Private Investigations

Private investigations run from 6PM to 10 AM. That’s 16 hours that the asylum belongs to you and your group to explore. One of our guides will meet you there and give you the grand tour, pointing out places of historic significance in the building as well as areas that are known for paranormal activity. If you have a special request to have a certain person be your guide for the night, just ask and we will do our best to accommodate you. 

We have waivers on site that everyone must sign in order to investigate.

Booking is easy. Call our manager, Kate, at 765-808-8730, and she can help get you all set to come to the Asylum for the history and the haunting.

  1. Check our availability calendar to see what days are already booked to make sure the date you want is available.   Investigation.

  2. We ask 50% down as a deposit when you book in order to hold your date on the calendar. If you are not able to provide the security deposit, we will not be able to hold the date. This rule is STRICT to prevent any confusion and double booking. Deposits are non-refundable. However, if something were to happen and you are unable to come on your scheduled date, we do allow reschedules. Please give us as much advance notice as possible. 

    You will receive an invoice to make your deposit payment, which is applied to your total balance. You will have a final payment of the remaining 50% due one week before your investigation date.
