It has been many years since I last visited Historic Auto Attractions, and I need to change that ASAP, especially after learning that this museum is home to a "cursed" piece of entertainment history.

The James Dean Curse

James Dean was an American actor who died in a car crash on September 30, 1955, while he was driving his "cursed"  955 Porsche 550. Reports say that only one piece of Dean's Porsche still exists today, and it can be found at Historic Auto Attractions.

While this piece is incredibly unique, the dark story behind it is even more interesting...

Owning the last known piece of James Dean's Porsche is incredible for Historic Auto Attractions, but owner Wayne Lensing got a little more than he bargained for when acquiring the piece.

Paranormal Experiences at Historic Auto Attractions

I recently found an article from Haunted Rockford that said they, along with team members from the Midwest Ghost Investigators and Ghost Head Soup Paranormal Investigators, have been investigating Historic Auto Attractions for some time now, and what they have found is pretty spooky.

The article says;

The investigators have witnessed footsteps, disembodied voices, and EVPs in the museum. They have also picked up words on equipment that answer specific questions asked by the different team members. These results are very exciting and have led the members to believe that the museum is definitely haunted.
