Events & Sponsorship

A note about Event Sponsorship-

We appreciate your support of our events. At Soul Circle, our goal is to provide smaller opportunities for like-minded individuals to network and create connections to each other that last beyond the time we spend at a location. Keeping our event attendance intentionally limited in numbers is a choice, and maintaining reasonable ticket prices is a priority for us too. As a result, we often come out of pocket to pay the balance between the costs of providing the experience and the amount generated from ticket sales. As a sponsor, you are helping to bridge the gap and partnering with us to create these life changing adventures for those who attend.

Asylum 49 is September 25th-27th, 2026

You will find Full Event details first, followed by Thursday Night Only Public Ghost Hunt details.

Welcome to Asylum 49!

Full Event Info:

We will cap attendance at this event to 35 ticket holders, so get yours soon!

Special thanks to our Presenting Sponsor BeaconTV! Please check out StreamBeaconTV.com and subscribe for access to all the best in Paranormal and True Crime programming! Beacon is responsive to YOU and what you want to see on your screen and is truly a streaming service that is a Beacon for fellow searchers!

Additional thanks to our Star Sponsor Beyond Reality Productions. Please extend your support to our sponsors and know that they represent the best of what the field has to offer.

Our special guests are Richard Estep, Shane Pittman, Aaron Sagers, and Sarah Lemos!

This location is a 98,000 sq ft former hospital. Half is now a mini mall on what used to be the nursing home side, and the other half is the haunted house. The middle is known as "the green mile" with the old operating rooms and a museum.

This event will be hosted by Aaron Sagers and will feature a gallery reading with Sarah Lemos, a presentation from Richard Estep (who wrote the book on Asylum 49), and an activity with Shane Pittman. Plus you get two nights of investigation of Asylum 49 and your ticket includes VIP admission to the haunted house experience as well. You can find more details in the Tentative Schedule section to the right. Please note that logistics often change right up until the event starts, and we appreciate your flexibility. You should plan to arrive by Friday midafternoon, and the last event activity will be the Saturday night investigation that extends into the early morning Sunday.

For the investigations, you will be broken into smaller groups that rotate through the location so that all ticket holders aren't in the same space at the same time to allow for better quality investigation experiences. If you are traveling with friends and want to be in the same group, please let Tara know who you are requesting to be with by emailing tleebohren@gmail.com with that info.

Please also note that all of the presentations, activities, and investigations of this event are only open to ticket holders. This ensures that the folks who paid to attend are able to network with each other and with our special guests.

There is not an "official" event hotel, so you are free to stay at whatever accommodations work best for you near Asylum 49. All event activities will occur onsite at the hospital.

Please reach out to Tara with any questions that you have. You will not receive tickets in the mail or virtually, you will receive your access badge when you check in at the event, and the event reminders will come to you via email a week prior.

Tickets will be NON-REFUNDABLE so please make sure you are ready to purchase before you do so.

Thursday Night Only Public Ghost Hunt Info:

Come investigate the asylum for one night with Richard Estep, Shane Pittman, and Sarah Lemos. You've interacted with them online, read their books, and seen them on your TV... now come spend time with them in person!

If you are purchasing a Thursday Night Only ticket, please arrive at Asylum 49 and check in on the mall side between 7:30-8:00pm. We will have a Q&A opportunity for you followed by a tour to orient you to the location, and then you will have a chance to investigate with each of the three special guests (Shane Pittman, Richard Estep, and Sarah Lemos) between 10:00pm and 1:00am. Feel free to secure lodging for the night at any Tooele hotel if you want a short drive after we wrap up.

*Full Event Ticket Holders are welcome to buy a ticket to this separate event as well if you want an extra night of adventure.

Frequently Asked Questions For All Events

Please reach us at tleebohren@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Refunds

Tickets are non-refundable, unless the entire event is cancelled. There will not be refunds due to changes in celebrity guests, locations, or weather. However, if you need to transfer your ticket to someone else you are welcome to make those arrangements and let the event coordinator know.

Location and Celebrity Guests

All locations and celebrity guests are subject to change. We do our best to minimize this risk, but it can occur that a celebrity guest has to cancel their participation in the event due to scheduling conflicts related to filming (for example). If a celebrity guest has to withdraw from the event, we will post an announcement immediately. You will have an opportunity to investigate all the event locations, and to spend time with the special guests in either investigations or other activities.

Tickets and Registration

You will receive your event access pass at registration. Nothing will come in the mail, but you will receive an email confirming your purchase.
