Properties
You own a building with a story. We turn it into a working attraction — investigations, stays, tours, and events — and we run the whole operation so you don't have to.
The Portfolio
Three buildings. One operation.

An old building
eats money
Historic properties cost money to stand still. Taxes, roof, heat, insurance — all of it going out, none of it coming back, every single month the doors stay shut.
Meanwhile the one asset the building actually has, its history, sits there doing nothing. People will pay real money for a night inside a place with a documented past. They do it every weekend, all over the country, in buildings less interesting than yours.
The reason most owners never capture that isn't the building. It's that running an attraction is a whole second job — booking, staffing, marketing, liability, and somebody awake at 3 a.m. making sure twelve strangers behave themselves.
That second job is the part we do.
The ArrangementYou own it.
You own it.
We operate it.
You keep the deed and the upside. We take a management share of what the property earns, which means we only do well when the building does well.
No up-front management fee. If we don't think we can make your property money, we tell you at the walkthrough and we both go home.
Tell Us About ItFour Ways It Earns
Revenue Streams
One building, four different audiences, most of them paying for the same square footage on different nights of the week.
Public Investigations
Ticketed overnight hunts with our crew running the floor. The highest-margin night a building like yours can have, and it repeats every weekend.
Overnight Stays
Small groups book the whole property. Equipment provided, house rules enforced, and somebody from our team on site until lockup.
Guided Tours
Daytime history tours for the people who want the story without the 3 a.m. part. Different audience, same building, no extra staffing burden on you.
Private Events
Weddings, film shoots, corporate nights, and seasonal runs. A property with a documented story books at a rate an ordinary venue can't ask for.
How It Works
Four Steps
Walkthrough
We come out, look at the building, and tell you honestly whether it can carry an attraction. Some can't. We'll say so.
Investigation & History
Our team documents the property and digs the records. This is where the marketable story comes from — and it has to be real, because we put our name on it.
The Plan
Which revenue streams fit, what capacity the building supports, what it needs before it opens, and a straight projection of what it can earn.
We Run It
We operate it. You own it, you collect, and you don't work a single event night unless you want to.
What we handle
- Investigation, documentation, and a verified history you can market
- Booking, ticketing, and payment processing
- On-site staffing and event night operations
- Marketing across the radio show, podcast, YouTube, and our audience
- Safety protocols, waivers, and guest management
- Monthly reporting so you see exactly what the building earned

Months of trading
First event to today
Read on 7 October 2026 and split so you can check it: $50,952 through the old Wix site from December 2025, then $13,981 through our own platform since August, which is $64,933 of ticketed revenue in ten months at one building. Cash taken at the door is on top of that and sits in no system, so it is not counted here. Neither is the $24,000 raised separately for the asylum itself, which is not event revenue and has no business inflating this number.
We run benefits too
Two of the nights we've produced at Emmaus were benefits — one for local families burned out of their homes, one for Stray Rescue of St. Louis.
One set of books
Every ticket runs through a system you can log into, so the split is something you check rather than something you take our word for.
