Ghost Hunting Experience

June-September

Mon, Thur, Fri, & Sat

Want to try your hand at real paranormal investigation? This interactive experience takes you to one of Northern Michigan’s haunted sites, where we’ll use ghost-hunting tools like spirit boxes, EMF detectors, and digital recorders to see what we can stir up.

I’ll guide you through the process and the history behind the location. While nothing is staged — and we can’t promise activity — many guests leave with stories of their own.
