The heavy doors of the century-old hotel groan as they creak open, revealing a dimly lit room drenched in shadows. Dust clings to ornate light fixtures and faded wallpaper, whispering tales of a bygone era. As the group gathers, a chill brushes against your neck—not a draft, but something... different. The tour guide, a flashlight casting eerie beams that dance across the room, beckons you to step deeper into the hotel's labyrinthine corridors.

Equipped with EMF detectors, spirit boxes, and dousing rods, you clutch the ghost hunting gear tightly. Each beep and flicker sends jolts of adrenaline through the air. The guide recounts the spine-chilling tales of the hotel residents, who are still scurrying around in the dead of night, making sure the guests are being taken care of. As you approach the door, the devices hum faintly—a sign, perhaps, that you are not alone.

In the employee quarters, the atmosphere grows heavier, and the spirit box begins to crackle. Through the static, you hear it—a faint voice, a single word. The guide halts, eyes wide, as the group freezes in place. Is it your mind playing tricks, or have you truly made contact with the lingering spirits that call this place their home?

Every step, every sound, every shadow keeps you on edge. As the tour progresses, the line between the living and the spectral seems to blur, leaving you to wonder: when you leave this haunted hotel, will all the spirits remain behind?

We conduct private ghost tours throughout the year. Our ghost tours consist of paranormal investigations of the historic Garrett Hotel, which is over 100 years old, and is listed on the national historic register; and is also the building in which our haunted attraction is housed. The tours are conducted using professional ghost hunting equipment, which allows you to see fit yourself, the presence of spirit activity. The tours are private, with small groups, and guaranteed to be a unique experience!

******* PSYCHIC READINGS *******

Nightly from 7 - 10pm

(Psychic readings are not conducted on nights that the haunted attraction is open)

A private psychic reading at the historic Garrett Hotel is more than just fun — it’s a journey into the unknown. Conducted by one of our gifted, natural-born psychic mediums, each session offers a rare opportunity to connect with spirit guides and energies from the other side. These aren’t vague impressions. Our psychics specialize in delivering specific, validating messages — insights that often reveal hidden truths, personal revelations, and connections to loved ones long passed. Whether you’re seeking clarity, comfort, or curiosity, your reading will be tailored to you and your spiritual path.

The Garrett Hotel has seen tragedy, triumph, and things that defy explanation. When you sit down for your reading, you’re not just exploring your own path… you’re stepping into a place where the veil is thin, and the past is never silent. Now it’s your turn to experience the energy that lingers within. What will they say to you? Only one way to find out!
