This is not a ghost tour. It is a guided paranormal investigation, and YOU are part of it. Over two hours, we’ll explore four heated heritage buildings: the old church, the schoolhouse, the train station, and the family home. With the village closed to the public and only a handful of guests exploring after dark, the experience feels immersive, quietly eerie, and far removed from an ordinary night out.

Along the way, our expert hosts will guide you through paranormal experiments using both ancient and modern techniques. You will listen closely. You will observe carefully. You will decide for yourself what, if anything, still lingers there.

Some guests come for the thrill. Some for the atmosphere. Some because they have always been curious about what they cannot explain. What they share is curiosity and the willingness to find out. Nothing is staged. Nothing is guaranteed. That is what makes Alone in the Dark so compelling.

6 nights remain.

Spaces are limited. Reserve your spot now. Nights are few. Participants must be 16+. Choose curiosity over fear. Join us in the dark.

"We attended 'Alone in the Dark' and it was like stepping into another world. The host was fantastic, setting realistic expectations while leading us through chilling paranormal activities. It's not your typical ghost tour—everything felt so real and spontaneous!"

Questions?

As we don’t use tricks or special effects, we cannot guarantee activity. However, given the haunted history of the Village and the activities we will be undertaking, it is more than possible. Each group will have a different and completely unpredictable experience.

We are extremely lucky to have exclusive access to four buildings.

No prior experience is required! Our Hosts will walk you through every step, from the use of equipment to the techniques we employ. This event is perfect for beginners and seasoned investigators alike.

Absolutely. While the event takes place in dark and eerie settings, guest safety is our top priority. All activities are carefully planned, and our Hosts are experienced professionals ensuring a safe and enjoyable evening for everyone.

As we will be doing a variety of different techniques and methods we would prefer you use the tools and equipment we will be sharing with you. Many of the things you will learn can be applied to future investigations. 

Alone in the Dark is not about jump scares or cheap thrills. We are going deeper than that. This experience is a thoughtful and interactive evening inside an incredible and historic haunted landmark, where we will consider the nature of hauntings and reach out into the abyss.

To keep the experience intimate and personal, each investigation is limited to a maximum of 12 guests. Due to the small group size and exclusive access to the site, tickets are very limited.

Sadly due to the age of the heritage buildings, this experience is not accessible.
