Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE SITE

Explore an old hospital through six floors of history and rumor

The investigation gains access to all six floors of the main building, offering a rare inside look at the site’s layout, rooms, and the stories that accompany them.

THE GEAR

Hands‑on paranormal equipment supplied

A suite of investigative tools is available to participants, letting you use industry‑standard detectors and recorders during the hunt.

THE FORMAT

Small groups with room to roam

Tours are intentionally limited to a compact group size, creating an intimate investigative environment where participants can explore on their own or request a volunteer for more detailed context.

What the day feels like

What the three hours feel like

The evening opens with a briefing that covers the hospital’s past and reports of paranormal activity, then shifts to free exploration: you’ll move through the building at your own pace, test equipment, take photos, and pursue anything unusual that shows up on the devices.

Suitability

3
Not suitable for intoxicated guestsThe operator does not permit intoxicated people on tours; participants must attend sober.

Anyone valuing an intimate experienceIf you prefer a hands‑on, small‑group investigation rather than a crowded public event, this tour’s 10–15 person limit makes it a good match.
