Halloween in August? Not a bad idea for scare fans, who will have to chance to watch paranormal investigators check out a supposedly “haunted” Lehigh Valley restaurant at Shankweiler’s Drive-In Theatre.
The episode of “Ghost Encounters” will screen as part of a double feature alongside the film “Poltergeist” on Aug. 18 at the theater at 4540 Shankweiler Road in North Whitehall Township, according to an email announcement.
The episode features the two-century-old Hanoverville Roadhouse at 5001 Hanoverville Road in Hanover Township, Northampton County, and includes “compelling audio and visual paranormal evidence captured throughout the building, including the attic, second-floor apartment, first floor, and mysterious basement.”
Members of the “Ghost Encounters” team will be at the event for a meet-and-greet.
“We’re incredibly excited to see one of our investigations shown on the big screen at Shankweiler’s,” Justin Torok, the “Ghost Encounters” creator and lead investigator, said in the announcement. “The Hanoverville Roadhouse produced some of the most compelling evidence we’ve ever captured, and we can’t think of a better setting to share it than America’s oldest operating drive-in theater.”
