Paranormal Investigation: Occidental
Pioneer settlers, cattle barons, outlaws — The Occidental Hotel was the last stop of civilization.
Who knows what the historic hotel witnessed since its founding in 1880?
While the ghosts of pioneers may haunt the halls of the Occidental, the ghost of Emily, a young girls, is said to inhabit the hotel.
Find out in this special investigation. The owners are allowing access for a public paranormal investigation guided by real ghost hunters for first time ever.
— Any guest staying at the Occidental Hotel (room is separate from event ticket) will have the ability to wander freely, walking in the hotel, lobby and saloon at any time of your stay.
— Dinner and investigation: Be treated like a president with fine dining Virginian Restaurant and a glass of wine before the paranormal investigation. Choice of Prime Rib, Salmon, or Chicken.
— The Occidental’s Saloon, including the original bullet holes, will be open.
The event will start with or after (depending on ticket) in the old theater across from the Occidental, with a movie premiere on how to catch a ghost, use the equipment, and most of all a brush-up on the hotel’s and local history. After the movie and brief Q&A, participants will divide into smaller groups and head over to the hotel for the investigation.
Bring trigger items to aid the investigation. Be mindful, this hotel have been lovingly restored. The owners spared no expense to renovate, and most of the furniture is period pieces. This hotel is a true living museum, which also means ghosts see it as if they never left.
