Experience the Paranormal
If things aren’t spooky enough during the day, you can visit the prison overnight. Start your 6 hours with a 90-minute guided tour, and then 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 50% deposit to hold your date. The remaining balance will be due no later than 30 days before your event. Private Paranormal Investigations are non-refundable and cannot be transferred to another date throughout the season or any future seasons. Once booked, if you cannot attend for any reason, you will not be given a refund or the ability to transfer to another date.
Once your deposit has been paid, and our calendar is updated, we will invoice you separately for the remaining balance through PayPal Invoicing. Please check your junk/spam folders.
