Whispers you can hear without a recorder. Fast moving shadows. Pots thrown. Numerous voices captured on audio from whispers, to radio type sounds, electronic voices and a human voice of a child. Smoke and smell of fire where there is none, during our investigation Finleys Bar offers. Not sure of the cost because my boyfriend paid for the non-refundable tickets.
Friends told us about their experiences on Finleys ghost tour so we chose the investigation hoping we would experience more. We did. It was amazing. The docents Lisa and Brian answered all our questions and as long as we didn't provoke we could use all of our equipment.
Upon entering the cottage it was ice cold like being under water in a lake type of cold. The back bedroom felt unwelcoming and made me uncomfortable, nauseated and dizzy. I don't know what that was about. Lisa used a laser grid which we saw blocked as though something walked by while we were asking questions. Really bizarre was hearing the blinds moving right when we turned our back.
The bar is a little creepy and while we ate before the tour started my hair was pulled which startled me. My boyfriend felt a freezing cold over his legs which I didn't at first then I too experienced it just before my hair was pulled.
We are going back after the first of the year. We drove down from Inveness which is two and a half hour ride but it was worth it-ready to do it again.

A way cool place and worth the drive.
I have also heard of this place, and no, it isn't part of a chain. Thelastresort got it right, it's on that road between Manteca and Stockton.
I've worked in a haunted restaurant and it can be unnerving, but it is definitely interesting. And sometimes fun.
I'm glad you enjoyed your experience. And thank you for sharing. 😊
