We want everyone to have a good time when they come to Ashmore Estates but most importantly we want all to be safe. Recently we have had situations were people thought it was a good idea to come to the building partially intoxicated or drinking while they were on the grounds. We will not accept this type of behavior as it is not safe for anyone during the event.
Limited to 12 tickets.
These sell out quick so grab them while you can. July is sold out.
Private Overnight Investigations
We have had numerous teams investigate Ashmore Estates since we purchased it in May of 2014. If you have not been to Ashmore I think you will enjoy your experience there. Vast improvements have been done to the building to allow easier investigations. We are continuing to improve the location that has now been dedicated only to the history tours and paranormal investigations. In 2016 we built a room inside to reflect a bedroom and living room area. We repaired the top edge of the building that has was damage by the tornado in 2012. We also want to restore a hospital room on the third floor in 2017 to give it more of a historical feel. The private overnight investigations are $550 for up to 12 people from 7pm-10am. This includes the use of out bunk houses, 1 for every 4 members in your group. All three have 4 beds, electrical, TV & DVD player, heat, and AC. The large one also has a pull out couch, recliner, table and chairs and Netflix. There is a fire pit available as well and firewood may be available but not guaranteed, you can always bring your own or call in advance to check on it. Gas and charcoal grill are available as is the stove, refrigerator, microwave, pizza oven and coffee pot. There are 3 functioning bathrooms, weather permitting, 2 inside, and 1 outside for those tent camping. There is a shower also available as well. At this time we do not have maid service but who knows in the future. :)
For private investigation please check out our calendar for open dates.
We had a request from Edward from Over the Road Paranormal so thought we would share the info on our website so others would have it as well. Thanks Edward for asking about it, always glad to help investigators when we can. Click each photo to enlarge.
The two small bunk houses were built in the winter of 2015 and are 12x16. The large bunk house was built in July of 216 and is 20x20. The small ones rent for $50 and the large one $100 per night. These are included at no charge in your private investigation. Checkout is 10:00am, unless extenuating circumstances prevail. All bunks are equipped with 4 beds, AC, heat, ceiling fans, electrical, TVs, DVD players, and chairs. In addition the large unit has a pull out couch, recliner, stuffed chair and a table and chairs. We will have various DVDs available for your use in the event you have that someone with you that likes to visit locations but just does not want to run around in a dark building and investigate. Linen for the beds are not furnished, you will need a sleeping bag, blankets, and/or pillows. There is a fire pit by the bunk houses firewood may be available at times but can not guarantee it.

PARA ~ My group investigated last night and we had a lot of experiences. I wanted to let you know what those were, so you could share them with other guests if you would like. The 2nd floor was definitely the hot spot. We had a few spirit box responses on the 3rd floor, but on the second floor, we had other things as well. In addition to inelegant spirit box responses, we had several people who saw shadow figures and more significant, we had a lot of interactions in Hannah's room. We asked someone to make a noise and we heard a pebble be tossed. We actually found the pebble. We had this experience reoccur at least 4 times and every time, we would find a new pebble in the room. It was very interesting.
Danny ~ I just wanted to send a quick message and say THANK YOU for having my group at Ashmore Estates. Many in my group were new to investigating and have never experienced anything supernatural. I can safely say they believe or are much more open to believing. I was doing live audio editing there after every EVP session. We captured over 40EVPs and many intelligent responses on the spirit box. I made sure everyone was very polite to the spirits and we felt nothing evil. However my friend, a police officer, was grabbed on the leg and yelped and must’ve almost jumped through the ceiling! Right after a little boy came through the digital recorder and said “wanna play with me?”
Chuck ~ Drove here from NJ. I was there for a private overnight investigation on July 12 by myself and I had a fantastic time! Ashley gave a great tour which I appreciated very much for my first time there. I felt very comfortable moving around the building, had some good interaction, especially with my Trigger Dog. I would love to return again in the future!
