FAQ

We've done our best to anticipate and answer questions you may have. If you have a question which isn’t answered here, please email us at whispersestate@gmail.com.

How much does a room cost?
Please visit our reservations page for details

 

Is Whispers Estate still a Bed-and-Breakfast?
No. Although the previous owner did label the house as a bed and breakfast, it is no longer such. Overnight visits, paranormal investigations, etc... are still allowed and provided. Overnight visits are provided solely for one of two reasons; 1) paranormal/ghost investigations/hunts, and 2) a party place. Often times, those persons that visit with intent to party have paranormal activity occur.

 

What equipment are we allowed to bring to Whispers Estate?
Just about anything you can think of, or rather anything I can think of. Any typical ‘ghost hunting’ equipment is definitely allowed; K2/EMF meters, digital/analog recorders (both audio/video), Frank’s box, Ovilus, etc... yes, all allowed. If you have a variation of any of these, they’re allowed. Pendulums, Ouija boards, dowsing rods, bones, cards, yada, yada, yada... yes, those too, are allowed. Anything not typical, however, please contact us to make sure.

 

What paranormal equipment/practices/activities are not allowed?
No cleansing, purifying, ‘spirit settling’, etc... The entities in the house, on the property, are here of their own volition, and do not want, and will not allow, anything that might make them angry, got it? No conjuring evil things (call them what you want). Bad-Language provocation (We all know what’s being referred to here, if not email for details).

 

What’s the difference between reserving all rooms and a private investigation?
While reserving all rooms might prevent other visitors from staying in the rooms, it does not guarantee a private investigation. There are many times we have last minute guest that stop by the house and ask for a ‘flashlight’ tour, or simply hang out for a few hours. Only reserving a private investigation will guarantee no one but those persons in your group are allowed on property (not including Whispers Estate host)

 

What is included in a private investigation?
While all guests to Whispers Estate receive a guided tour of the property, along with the history, legend/lore, and paranormal hotspots (both recent and long-standing), a private investigation will guarantee no one but those in your group are allowed on property (not including Whispers Estate host).

 

What do you mean by a “party place”?
Well, just that. Persons/Groups are more than welcome to come to Whispers Estate and just hang out, have a few drinks, cook on the grill, order pizza, whatever. As long as all applicable laws are adhered to (i.e. no one under 21 drinkning, no drugs, noise ordinances), and the party-goers are respectful of the house, furniture and other visitors, you are welcome to have a party here.

 

Is there a refrigerator?
Yes. Guests have access to the fridge and all contents within (just respect other guests’ property). We try to have a varied selection of sodas as ell as bottled water for the guests. Limited quantities of alcohol (beer/wine) are usually available. Hard liquor, however, is not kept on-stock, but you are welcome to bring whatever food/drinks you like.

 

What access to the kitchen is there?
Guests are welcome to make use of the kitchen to cook, heat/cool food/drinks, as desired (again, just respect the privileges). While we do not have unlimited resources for pots/pans/utensils, attempts will be made to fulfill reasonable requests (Just make sure you contact us prior to your visit).

 

What type of paranormal activity are we sure to get during our visit?
Sorry, We can not make any promises/claims to any specific paranormal activities you might encounter.
As any seasoned paranormal investigators can attest to, we can’t flip a switch and have things occur. While the house is actively ‘haunted’, there are nights that nothing occurs. :( Conversely, there are many nights where a lot of paranormal activity occurs before 10-11pm. There are many theories on why activity may/may not occur, but those themselves are theories as well.

 

What are some of the paranormal activities that have occurred at Whispers Estate?
This web site lists a number of the paranormal activities persons have.... experienced, here at Whispers Estate. There are too many to list here, but check out the following links for more info. Reservations, History, Links. 

 

...and, One more time... Just for those that don’t ‘get’ it...
I feel bad having to place the below on this webpage, but I’m honestly worn out answering some questions, so...

