Spend the night investigating the Fairfield County Infirmary during an immersive ghost hunt that blends hands-on exploration with the site’s layered past. Participants explore areas known for heightened activity while experienced paranormal investigators offer guidance on evidence gathering and how to read subtle signs of a possible presence. Small groups help keep the experience focused and personal, and the investigation extends through rarely seen parts of the building. Tools such as EMF meters, spirit boxes, and thermal imagers are part of the instruction, and historical background adds context to what may unfold. Reports connected to the infirmary include disembodied voices, figures that appear at the edge of vision, abrupt pockets of cold, the unexplained movement of objects, a persistent sense of being watched, and strong emotional traces in certain rooms. Refreshments are available through the night, and designated rest areas provide a place to pause between sessions. The experience is for adults 18 and older. The cost is $129 per person and capacity is limited. Sturdy, comfortable footwear, warm layers, and a reliable flashlight are recommended, and personal investigation gear is welcome. A sleeping bag or camping mat can make breaks in the rest areas more comfortable. This is a demanding setting in an aging structure, so participants should be prepared for physical and emotional challenges and remain mindful of potential hazards.

Experience an overnight paranormal investigation inside Fairfield County Infirmary, a historic site long associated with lingering memories and a charged atmosphere. Once a place of refuge and final passage for many, it is known for accounts of soft, source-less voices, quick shadowy movement, sudden cold spots, objects that seem to shift without explanation, a persistent sensation of being observed, and emotional weight that settles in certain areas. Through the night, participants explore some of the most active and rarely seen spaces in small groups alongside experienced investigators who demonstrate methods for documenting unexplained activity. Hands-on segments use tools such as EMF meters, spirit boxes, and thermal imaging while teaching how to read subtle signs and gather evidence. The building’s past is interwoven with the investigation, adding context to the stories tied to its corridors. Refreshments are available to keep energy up during the long hours, and quiet areas are set aside for rest between sessions. Plan for extended time on your feet in a chilly, aging structure. Wear sturdy shoes, dress in warm layers, bring a reliable flashlight, and consider any personal gear you trust. A sleeping bag or camping mat can make breaks more comfortable. Admission is $129 per person and capacity is limited. Attendees must be 18 or older. This experience can be physically and emotionally demanding, and the site includes hazards typical of an older building. Participation is at your own risk and personal belongings are your responsibility.
