If you’ve ever wanted to experience a real paranormal investigation inside a historic haunted hotel, Parting The Veil is your chance to do exactly that. Taking place March 6 and 7 at the 1905 Basin Park Hotel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, this two-night event is built for hands-on investigating, learning from professionals, and spending serious time inside some of the hotel’s most active areas.
This is not a quick walkthrough or a standard tour. Parting The Veil is designed as a “Deep Dive” weekend, with structured investigation blocks, guided sessions, and opportunities to ask questions and compare findings with an experienced team. Whether you’re brand new to paranormal investigating or you’ve done it before, you’ll leave with a better understanding of technique, equipment, and how evidence is evaluated during an overnight investigation.
A Two-Night Paranormal Event, Attend One Night or Both
Parting The Veil takes place over two nights, Friday and Saturday, March 6 and 7. You can attend one night or both, depending on your schedule and how deep you want to go.
Participants will work alongside a knowledgeable investigation team with years of experience exploring the Basin Park Hotel and other haunted locations across the country. Throughout the weekend, the team will guide you through investigation methods, explain the purpose of different tools, and lead structured investigation blocks to help you get the most out of your time inside the hotel.
Guest Psychics, Veteran Investigators, and Hands-On Exploration
This weekend brings together a mix of guest psychics, veteran paranormal investigators, and an experienced team familiar with the Basin Park Hotel’s history and activity.
During the event, you’ll be able to participate in guided investigations throughout the hotel, including time spent in areas known for unexplained experiences. You’ll also take part in expert-led sessions focused on how paranormal investigators approach an active location, what they look for during an investigation, and how potential evidence is reviewed.
Equipment Provided, Or Bring Your Own
You do not need to own paranormal gear to attend. Professional equipment will be available for participants to use during investigations. If you already have your own equipment and prefer to work with what you know, you are welcome to bring it with you.
Check-In, Swag Bag, and Event Extras
Your weekend begins with check-in on Friday afternoon, where you’ll receive your event information and packet. Each participant will also receive a swag bag that includes a pendulum, logbook, and lanyard, which helps you stay organized throughout the weekend’s investigations and sessions.
Saturday Psychic Fair and Group Séance
Saturday adds two fun experiences to the weekend schedule. During the afternoon, the Psychic Fair will be open from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Guests can purchase personal readings directly with participating psychics.
Saturday night also includes a group séance before investigations begin, giving attendees another way to experience different approaches to communication and spirit work during the weekend.
