Join us for an UNFORGETTABLE paranormal investigation at the MAGNIFICENT Ringling House – Wisconsin’s most SPECTACULAR haunted mansion where the spirits of America’s greatest showmen REFUSE to take their final bow!
THE BIG TOP’S BIGGEST SECRETS REVEALED!
Built in 1901 by CHARLES RINGLING – one of the legendary five brothers who created “The Greatest Show on Earth” – this opulent Greek Revival mansion stands as a HAUNTING testament to the incredible rags-to-riches story that became America’s greatest circus dynasty!
From charging PINS for backyard performances to becoming some of the WEALTHIEST people in the United States, the Ringling Brothers’ success story is written in every lavish detail of this extraordinary mansion! Five bathrooms when only 10% of homes had indoor plumbing, electricity, gas lighting, a FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM, intercom network, and an ELEVATOR installed in 1915!
But SUCCESS couldn’t shield this family from HEARTBREAK, TRAGEDY, and DEATH – creating the perfect storm for PARANORMAL ACTIVITY that continues to this day!
MEET THE MANSION’S TRAGIC STARS!
The spirits of Ringling House aren’t just ANY ghosts – they’re PERFORMERS, tricksters, and eternal residents who lived lives of EXTRAORDINARY drama and adventure!
🎭 SALLY RINGLING – The mansion’s TRAGIC LEADING LADY whose sorrowful story reads like a GOTHIC NOVEL! Lost her father young, watched her brother DIE at 23 in a car crash, saw her Formula 1 race car driver fiancé KILLED before their wedding, then lost her RAF pilot husband in a PLANE CRASH! Sally’s troubled soul sought solace in smoking and drinking, making her EXTRAORDINARILY sensitive to the spirit world before suffering her FINAL STROKE in the bathroom doorway of what is now the mansion’s MOST HAUNTED ROOM!
📚 ALFRED THEODORE RINGLING – The scholarly spirit who was both CIRCUS PERFORMER and accomplished author! This intellectual ghost maintains his presence in the mansion’s library, demonstrating an apparent fondness for books and SUPERNATURAL COMMUNICATION!
👻 THE MYSTERIOUS MAID – An unidentified female spirit dressed as a period servant who CONTINUES tending to the mansion’s needs in the AFTERLIFE!
🎩 OTTO RINGLING – The enigmatic lifelong bachelor and financial mastermind behind the circus empire who occasionally makes his presence known from Room Six where he stayed during earthly visits!

We just completed the WY. Frontier Prison tour. We had a blast! Loved how they let you roam freely at the end of the night. Also, the use of their equipment & the snacks and refreshments provided are an added perk. Would highly recommend!
Just did a tour at battleship North Carolina and the night can’t be beat. Most definitely one of the most haunted places in NC.
My husband and I just toured the USS North Carolina Battleship this past Saturday. We had an AMAZING experience! Immediately booked another tour for the Bellamy Mansion and ordered paranormal equipment to use. Can’t wait til the next haunt!!!
We investigated the USS William A. Irvin in Duluth MN. It was a great experience, everyone was super friendly and helped whenever they could! if you are debating on signing up. Just do it! we had alot of fun!
Investigated Mortuary Manor in Toledo with my daughter. The guides were extremely knowledgeable about the equipment and different techniques to attempt to communicate with spirits. The owner was very very nice and was actively trying to help in any way he could. We had a very small group of 5 so we had the run of the place. It was a lot of fun and I definitely recommend to anyone interested in the paranormal. We definitely had some activity during the night. The experience made me want to try out other locations if I can. There were a few graduation parties going on in the area the night I was there so, I’d like to go back and see what I can find when it’s a little more quiet in the beginning of the night but it was a great experience!
Bought this as a gift to my brother. I went in not expecting much but had a great time at Valerie Hill winery. We caught some pretty cool stuff and he had a great Estes session. Highly recommend.
Everything was well organized and smooth. There was no gimmick, it started off as a quiet night paranormal wise, maybe because there was a long game of soccer going on right outside. Nothing to be done about that. Mid-Orange Correctional facility is now also part sports complex. The guides demonstrate tools used for investigating and even though the night started quiet, they didn’t hype up every little sound. They debunked sounds and explained what to look for. By 1am my husband and I ran into a group that came with their own equipment and had returned to a spot they had previously had activity. They welcomed us to join them and my EMF meter flew to red pretty steadily. They brought out the dowsing rod and it pointed at me directly so I was asked if I would hold it. I have never really understood how people don’t move the rods themselves. When I held it I realized there is a sleeve on the handle. So you’re not touching the rod. The rod was very responsive and corresponded with the EMF consistently for a few minutes. Anyway, what I liked most is it seems like the community cares. Everyone in the group checked in on my comfort. It was my favorite part of the night.
My son and I had a truly unforgettable experience at the Rock Island Roadhouse. The team that ran this event were all very knowledgeable of the history of the location as well as all of the equipment that they use. There were I think around 50 people total that attended and they broke us out into 4 separate groups. The first 4 hours of the night that were spent in the group setting taking turns with each team member didn't have much activity going on, however, once we were able to explore on our own the last 2 hours, we had some AMAZING activity! We even picked up what sounded like two whispering words in response to our questions! I highly recommend this group!
Did the Battleship North Carolina on April 3rd. I've already booked again for August. The hosts (Both physical and spiritual) were amazing. Recorded several EVP's throughout the night. Some very strong responses with dousing rods. Always skeptical about them, but there were strong responses, especially when we started talking to them like the military members they were. At one point I asked if they wished they had women on Battleships, he replied with a strong "Yes" and my Ghost Box replied with the word "Seductive". He really liked one of the young ladies with us. Turns out she was 18 and he was 20 when he died. Can't wait to do this again!
Just did a tour with this group on the Battleship North Carolina. Absolutely wonderful experience!! My husband and I will definitely be booking again. The leaders are super nice, respectful, and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend!!
