Few places in Florida feel as intense after dark as a historic jail. The Old Gilchrist County Jail in Trenton, Florida is one of them.
Built in the early 1900s and closed in 1968, this two-story jail once housed inmates under harsh conditions that led to violence, unrest, and decades of reported paranormal activity. The structure remains remarkably intact and has drawn serious investigators from across the country, including a feature on Sam and Colby's YouTube channel, one of the most watched paranormal investigation channels in the world.
This is not an obscure location. It is a documented one.
Silent Slayer has investigated historic Florida jails before. The Old Hamilton County Jail was a Silent Slayer site until its closure. Gilchrist is the next chapter. And one of our guests already gave Cynthia a name for when she runs an overnight jail investigation. They call her the Warden.
This investigation runs from 8:00 PM to 3:00 AM with just 8 guests and two of Silent Slayer's most experienced investigators. Cynthia Dominick, founder and certified tour guide, and Teppei Namiuchi, paranormal tech specialist, quantum physics enthusiast, and the man who captured the famous black orb at the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. Together they bring 25+ pieces of professional equipment including the Alice Box, Ovilus, SLS Camera, Phasm Camera, Portal, Spirit Boxes, REM-Pods, MEL Meter, TriField EMF, K2 EMF, Dowsing Rods, Pendulums, Automatic Writing Planchette, and Trigger Objects.
Guests explore the original cell blocks, the sheriff's office, the jailer's quarters, and the dungeon. A small, dark space beneath the stairs that consistently draws the strongest reported activity in the building. After a full lighted walkthrough the investigation goes dark. What happens from that point forward depends on the night, the group, and whoever is still present in those cells.
Guided Estes Method and Portal sessions included. Whether this is your first investigation or your fiftieth, you will leave knowing more than when you arrived.
Bring snacks, water, and comfortable clothing. Electricity is on site. There is a bathroom. Directions included with booking confirmation. Trenton, Florida is worth the drive.
