Is it scary?

The GHOST TOUR is not an actor-filled haunted house. Although the tour is not designed to be scary, it is designed to be a bit spooky and you we occasionally encounter things that do make people jump. This is a real haunted building with multiple documented 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!

What can I expect on the 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.

How many people can go in at once?

The GHOST TOUR 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 absolutely >NEED more people on your tour, please contact us and we can discuss your options.

Will I see real spirits?

The GHOST TOUR is conducted by real psychics, and their information is verified scientifically 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 degree of paranormal activity.

What can I expect from the psychic reading?

Guests of our PSYCHIC READINGS can expect a wide array of experience, depending on the type of reading you choose. We offer traditional "cold" readings, runes, and tarot readings. 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.

Is it child-friendly?

A PSYCHIC READING is a serious spiritual activity, and is not typically 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.
