The Hotel
The Hotel

The heavy doors of the century-old hotel groan as they creak open, revealing a dimly lit room drenched in shadows. Dust clings to ornate light fixtures and faded wallpaper, whispering tales of a bygone era. As the group gathers, a chill brushes against your neck—not a draft, but something... different. The tour guide, a flashlight casting eerie beams that dance across the room, beckons you to step deeper into the hotel's labyrinthine corridors.

Equipped with EMF detectors, spirit boxes, and dousing rods, you clutch the ghost hunting gear tightly. Each beep and flicker sends jolts of adrenaline through the air. The guide recounts the spine-chilling tales of the hotel residents, who are still scurrying around in the dead of night, making sure the guests are being taken care of. As you approach the door, the devices hum faintly—a sign, perhaps, that you are not alone.

In the employee quarters, the atmosphere grows heavier, and the spirit box begins to crackle. Through the static, you hear it—a faint voice, a single word. The guide halts, eyes wide, as the group freezes in place. Is it your mind playing tricks, or have you truly made contact with the lingering spirits that call this place their home?

Every step, every sound, every shadow keeps you on edge. As the tour progresses, the line between the living and the spectral seems to blur, leaving you to wonder: when you leave this haunted hotel, will all the spirits remain behind?

The Hotel

Haunted Attraction

Open from October through March.

We will be back in October for all new scares and an all new theme. We are the ONLY haunted attraction which actually changes our entire theme, every time we open! Plan to see us every month from October through March for a different experience everytime you come.

Voted as the #1 haunted attraction in North Carolina on NorthCarolinaHauntedHouses.com, The Hotel is an intense, interactive haunted attraction which will test the limits of your fear. The scare is different for every year and every season. Unique and unpredictable, this attraction will push you through new heights of fear... and yes, you will be touched.
Like it more extreme? You can purcase VIP tickets and get the ultimate experience!

An extreme experience is available for those who can brave a more demanding experience! (Available for ages 18 and up only)

Ghost Tours

Paranormal Investigations

Open all year.

Join us as we conduct private paranormal ghost investigations and reported paranormal activity at the historic Garrett Hotel. All tours will incorporate the use of EMF meters, spirit box, and other paranormal detection tools. No two tours are ever the same. Your tour could be anything from mild to wild. We've even had a few guests whose tour became so intense that they couldn't even finish! Will you encounter the otherworldly residents during your experience?

Psychic Readings

Connect With Spirits

Open all year.

Having a psychic reading done can be fun and exciting, and can reveal a lot about yourself. Your private reading will be performed by one of our natural born experienced psychic mediums here at the historic Garrett Hotel. All of our psychics have natural abilities to communicate with spirits and spiritual guides from the other side, many of which have specific messages and validating information to communicate to our clients.
