-
What do I need to bring if I spend the night at the Inn?Our accommodations normally do not offer creature comforts like A/C or central heating for paranormal investigations; there are limited electrical outlets and candle lighting, etc. So, you may want to bring your own bedding suitable for sleeping on the ballroom floor. You can also camp out in the milk barn. This works great for ghost hunting because it eliminates background interference with recording/monitoring equipment.

Are ghost hunting guides available for hire?Yes. We have experienced investigators, who will be happy to accommodate your request for guidance. Guides/investigators and equipment are available for an additional charge
