Experience the Otherworldly History of Blowing Cave Mill on a Private Tour


Make the historic Blowing Cave Mill yours for an exclusive after-hours paranormal investigation with your private group of up to 6 guests. Explore the mill at your own pace while using investigative equipment, examining reported unexplained activity, and creating your own evidence and experiences along the way.

With no other guests joining your group, you’ll have the freedom to investigate together, compare observations, and follow the evidence wherever the night leads. Whether your group consists of experienced investigators, curious skeptics, or first-time explorers, this private experience offers an intimate opportunity to investigate one of Sevier County’s historic landmarks after dark. Paranormal activity is never guaranteed-the investigation is yours to discover.