  1. Yes... this IS a HAUNTED house... a REAL HAUNTED house. Things, that can not be logically explained, can and do occur here. Your entry into the house is your acceptance that you may get the s#!t scared out of you.
  2. This is NOT a ‘halloween’ HAUNTED house, Got that? There are NO wires, NO piped audio, no actors trying to scare you... here it is... everything you experience in this house (excluding the cruel jokes those in your group may play on you), EVERYTHING that occurs in this house is REAL. Got that? REAL! Got that? Get it! Got it? good.
  3. If you pay for a room, but don’t sleep in one of the comfy beds, too afraid to sleep all alone in a room opting, instead, to sleep in the front parlor (for whatever reason you care to explain to the host or other guests), that’s YOUR CHOICE. (and just between you and me, that’s the sign a GREAT experience, don’t you think? I mean, consider that adrenaline rush you just got! And... uh.. just, uh... just be sure to change your shorts and clean up, ok?)
  4. Some things you may encounter here can shake the very foundation of your upbringing, your religion, your version of reality. If you can NOT deal with this, DO NOT come to this house.
  5. If the above hasn’t sunk in and you’re thinking about calling us asking ‘stupid’ questions like “is this house really haunted”, or “do the things written on your webpage really happen”, or “now, you can guarantee ‘yada, yada, yada...’, right”, Please understand;
    • The actors that portray these historical, and period perfect, characters are in a union.
    • The ghost-actors union guild prevents us from being able to provide a guarantee of any kind.
    • Some of the actors that we employ have families, too, and they sometimes have to call-in sick.
    • I’m a chronically compulsive liar. I just write this webpage for my own amusement. :-P
    • I like using geek-speak like :-), :-P, ..!., Oo, WTF, STFU, WTFAYTA, OMG, FTW!
    • The webmaster has nothing better to do than spend private time writing this.
    • The owner loves spending their income on a house, but don’t have the balls to sleep in.
    • And the most important... This is a REAL haunted house.
  6. Pregnant women and/or persons with health conditions, PLEASE, consider other venues.

If you are still compelled to call and ask a ‘stupid’ question...

  1. No, we can NOT guarantee anything. We can’t flip a switch and turn the ‘ghost-machine’ on.
  2. The paranormal is unpredictable.
  3. There are busy nights and dead night (no pun intended).
  4. We are just as disappointed as the guests whenever we don’t experience activity in the house.
  5. No ‘free’ or ‘compensatory’ visits will be provided if ‘nothing happens’ the night you visit.

Ok... Now if you are STILL thinking of calling and ask a stupid question (anything I’ve already tried to convey on this page), please.... stop, go take a nap, come back, re-read this page and pay particular attention to the comment stating this is a “REAL HAUNTED HOUSE”.

(As long as I’m breaking protocol about commentary on this webpage), Here’s a few more things:

  1. I don’t particularly care to have someone come into my house, talking smack about how kick-ass of a ghost hunter they are, struting around showing off all their ‘ghost equipment’, challenging/daring the entities in this house to ‘prove’ they exist, etc... only to have you pissing your britches when they scare the s#!t out of you.
  2. No one is scared with something they’ve already encountered, because you already have a frame of reference.
  3. Do NOT ruin another person’s experience by trying to be a hero, talking smack, etc...
  4. You have NO IDEA about how things ‘really’ are. NO ONE does. This is all guess work, period.
  5. When you come to this house, ‘relax’, have a drink. Let ‘them’ come to you. Ghost-hunt, huh? no wonder some people never encounter anything paranormal. Ghost-hunt... sounds almost like a ‘coon-hunt, or fox-hunt.
  6. Ok... if nothing paranormal happens, no big deal. It’s a lovely house, in a wonderfully quiet neighborhood. Slow down, have a drink and RELAX for a bit. In fact, having a few drinks will increase your chance of activity.
  7. We can’t guarantee you’ll have anything paranormal occur, but that doesn’t mean the place isn’t haunted. They just might not like you. Please don’t judge the house, or our claims of it being haunted based on one night of inactivity, when so many others continue to have activity. Again... YOU might be the cause for lack of pararnomal activity.
