If you’re drawn to ghostly encounters and curious about Delaware’s haunted history, this October presents a unique opportunity. The Delaware County Historical Society is hosting paranormal tours at the Historic Jail & Sheriff’s Residence on 20 W Central Ave, Delaware, OH. With new dates added due to high demand, visitors will have more chances to explore the eerie halls where spirits are said to roam.
A Night of Hauntings and History
The Historic Jail & Sheriff’s Residence, a fixture in Delaware since its operational days, now serves as a reminder of times past—and perhaps a few lingering souls. The Tri-C Ghost Hunters, a well-known local paranormal group, will guide brave visitors through these haunted spaces. Participants can expect around three hours of spine-tingling tales, chilling experiences, and an in-depth look into the jail’s history and its residents—both those who lived and those who might never have left.
Tour Details and Schedule
Due to popular interest, the society has added two new dates:
- October 18 at 8:00 PM and 11:30 PM
- October 19 at 11:30 PM (late-night thrill seekers only!)
Each tour lasts about three hours, giving participants ample time to explore the premises under the careful watch of the Tri-C Ghost Hunters. Be prepared to stay late, as these nighttime tours end around midnight or later, when paranormal activity is thought to peak.
Important Information for Attendees
Tickets are $40 per person, and participants must be at least 16 years old to attend. Minors aged 16 or 17 are required to bring a parent or guardian. Tickets can be reserved through EventBrite, and spaces are limited due to the tour’s popularity. Interested parties are encouraged to sign up early to avoid disappointment.
