How Trigger Objects Come to Life on our Investigations If you’ve ever been on one of our ghost tours or investigations, you know we love combining haunted history with hands-on experiences. Two of our favorite tools to use during the Everdark Express and Para4ce Investigations are what we call trigger objects – items designed to get the attention of spirits and invite interaction. Trigger objects are items we place in haunted spots to encourage a response from the other side. Think of them as gentle invitations – especially in places where spirits might feel shy or stuck in a different time. Let’s take a look at two of our guest’s favorite tours: The  Everdark Express and The Para4ce Investigation and how we use two of our favorite trigger objects in each: The Paranormal Music Box and the Teddy Pod. The…

The guests witnessed intelligent and direct interactions, making it one of our most interesting pieces of footage to date. Want to…

Brent’s Encounter in the Powder Room at The Dixie House Brent, one of our paranormal investigators, had a memorable experience with one of our permanent residents in The Dixie House that left him wondering what he had experienced. While flipping through a book in the Powder Room, he felt a mysterious touch on his leg. He was startled, since the old floorboards creaked behind him. The creepy sensation of being watched accompanied these experiences,  but when he turned around there was no one there. Was one of our permanent residents teasing him? Or perhaps something else? Encounters like Brent’s are what make The Dixie House a must-visit for paranormal enthusiasts. The Dixie House  has been the site of numerous ghostly experiences, and now, there’s even more to explore. We’re proud to announce the opening of The Parlor Room—an all-new area…

One of our tour guides was investigating the Dixie House with her group and later told us about an interesting experience she had. The Dixie House had been unusually quiet that evening. Veronika, one of our paranormal investigators, was leading a group through the house as part of the Everdark Express experience. The group had explored the house’s rooms, and were preparing to leave.. One of the guests excused themselves to visit the bathroom, leaving Veronika stationed near the camera equipment with another participant. While casually reviewing the footage and chatting, something on the monitor caught her attention. The camera positioned in the Powder Room, a space with a history of inexplicable phenomena, revealed a strange sight. A peculiar orb appeared on the screen—not the faint, fleeting kind often dismissed as dust or light reflections. This orb seemed to emerge…
