Brace yourself for a brand-new experience in 2023! Black Creek Pioneer Village is without question one of the most active sites we tour. Over the years, our inquisitive ghost tour guests have been asking for a more immersive encounter with the eerie side of this extraordinary location. Join us for a spine-chilling paranormal adventure where intimate groups of 12 or fewer will have exclusive access to investigate three haunted heritage buildings – including the notorious Half Way House – in the dark! As we embark on this supernatural journey, we’ll be employing a diverse range of both ancient and modern techniques to attempt to establish contact with the lingering spirits that call the Village home.  Will any of them answer? Leave skepticism at the door and step into the world of the unexplained. ‘Alone in the Dark’ is as real as it gets, where even the spirits themselves can’t predict the outcome. Nothing is hidden or staged. This unforgettably eerie evening will delight ghost story enthusiasts, fearless paranormal investigators, history aficionados, urban explorers, and anyone with a curiosity about the unknown. Space is limited. All participants must be 18+. November dates added!
