What To Expect
Step into the shadowy world of the supernatural at the historic Anderson County Jail in Palestine, Texas — known locally as the Texas Jail House. Palestine was established in 1846, and this triangular lot has witnessed 179 years of history, from a Western-era shoot-out and hangings to decades as a working county jail. The current three-story art deco building was constructed in 1931 on the foundation of the original 1880 jail, and stands on a site that housed prisoners for over 135 years.
Guests will have access to professional ghost detection equipment — including an EMF meter, REM-Pod, spirit box, and night vision goggles — to actively search for paranormal activity across the lobby, second, and third floors, including the disorienting Catwalk, The Cage, and the isolation cells. This is an overnight investigation running 5:00 PM to 11:00 AM, giving guests plenty of time to explore the jail's spooky past and local legends.
