Public Ghost Hunts
November 27, 2021 @ 7:00 pm
OSR offers a unique collaboration of ghost hunting skill levels through public hunts. Based on your personal skill level with investigating the paranormal, our guides will split participants into three groups. (Equipment rentals suspended temporarily.)
For Beginners:
Our ghostly guides will show you how to test the limits of paranormal investigating, including interaction with entities or spirits, documenting encounters, and basic use of ghost hunting equipment as we take you on a tour of the decommissioned prison.
For Intermediate:
Interested investigators are welcome to join a knowledgeable tour guide on a 1-hour tour of the facility to better understand the footprint of the building and to hear the stories of the most documented hot-spots.
For Advance Repeat Visitors:
Begin your investigation in areas that are known for their paranormal activity.
