Details
Tinker Swiss Cottage Ghost Hunt | Rockford, Illinois Saturday, November 21 | 6:00PM – 12:00AM CT $129 per person Built in 1865. Occupied by one family for seventy-five years. Every piece of furniture, every painting, every diary, every item of clothing still inside. Multiple family members died in these rooms. Their funerals were held in the parlor. The Tinker family never left. Mary Tinker has been seen walking the upstairs hallways in period dress. She died of tuberculosis in the second-floor bedroom — the most active room in the house. Men who enter her room report an immediate and oppressive sense of unease. The Red Room, where multiple family members took their last breath, produces full-bodied apparitions, jiggling doorknobs, and intense waves of nausea. In the library, pennies fall from the ceiling and strike investigators. The heavy door slams shut on its own. In the basement, servants' footsteps still echo and the spirits are known to shush the living. The Cottage sits on a limestone bluff above Kent Creek. A Pre-Columbian burial mound sits on the grounds. A cemetery once stood across the road. Featured on SyFy's Ghost Hunters, Ghost Lab, and Jack Osbourne's Night of Terror. Limestone. Water. Ancient burial grounds. A house full of the dead's belongings. If there is a formula for a haunting, Tinker Swiss Cottage has every ingredient. Your ticket includes: 🔦 A full night of ghost hunting with the Haunted Rooms America team 🔦 Exclusive after-hours access across all floors, the basement, and the grounds 🔦 Group vigils and solo exploration opportunities 🔦 Professional-grade paranormal equipment provided 🔦 Snacks and refreshments throughout the night 18+ only (16–17 with a responsible adult) Tickets are extremely limited.
