  • How scary is the haunted house?

  • Can I add more people to my group? Are there group rates?

    You may not be able to go at the same time if you don’t book together. When purchasing an additional ticket, if you are not able to select the same time, then it is full. Choose the next available time slot, let us know upon arrival and we will do our best to at least split your group so no one goes alone. One single rate for all, no group rates.

  • Will my whole group be able to go together?

    Ensure that everyone tours together by having one person purchase all the tickets for your group instead of having everyone buy separately. Each person will get their own ticket and link to sign their own waiver in their email. Be sure to have each person’s email on hand when you’re ready to book.

  • What if I'm late and missed my tour start time?

    In the event that you miss your tour time, every effort will be made to reschedule you into a later tour time slot, but there are no guarantees and/or refunds. Tours start every 15 minutes.

2 Centuries of History

Echoes of the pAst

There is no doubt this land is alluring and dedicated to service. Since the inception of the Eden Seminary in 1850, if not longer, the lives lived and served here have been both beautiful and tragic. It is undeniable that, even today, people’s lives can change with just a quick visit. Sensitive individuals can feel the fulfillment and dissolution of past souls, many of whom yearn for their stories to be told and remembered.

We all want to be remembered, and cultures across the world use this time of year to do just that for the deceased. The first annual Emmaus Asylum is opening its doors in a memorable way this season. We will recreate its past stories through dramatization, using a historical fiction documentary approach in a live venue.

Additionally, the asylum offers a credible location for quantum physical, metaphysical, and paranormal investigation and research.
