Inside Mill Creek Prison
Mill Creek Prison Correctional Facility was “officially” closed in the 2021 after one final incident, that is still classified by the state to this very day.
During a late-night lockdown drill, emergency response teams arrived to find officers shaken, several inmates unresponsive, and a ritual symbol burned in the concrete of Cell Block D.
Since its closure, Mill Creek Prison has become a top-tier destination for paranormal investigators, psychics, and thrill-seekers.

Voted Best Haunted House
“Super fun! Even better than last year!! Do your own research on the building and hill it’s located on. That alone is disturbing. characters did good job keeping us on edge and amused. special effects were tastefully creepy. 👍 Looking forward to Christmas haunt if they do it again this year!!“
“The amazing location of being held in an actual old jail really added to the experience! The first one on the 3rd floor was our favorite, it was really big and had great sounds and jump scares. Not as gory as I thought but the actors really got into it and there were a lot of great scares. Definitely would recommend!”
“Went on a double tour haunted prison ghost tour and the Halloween scare. You will not be disappointed all the actors are well suited for their roles. The whole place is next level creepy and unnerving. Fascinating history. Highly recommend taking family and friends for an outing well thought out course, they take you in small groups for full experience. Well worth the price of admission. Highly recommend and can’t wait to go back.“
