Rather than simply listening to stories, guests take an active role by conducting experiments, operating equipment, and searching for potential paranormal activity throughout the fort’s historic, low-light spaces. Guides provide historical context, demonstrate investigative techniques, and help interpret any findings along the way.
Every investigation is unique, unscripted, and driven by real-time exploration. While unexplained experiences are possible, no paranormal activity or specific outcomes can be guaranteed.

Working alongside your guide and fellow investigators, you’ll use Spirit Boxes, Dowsing Rods, EMF Detectors, REM Pods, Cat Balls, Infrared Thermometers, and other tools to conduct your own investigation while learning about the people who lived, worked, fought, and died at Fort William Henry.
