Haunted Bluffs: Session 4 -The Bregant House (HAUNT-01)
October 19th 7PM-9PM
Built in 1912 and custom designed for its owners Jean and Inez Bregant, who stood 45 and 42 inches tall the Bregant House at 517 South Fourth Street is unlike any other historic property in Council Bluffs. Every feature was scaled to their stature: the fireplace mantle, doorknobs, light switches, windows, and bathtub were all built smaller than standard. Locals called it "the doll house." Inez lived alone in the home for 25 years after Jean's death in 1944, until her own passing in 1969. Tonight's investigation is the first formal paranormal investigation ever conducted at the Bregant House. Your findings here become part of the historical record.
