Public Paranormal Investigation

Step into history and mystery with a guided paranormal investigation at the George Taylor House, home of Declaration of Independence signer George Taylor.

Your ticket includes:

• A brief history of the house, highlighting stories of its active paranormal areas.
• Small group ghost hunting rotations through the property lead by George Taylor House Paranormal Committee Investigators and includes ares such as the cellar, attic, and other historically significant rooms.
• Access to the newly accesible Winter Kitchen, reopened for investigations.

The George Taylor House has been featured on Ghost Hunters (Travel Channel / Discovery+). Members of our team of investigators have attended seminars with respected figures in the field such as Dustin Pari, John Zaffis, and Brian Cano, and with one contining to study the science of the paranormal — including parapsychology under Brian Cano himself. As a team, we’ve investigated numerous historic locations, focusing on education, respectful exploration, and a methodical approach that emphasizes debunking while remaining open to the unexplained. Some of our investigators also bring intuitive abilities to help guide and interpret investigations, while keeping the focus on history, research, and credible results.
