Unlucky 13 Paranormal Tour at Hell House
About this Event
On the 13th of the month, we delve into the mysteries of Hell House.
Embrace the superstitions and eerie ambiance of the Hell House film franchise, where the chilling number 13 is ever-present. Explore the paranormal phenomena that inspired the TV series, 24 Hours in Hell, and uncover the secrets of the Waldorf Estate of Fear—the former farmhouse and hotel that ignited it all. Nestled within the Lehigh Valley, this haunted location has recently revealed its storied past, thanks to newfound records from a descendant of the original landowner. Linked to the Haunted J*il in Jim Thorpe and the Gnad Huetten Massacre of 1745, this site is steeped in the haunted history of Carbon County. Paranormal researchers have compared their findings with historical documentation, offering a deeper look into the mysteries of the valley.
On March 13th, June 13th and November 13th, you are invited to experience a paranormal event where you can investigate the four floors and expansive grounds. From 7 PM to 3 AM, explore this living history solo for the first time.
Exclusive overnight tickets are available for those brave enough to stay at this haunted location. With limited spots on a first-come, first-served basis, bring your own bedding and prepare for a night like no other. Overnight guests can stay until 8 AM. The site, stripped mostly of props after the haunt season, offers a vast area to explore, including a basement, spacious floors, and an attic. An outdoor schoolhouse and haunted grounds add to the intrigue, but be wary of elemental spirits and the lingering Lenape presence.
For those opting not to stay overnight, nearby hotels offer comfort within a 15-minute drive from the Waldorf. For true Hell House enthusiasts, a reservation at Joey B's in Palmerton—a restaurant featured in the original film—is a must. Known for its bar snacks, pizza, and drinks, Joey B's is a local treasure. Reservations are essential, as this popular spot completes your Hell House-themed evening.
