds past ghost hunters have captured anomalies on camera and witnessed orbs and unusual sightings in portraits on the walls.
The tour costs $10 but is is free for ArtCetera members (to join, call (330) 376-8480). RSVP to this event by emailing .
