For paranormal operators
Your ghost hunts

- No HauntStay platform fee
- Run nights at locations you don’t own

Live on HauntStay
Paranormal operators are taking bookings on HauntStay now.
One operator.
Multiple haunted locations.
One platform.
Add the location. Run your events there. You don’t have to own the building.
Run Friday at a historic theatre, Saturday at an old jail, and next month at a haunted manor — all under the same operator identity.
You have the relationships and the permissions; the buildings belong to museums, historical societies, theatres and families. HauntStay keeps the location, the event and the operator as three separate things — so the venue stays the venue, and the event stays yours.
Already see the venue on HauntStay? Ask whoever manages it for permission to run events there — the request is part of adding a night, and they approve or decline it.
One operator
Your identity, your events, your payouts
One account and one reputation, however many buildings you run nights in. Adding a location does not start you over.
Locations you run nights at
A historic theatre
An old jail
A haunted manor
You don’t have to own any of them. For a building somebody else manages, the venue approves your request before you can put a night on sale there.
Pricing
Operators pay no HauntStay platform fee.
HauntStay’s service fee is paid by the guest, on top of your listed price.

Guests pay through Stripe. Each booking’s payout goes to your own connected account and is released after the event has happened, once its refund window has closed.
Your site stays yours
Keep your website.
You have spent years building an audience that knows where to find you. Nothing here asks you to send them somewhere else.
Booking embeds are available for your existing website, so people can book your events without leaving the site they already trust.
On your own site
“Book an investigation”
Your pages, your branding, your audience — with HauntStay handling the dates, the payment and the guest list behind it.
The difference
Built for haunted places.
Not everything else.
General event software can sell a ticket to anything. It has no reason to understand a private overnight investigation, a venue you don’t own, or a waiver that belongs to one night.

Everything a paranormal operator actually needs
You don't have to own the building
Add the haunted location you already have permission to work in. The location, the event and the operator stay three separate things — so the venue stays the venue, and the event stays yours.
One calendar across every location you run
Every event at every location you operate at, in date order, on one operator calendar — not one login per building.
Price it the way you sell it
A flat rate for the group, per person, or a group rate with extra guests beyond it. Deposits and private hire are part of how the booking works, not something bolted on after.
Night-of: guest list, waiver status, message everyone booked
Who is coming, who has signed, and one message to everyone booked on that date — attached to the event you're actually running.

Questions operators ask
- Can I run events at a venue I don't own?
- Yes. Add the location you run events at, and your events there are yours. You don’t have to own the building.
- What if the venue is already on HauntStay?
- Search for it when you add a night. If it is already managed by someone else, you can request permission to run events there, and whoever manages the venue approves or declines it. Once you are approved, you add your own nights at that location and they stay yours — the venue page, its history and its photographs stay with the people who hold it.
- If I duplicate an event, does it copy the dates too?
- No — duplicating copies the setup (what it is, pricing, capacity, policies), not the dates or anything that has been booked. You add the dates for the new one, which is what makes it bookable.
- How do I get paid?
- You connect a payout account during setup — that has to be in place before you can add a location. Booking payments go to that account, and each booking’s payout is released after the event has happened, once its refund window has closed.
Your paranormal business isn’t generic.
