Haunted Hamilton presents this very unique overnight
Haunted Bus Trip to Mansfield Reformatory!
(as seen in the movie, The Shawshank Redemption!)

Join Haunted Hamilton Founding Partner, Stephanie Cumerlato
and Resident Psychic Kate Kingston for a trip you will never forget!

NOTE: You MUST have your PASSPORT to join us on this trip!
If you haven't got one yet, visit the Passport Office in Downtown Hamilton in person
(in person is much faster than by mail - we received ours in less than two weeks!
You should receive your Passport just in time for the trip.
Applying through the mail takes about 4 weeks to receive).

Mansfield Reformatory Preservation Society (MRPS) sponsored Ghost Hunts® are serious, but informal attempts to document paranormal activity at a castle-like former prison.
Ghost Hunts® provide an unusual first-hand experience to search other realms.
Ghost Hunts® at OSR are the first of their kind in the United States.

................................................................................................................................

Our ghostly journey will lead us to the Ohio State Reformatory, which was built between 1886 and 1910. It houses the world's largest free-standing cell block which is six tiers high! The Reformatory remained in full operation until 1972, but wasn't completely closed down until 1990.

Mansfield Reformatory is one of, if not THE most haunted locations in the United States. It is reportedly haunted with several paranormal hotspots including the two chapels, the area around the warden's office, the infirmary and solitary confinement. Over 200 people died at the Ohio State Reformatory, including a few guards who were killed during escape attempts.

The facility gained fame when it served as Shawshank State Prison in the 1994 movie The Shawshank Redemption starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman. It has also been featured in other popular movies including, "Air Force Once", "Tango and Cash" and many others. It has also been featured on tv shows including, "Scariest Places on Earth", SciFi Channel's "Ghost Hunters" with TAPS and other shows on A&E and The Travel Channel.

NOTE: This bus trip is not recommended for pregnant women,
due to the lead-based paints still present at the old jail.

Unfortunately, anyone under 21 is not allowed to attend this trip
due to the rules and regulations set in place by the
Mansfield Reformatory Preservation Society.

We will depart Hamilton via a fully chartered, luxury bus with an on-board washroom facility. We will make several pit-stops along the way until we arrive in Amish Country, Ohio where we will stop at one of Stephanie & Daniel's favourite places for a homestyle dinner buffet! (which is included in the trip cost too!)

After dinner, you have some free time to do some shopping at the various Country Shops and Market's around Amish Country! Make sure you bring some extra cash... there are cute little gift shops and bakeries!

After our dinner/shopping break in Amish Country, we'll continue to wind through the country roads as the dead of night approaches. We'll arrive at Mansfield Reformatory just in time for a personalized tour of the jail before we're "let loose" into the depths of the creepy, dark, and oh, did we mention EXTREMELY HAUNTED building!!
