These exclusive events will allow the preternatural-curious to use their own investigative equipment aboard the storied freighter on Friday, June 13 and Tuesday, August 26 from 8PM – 2AM and cost $75. The historic freighter, with its imposing steel hull and shadowy corridors, has long been rumored to harbor ghosts. Numerous paranormal investigators have documented unexplained phenomena throughout the vessel, including temperature fluctuations, disembodied voices, and shadowy figures glimpsed in the outer passageway. Paranormal tour tickets are $75 per person. To participate, attendees must sign a contract and waiver. Group tours allow the Irvin to accommodate the many paranormal investigation requests that cannot be fulfilled through individual tours, providing an opportunity for as many investigators as possible to access the freighter.
