The Asylum has had apparition sightings, unexplainable voices and sounds, and other paranormal activity reported in the past by guests, staff, SyFy's Ghost Hunters, Ghost Hunters Academy and the Travel Channel's Ghost Adventures. Step back in time and see how the mentally insane lived, and died, within these walls.
Thousands have been committed to the asylum over the years, and hundreds unfortunately died here. Decide for yourself if they’re still occupying the historic wards and treatment rooms.
Daytime tours of all four floors are available, but to take your Asylum experience to another dimension, call and schedule or purchase tickets online, for one of our evening tours. The paranormal tour, ghost hunt, or for the really adventurous, the private ghost hunt.
