The Chimczuk Museum has kicked of the season of fright with its Haunted Halloween Tour.
More than 45 people made it out for the sold out show centred on family fun and a few scares.
That's according to Program and Education Coordinator Matthew Pritchard.
He says there are creepy items with all kinds of legends from the Detroit River region and early French folklore on display from area museums.
"We're going to be highlighting some of the creepy artifacts in our main gallery and a couple in our temporary galleries, including Canada Waterscapes and the Rotary Club of 1918," he says.
Pritchard says everything from antique dolls that are known to move themselves in storage and human hair will be on show.
"We're looking at some of the gallows from the Sandwich Towne Jail. We have an entire wreath made of [human] hair, and our biggest item, we may even have a letter from a local serial killer from back in the '40s," says Pritchard.
The headline item is letters written by Ronald Sears, Windsor's first known serial killer.
Pritchard says Sears was active from 1945 to 1946 and was called a "Jack the Ripper" style killer by investigators.
"He had five victims including three that he actually killed with a knife and this was a letter that was sent to the police, sort of apologizing for what he's done," he says. "He was caught right after this and ended up serving 12-years in prison where he died."
All proceeds from the exhibit go back to the museum to fund future events.
