A Weekend of Ghost Hunting, Haunted History, and Unexplained Activity
Each year, paranormal investigators, ghost story enthusiasts, and curious guests gather at the Crescent Hotel for a weekend dedicated to all things unexplained. Set inside one of the most haunted hotels in America, Eureka Springs Paranormal Weekend is a chance to explore the Crescent’s dark history through guided investigations, expert insights, and hands-on experiences.
This immersive event includes small group investigations, behind-the-scenes access, workshops, and exploration of the hotel’s most active areas—from the former morgue to long-forgotten spaces not featured on regular ghost tours. Guests are led by experienced investigators who have spent years studying the paranormal activity within these walls.
Whether you’re a seasoned ghost hunter or simply curious about the unknown, this weekend offers a rare opportunity to explore one of the most haunted hotels in the country—after dark, up close, and with a team by your side.
What to Expect
- Paranormal investigations in the most active areas of the Crescent Hotel
- Workshops, demonstrations, and Q&A sessions with experienced investigators
- Haunted history presentations and storytelling
- Behind-the-scenes access not offered on standard tours
- Overnight accommodations at the historic Crescent Hotel
As part of the weekend, guests also have the option to join a Lockdown investigation on the first night. This late-night experience offers exclusive access to the hotel after hours, with a smaller group and a deeper focus on active paranormal hot spots.
Eureka Springs Paranormal Weekend is held once a year and space is limited. If you’re looking for a real haunted hotel experience, this is your chance to investigate America’s Most Haunted Hotel from the inside out.
