HAUNTINGS & HISTORY NIGHTS

Unveil the Secrets: Hauntings & History Await You at The Felt Estate this Fall!

Dare to venture into the realm of the unknown as we resurrect Hauntings & History Nights at the enigmatic Felt Estate this autumn! Whispers of ghostly tales have enveloped the estate for ages, and now, an extraordinary opportunity awaits - the chance to uncover the truth behind the chilling legends.

Hauntings & History Unveiled Presentation

Embark on a journey through time as the estate's rich history and spine-tingling supernatural phenomena intertwine. This year's experience begins in the chapel where those who have personally confronted the spectral mysteries share their encounters, sending shivers down your spine.

Path of Shadows: Illuminated by Candlelight*

Step into a realm cloaked in darkness, illuminated by the enchanting glow of candles. Explore the estate's hidden corners – the mansion, the carriage house, the sprawling grounds – as they come alive with the secrets of the past. During this mesmerizing 90-minute self-guided expedition, access areas rarely revealed to the public. And for those with a penchant for mingling with the ethereal, arm yourself with your EMF detector, infrared thermometer, or REM Pod and partake in your very own ghostly quest.

Tickets are sold out - advance purchase is required, no tickets will be available at the door.
