Ever wanted to be a ghost hunter? Join the crew of the Long Island Paranormal Investigators as we spend the night exploring the 1843 Rogers Mansion and find out what it really takes to be a Paranormal Investigator. You will get a chance to participate in experiments to test various paranormal theories, learn about the paranormal, hear great spooky stories and maybe even leave with one of your own.
This year things will be a bit different than normal with new restrictions for the program to keep all guests, museum staff and LIPI members safe during the COVID crisis while still having a fun time.
Tour Itinerary
Each night there will be 3 blocks of tours that can accommodate up to 6 guests. These tours begin at the start of every hour with a 45 minute guided tour of the interior of the Rogers Mansion. There will be 3 designated areas for guests to visit that have been hot spots for paranormal activity in the past. These locations include the second floor exhibit hallway where footsteps are regularly heard, the first floor Music Room where shadow figures have been seen moving about and the basement where all of the above and more has happened. After 45 minutes guests will be brought outside where they will be taken around the yard for another 30 minutes to tour the exterior of the grounds and an outbuilding or two.
COVID Guidelines
Below are the rules for guests and what we are doing to ensure this program is as safe as can be for all those involved
-
Guests will be administered a temperature check upon arrival via a contactless thermometer (temperatures over 99.5 degrees fahrenheit will be asked to leave)
-
Mask use will be strictly enforced while inside any and all structures and when outside when social distancing cannot be followed
-
Guests will have their hands sprayed with hand sanitizer before entering the Rogers Mansion
-
Upon entering, guests can choose to also wash their hands if they would like
-
After the 45 minute interior tours, commonly touched surfaces like door knobs and handrails will be sterilized along with the chairs set up in the designated investigation areas
-
You will not be able to use any of LIPI's ghost hunting equipment in a hands on manner, but if you wish to bring your own equipment you can
-
Upon arrival you will be asked to sign a liability waiver form due in part to walking around in the Rogers Mansion in the dark and due to the current COVID crisis
-
Failure to comply with any of the above will result in you being asked to leave and forfeiture of a refund
