Is it scary?
THE HOTEL: This is an intense interactive haunted attraction designed
to take you to the limits of your own fear. On average, only
about 40% of our guests make it past the first room. Read one of our
guest reviews for yourself:
I literally thought I was gonna have a heart attack. There
was so much I wasn’t prepared for. The scariest experience
of my life!
GHOST TOUR: This is not an actor-filled haunted house, and is not
designed to be scary. This is a real haunted building with multiple
occurences of paranormal activity, and sometimes the spirits do get
playful and tend to startle guests. We've even had several guests
whose tour became so intense that they couldn't even finish the tour!
Is it different from last year?
The theme of THE HOTEL changes every year and for every season.
If you've seen us before, expect a new experience this season!
What can I expect on the Ghost Tour?
We tour the upper two floors of the hotel. The building is still in the state
it was in when it was abandoned in the 1940's. There is no electricity
on these floors. There will be at least two guides on your tour to direct
you through the hotel with flashlights. We ask that you do not bring your own flashlights as
it diminishes the experience. You will need to be able to climb three flights
of stairs, and if you book the extended tour, you also need to be able to
climb up and down through a hole in the wall. As for the experience, expect dark,
creepy rooms and hallways, dark shadows moving around, and unexplained noises
as the spirits find various ways to make their presence known.
Is it handicapped accessible?
THE HOTEL: The Hotel is not handicapped accessible. Some of the
passageways are very narrow and not able to accommodate a wheelchair.
The attraction is on the first floor of the building, and therefore
may be accessible for some people.
GHOST TOUR: The ghost tour is not handicapped accessible.
We tour the upper two floors of the hotel. There is no electricity on the upper
floors of the building and thus, no elevator. For the ghost tour,
you will need to be able to climb a total of three flights
of stairs, and if you book the extended tour, you also need to be able to
climb up and down through a hole in the wall.
Any group discounts?
Yes! We offer a 10% discount off of any ticket price for groups of 15 or
more people. Please contact us directly by
email or
Facebook messenger
to book your group.
What about refunds?
There are no refunds. All sales are final. If you are too scared
to finish your tour, inform the nearest security person and they
will escort you to the closest exit. Once you exit, you will
need a new ticket if you decide to try again.
Where can I park?
There is a free public parking lot directly across the road from
the hotel.
Do you close for rain?
All of our attractions are indoor. Rain does not prevent us
from operating. If there is a small waiting time to enter, you may
wait inside our lobby. If there is a long line, you can
wait in your car and we will text you when it is your time
to enter.
Can I record or film?
THE HOTEL: The use of recording devices are strictly prohibited.
This includes cell phones, video cameras, digital or flash photography, audio
recordings, etc. You will be removed from the attraction without
a refund if you are found using one of these devices.
GHOST TOUR: The use of recording devices to film your tour is
strictly prohibited. You may however record small video and audio clips
for the purpose of the paranormal investigation. We also encourge you to
take pictures throughout the tour as you can sometimes capture paranormal
evidence in your pictures.
PSYCHIC READING: We ask that you do not bring electronic devices
of any kind into your reading because they can disrupt the reading.
Filming Disclaimer
By entering into the Garrett Hotel building, you automatically agree
to be filmed for any and all media purposes known now or to be
developed, into perpetuity, without compensation or acknowledgement.
Can I have my special event here?
Certainly! We'll be glad to host your special event at The Garrett.
Please contact us directly by
email or
Facebook messenger
to book your group.
How many people can go in at once?
THE HOTEL: We can accommodate a maximum of 6 people per group.
Having more people diminishes the experience and makes it hard to
move through the attraction.
GHOST TOUR: We can accommodate a maximum of 6 people per group.
Having more people tends to be disruptive to the investigation and
negatively affects the experience. If you NEED more people on your
tour, please contact us and we can discuss your options.
Will I see real spirits?
THE HOTEL: This is an actor-filled haunted house, located inside a
real haunted building. It is possible that you may encounter
a REAL ghost while inside.
GHOST TOUR: This tour is conducted by real psychics, and their
information is verified using paranormal detection equipment. The
tour is designed to uncover REAL ghost activity. Spirits are
unpredictable, and so we cannot guarantee any paranormal activity
on your tour however, every tour we have conducted in the past
has experienced some form of activity.
What can I expect from the psychic reading?
You can expect a wide array of experience, depending on the type of reading
you choose. We offer tarot reading, runes, and traditional psychic reading.
In most situations, the spirit realm decides what information you will
receive based on your individual need. You may be able to communicate with
a loved one who has crossed over. You may receive answers to questions
about your life path or you may receive direction on your spiritual
journey. Despite the outcome, we will attempt to direct your reading to
your desired goal, but ultimately the spirits are in control.
If you wish to attempt to make contact with a loved one, please
bring an item with you which belonged to them.
Can I bring someone with me for the psychic reading?
The psychic reading is an individualized experience. The best results
will occur when you meet alone with your psychic and any of their
assistants. Ultimately the spirits choose whom and how they wish to
communicate, and having extra people in the room with you could cause
the reading to become focused on them at any time. As such, if you
wish to have someone accompany you, then you will
need to book the Psychic Reading for Two.
Will I be touched?
THE HOTEL: This is an interactive haunted house. YES! The actors may touch you
but are not allowed to touch them. Anyone doing so will be removed from the attraction without a refund.
GHOST TOUR: There are no scare-actors on the tour, however we have had numerous
reports of guests being touched by the spirits... a brush on the
neck or arm, or in some cases pushed, or even yanked back against
the wall!
Is it child-friendly?
THE HOTEL: This is an intense haunted house and is not recommended for
children under the age of 15. Children under the age of 15 must be accompanied
by a parent or guardian. We caution parents to be certain any child under
15 years of age is ready for our haunt.
GHOST TOUR: This is a serious paranormal investigation and is not
intended for children. Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied
by a parent or guardian. We caution parents to be certain any child
under 18 years of age is ready for this type of activity.
PSYCHIC READINGS: This is a serious spiritual activity, and is
not intended for children. Children under the age of 16 must be
accompanied by a parent or guardian, and you must book a the psychic
reading for both people since we have no control over with whom the spirits
choose to interact.
What about health conditions?

individuals with a heart condition, seizure disorder, or asthma. Strobe
lights, fog effects, and many other implements which can cause distortion
of sight and sound are used.
