Like so many other asylums that started in the early 1800s, this was first a poor farm and then became an asylum, sanatorium and psychiatric hospital. At its height, the facility stretched out over 900 acres with 78 buildings, making it the largest psychiatric facility in America. Eloise became a decaying former mental hospital, but is today a haunted attraction with escape rooms and it hosts historical tours and paranormal investigations. Stories of spectral activity are numerous and this is one of the most haunted places in the Detroit area. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of the Eloise Asylum!

The Bastille is a former jail that dates back to the Wild West and ran as a jail for nearly 70 years. The building has had many iterations after it closed as a jail. This was an art gallery, a restaurant, a bar and a nightclub. Today, it stands empty and in need of major renovations. This may or may not please the current residents of the building, the ghosts. For years, ghost stories have been told about the building. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of the Hanford Bastille.

The Novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" was written by Harper Lee in 1960. The story details a black man accused wrongly of the rape of a white woman. It was as though Harper Lee had heard the true story of Robert Milton. Milton was a black man accused of rape by a white teenager in 1920s Mississippi. He was convicted and executed and most people believe he was an innocent man. Perhaps that is why he haunts the courthouse where he was hanged, the Old Tishomingo County Courthouse. Join us for this compelling story of how rape was treated in the 1920s, how racism biased a jury and the history and hauntings of an old southern courthouse.
