It is said the veil between the spirit world and our world is at the thinest on Halloween. We invite you to join us as we put this to the test! We have had some amazing evidence captured on Halloween night for the past several years!
The Old Paulding Jail was featured as the two hour season premier of The Travel Channel's paranormal show, "Portals to Hell", starring Jack Osbourne and Katrina Weidman.
Join us and the resident spirits of the Old Paulding County jail for a fantastic evening of ghost hunting. Do not miss the opportunity to possibly catch some amazing evidence!
We have included a Seance session option in the basement this year led by psychic medium Christopher Jansen! Tickets are very limited for the Seance!
187 P.I.  paranormal investigations and research team will lead you on this night of ghost hunting. Feel free to bring any ghost hunting equipment you may have with you so that you may possibly take home some evidence. We are sorry however, we will not be allowing any CCTV camera setups. This is for safety reasons.
Through our continuous research at the Old Paulding County Jail, we have become quite friendly with the resident spirits. Several of which interact and or communicate with us every time we are in the jail. We invite you to experience some of this paranormal activity for yourselves.
