Michigan Ghost Tours

There are ten ghost tours in Michigan.That is a lot more than I would have expected from growing up there.I don’t think I encountered any ghosts.But it is pretty spooky in the Metro Detroit area.So I’ll let you form your own opinion from this list of ghost hunts, ghost walks, haunted house tours, trolley tours, and cemetery tours.

Here are the Michigan ghost tours that I have found:

Ann Arbor Ghost Walk with Sivan - Ann Arbor, MI

Go on a Ghost Tour with Sivan! You’ll meet on the U-Michigan campus to embark on some ghost hunting. Walk around, stopping at 6-8 locations on campus and downtown that have been witness to seriously creepy events throughout the centuries and close out the tour at a haunted bar, where you are free to grab a drink and see if you can witness the same apparition that the owners and employees have been seeing for more than 25 years. Ann Arbor is surprisingly creepy. What makes the tales on this tour even scarier is that they are all based on true stories and events, personally curated from local history books, dusty records from the 1800s, and a 300-page police blotter. Once you start digging around, the local hauntings rise up from every page and corner.
