Experience the Paranormal
If things aren’t spooky enough during the day, you can visit the prison overnight. Start with a 90-minute guided tour, and the rest of the night is your own. If you are searching for paranormal activities or just want to experience the penitentiary at night, here is your chance.
Include a maximum of twenty (20) ghost hunters, or come all by yourself, to seek out the spirits that live here. PPIs are available only on select nights! Please note, we do not have paranormal events in mid-September throughout October due to our Halloween events.
We require a minimum non-refundable deposit amount of $349 + tax/fees. The remaining balance ($750 + tax/fees) will be due no later than 30 days before your event. Once your deposit has been paid, and our calendar is updated, we will invoice you separately for the remaining balance through PayPal Invoicing. You do not have to have a PayPal account to view and pay the remaining balance on the invoice. Please ensure when booking that you enter your contact information in full and correctly. You are also welcome to call our office at 304-845-6200 to make a payment over the phone. Office hours are normally Monday through Friday from 9am until 4pm.
