Volunteer Work Day Results

It truly takes a village to clean up, do repairs, and make improvements at RHA.  No way would we have come so far in such a short 3+ years without the blood (usually mine, because I'm a klutz), sweat, and tears (again.... usually mine, because I am emotional). As you can see, we have fun too.
Be sure to check back regularly as this page will be updated often.

Night or Day - there's always work to be done, ask Key Volunteer Scott Nash. Scott trims branches from trees so the "NO TRESPASSING" signs are clearly visible.

    October 21, 2026 - Guided Flashlight Tour - 7p-9p - $49p When the sun goes down, Rolling Hills Asylum becomes an entirely different place. Step inside after dark for a guided flashlight tour through the shadowed halls of Rolling Hills Asylum, where nearly two centuries of history, tragedy and unexplained activity surround you. Your guide will lead you through some of the asylum’s most storied—and notoriously active—areas, sharing the history of the property, stories of the people who once lived and worked here, and the documented experiences and paranormal activity that have made Rolling Hills Asylum famous. With the building darkened and only your flashlight to light the way, you'll explore corridors, rooms and spaces where visitors and investigators have reported disembodied voices, footsteps, shadow figures, unexplained sounds, touches and other encounters. And because no two nights at Rolling Hills are ever quite the same... you never know who—or what—may decide to join the tour.

  • Oct 21 October 21, 2026 - Self Guided Ghost Hunt - $49p
    October 21, 2026 - Self Guided Ghost Hunt - 9:30p-Mid - $49p Do you dare roam the halls of Rolling Hills Asylum on your own? Tonight, YOU’RE the paranormal investigator. Following orientation, venture into the asylum and explore its notoriously active rooms, corridors and darkened spaces at your own pace. Go with your group—or find out if you have the nerve to sit alone in the darkness. Follow an unexplained sound. Feel a sudden cold spot. Hear footsteps approaching when no one is there. Catch a voice on your recorder. Feel something—or someone—touch you when you're certain you're alone. The unknown. The unexpected. The unexplained. Your heart pounds a little harder when the lights are out and you realize you don't know what's waiting around the next corner... or standing right behind you. Whether you purchase some gear from our website or on site gift shop, bringing your own paranormal equipment, or keeping it simple with just your cell phone, a small low light flashlight, and your own senses, everything is real. Including the ghosts. And that's what makes every investigation at Rolling Hills Asylum different. Ticket Info: 18+ with valid ID.
