Operated by New Jersey Paranormal Investigations · Warwick, New York
Mid Orange Correctional Facility stands on the outskirts of Warwick, New York, at 122 State School Road (property also listed at 900 Kings Hwy). Built in the early 1930s as a boys' reformatory, its brick buildings, echoing corridors and rusted stairwells form an architectural milestone of interwar institutional design. The Adventure: Join New Jersey Paranormal Investigations for a guided night investigation through three floors of cells, a chapel on the top floor, a large mess hall with basement and sub-basement, and dormitory blocks out back. Investigators use K2 meters, REM pods, shadow detectors and other gear—the same kit you see on television—to map anomalous readings and document phenomena. Why go: the facility has a local reputation for apparitions, disembodied footsteps, shadow figures and sudden temperature drops, making it one of the region’s consistently active historic sites for serious investigators and curious visitors alike. On the walk-through you’ll climb staircases, cross uneven floors and stand in rooms where witnesses report voices and touches; physical movement and attention to subtle environmental change are part of the work. Practicalities: check-in and meeting are at 122 State School Road, Warwick, NY 10990; the property is large and group sizes can reach thirty. Participants must be 18–72 years old and able to navigate stairs and debris-strewn surfaces. Bring closed-toe shoes, a flashlight or an airplane-mode phone, water and snacks; you’re welcome to bring personal detection devices. Why it matters: this investigation benefits CancerCare, an organization noted for providing over 150,000 services to people affected by cancer, and bookings support that charity work. Local context: the site’s masonry, institutional layout, and retained early-20th-century chapel give it a distinct material presence that shapes the kinds of reports investigators experience—sound echoes differently in vaulted worship spaces than in concrete dormitories. Safety and respect: investigators are asked to keep to guided areas, avoid touching fragile features, and wear appropriate footwear to prevent injury and minimize damage to an aging structure. For photographers and documentarians the location offers stark contrasts of light and shadow, cracked plaster, and long corridors that frame moments of atmosphere—shoot wide for interiors and use a tripod for low light. Whether you’re a first-time ghost hunter or a veteran investigator, the Mid Orange Correctional investigation is an intense, deliberate evening of exploration that pairs historical architecture with active fieldwork in paranormal research. Doors and stairwells are unlit and the site is not wheelchair accessible, so mobility concerns should be planned for in advance. Wear layers for variable basement temperatures, and expect phone signals to be spotty inside thick masonry. The operator name is New Jersey Paranormal Investigations.

New Jersey Paranormal Investigations conducts immersive ghost-hunting events and investigations based in Burlington, New Jersey. The organization offers a rotating roster of investigations at historic and allegedly haunted locations, including manor houses, museums, hotels, mansions, and a tattoo parlor. Events combine guided history tours, hands-on experiments, and the use of professional paranormal equipment such as K2 meters and thermal detectors. Several investigations are tied to charitable causes, including benefit events for the Center for Hope & Safety and Make‑A‑Wish, and other events that support recovery and community organizations. Trips range from exclusive, limited‑attendance nights—such as an investigation at West Hill Manor restricted to ten participants—to larger public investigations at sites like the Red Mill Museum Village, the Shanley Hotel, and the Strauss Mansion. Age restrictions apply for some events; many investigations require participants to be 18 or older. Investigations are led or guided by trustees and hosts at each location, and certain events feature named hosts, including a tattoo parlor investigation led by Sophia Wescott.

The organization highlights authenticity by partnering with site trustees and established venues, maintaining limited-access events, and promoting safety and charity support during public investigations. Investigations include events at the Ocean County Art Guild, the Samuel Miller Mansion in Columbia, PA, Taylor‑Butler House (Marlpit Hall), and the Strauss Mansion. Several investigations highlight historic significance and public storytelling and education.
