FAQ
Not everyone begins as a seasoned investigator or a ghost tour enthusiast, but we all have to start somewhere. When evaluating a location, several factors come into play, such as noise levels, lighting conditions, surroundings, types of paranormal phenomena, physical accessibility, familiarity with terminology, pricing, and more.
We highly advise following the order of experience or difficulty when joining our tours. That’s why we’ve established different levels.
Typically, more seasoned ghost enthusiasts opt for higher-level experiences. It’s crucial for everyone to grasp the basics of paranormal investigation, ensuring everyone’s on the same page. Each venue holds its uniqueness. Starting from the beginning provides a solid foundation for more enriching experiences. However, regardless of your expertise, all are welcome to join any experience they prefer.
The most frequent reason for not receiving our email confirmation is that it may have ended up in your spam or junk folder. Please check there first if you haven’t received it.

Each tour is tailored to suit the attendees, with no predefined script. Our tour guides aim to craft a unique experience for each group. This means you can embark on the same tour multiple times and encounter something different each time.
To ensure everyone’s enjoyment and safety during our tours and events, we have strict policies regarding smoking and alcohol consumption.
Smoking, as well as being under the influence of alcohol, have proven to be highly disruptive during tours and lockdown events. While we want everyone to have a fantastic time, excessive alcohol consumption before a tour/lockdown can lead to disturbances. Therefore, we cannot permit anyone with alcohol on their person during the tour/lockdown itself. We aim to maintain an atmosphere where all participants can engage and enjoy their experience without interference.
Additionally, smoking, including the use of vapor pens, is not permitted during our tours/lockdowns. Smoke can create anomalies in photographs, often mistaken for supernatural phenomena. Furthermore, some individuals may be sensitive to smoke, and in certain venues like Black Star Canyon, smoking poses a significant fire hazard and liability.
We take our no-smoking and alcohol policy seriously, reserving the right to refuse service or admission to anyone who does not comply. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in ensuring that everyone in attendance has a memorable and enjoyable time!
We advocate for a natural experience and cannot promise or deny encountering anything paranormal during our tours.
Numerous patrons have reported unexplained occurrences. Please recognize that such experiences are beyond our control. When applicable, we furnish you with the necessary tools and lead you to notable areas, but we cannot assure paranormal activity.
