This has probably been asked a million times.(I'm not savvy enough to find out) I am looking for any haunted places in my area. Shores, Eastpointe, ETC. Just looking to get the creeps and maybe actually stop being so skeptic. I'm sure there are a lot of stories out there. I've done some research but it all seems so corny. If anyone knows of a place that would scare the daylights out of a skeptic, besides Mcnichols and Gratiot  I would appreciate it. | ||

Hmm, Grand River & Greenfield scares me more than 6 mile & Gratiot. Anyway, There looks to be a decent haunted house at Macomb Mall (near the old Crowley's). | ||

The cemetery in downtown Farmington is haunted, on Grand River just west of Shiawassee. http://maps.google.com/maps?f= q&hl=en&geocode=&q=farmington, +mi&ie=UTF8&ll=42.470134,-83.3 85372&spn=0.001792,0.003455&t= h&z=18 If you come in the western entrance, continue forward until you begin to go up the large hill. Stop and put your car in neutral. Your car will roll down that hill and continue to roll back UP the hill behind you. Once you find the sweet spot, you can just roll up the hill. I told my kids that there's a grave under the road there, and the ghost is pushing you off of his grave... | ||

Back in 1930, you could have visited "Boyer's Haunted Shack" in downtown Detroit next door to the Broadway Market on Broadway, between Grand River and Gratiot [map]. By August of 1941, you would have had to traveled to East Warren and Audubon to visit them. (Message edited by Mikeg on October 25, 2008) | ||

Supposedly, the cemetary next to the old Eloise complex is haunted. Also, if you go down Denton Rd in Canton, and park near the bridge, you can hear babies cry, and see ghost lights | ||

Isn't the Cadieux Cafe, the Hilberry, Theater, The Whitney and the Scarab Club haunted as well? | ||

Ok, I went to Dunns Tomb one day by myself. Granted, it was daytime, but still... Got out of the car and walked right up to it. Looked spooky. Did not really feel spooky, I just felt uneasy because it looked so spooky and had already heard some of the folklore. One posting online said a kid died in there on a dare and his ghost will follow any black car in the area thinking its his buddy picking him up.I had a black car, and no ghost ever came after me, nor did the car in any way seem haunted after that. Lots of stories are out there about Scripps Rd and further north, Blood Rd in Metamora. One night, around 11:30, my brother and I went down both to see if we could find anything. Nada. The stories are much more intriguing than reality,Im afraid. | ||

Blood Road runs into Rock Valley Rd between Metamora and Dryden. There was an old barn out there where they say a man killed his girlfriend and then hung himself.We used to cruise out there back in the 70's. Back then, you could still find the road, sort of. It was often a two tracker. Now, it's over grown completely in some places. The scariest part was losing the road and ending up in a field and not really knowing how to get back out. | ||

This site is a little dated, 5 + years since the school was proposed : http://www.strangeusa.com/View Location.aspx?locationid=5467& desc=Redford,%20Mi%20Location% 20Type%20Haunt%20Mi I wonder if the founding pastor haunts the new owners (as he did myself when he WAS alive) Update- Archdiocese 'allowed' St Agatha to borrow over a mil from them that they could not repay, to keep the H.S. open. THEN they said "Time to close up the entire parish, you cannot repay your debt" Put on market for about 5 mil, though I doubt Ellis Academy paid asking price, Greater Grace has a way of negotiating real estate bargains. Golf Courses, Synagogues, Churches, abandoned amusement parks.... | ||

Battlegrounds have more paranormal activity, in my opinion. There are 2 in the area. One is at Elmwood Cemetery (Battle of Bloody Run) which would be kind of hard to do after dark, and the other is in Monroe, here's the link: River Raisin Battlefield I visited a cemetery in Niagara Falls a few years ago, it was the site of what is known as the "Canadian Gettysburg" Was during the War of 1812. You could feel the confusion, quite noticable. (Message edited by townonenorth on October 25, 2008) | ||

Try the Scotch Settlement Cemetery on N. Kidder Rd. just south of Almont and north of Romeo just east of M-53. There has been documented cases of Paranormal activity in the old boneyard. An added bonus is an upscale sprawl-sub going up behind the east end of the graveyard. Maybe some poltergeist action from the disturbed ungrateful dead. Also check out the cool obelisk nearly hidden by overgrowth on the east end. Misfits and pariahs were said to be interned on the outskirts of cemetery property. | ||

I,m outta the loop, Greater Grace owns ST.Aggies?. But back to the hauntings I,VE heard of Dunns Tomb. Being on the West Side and living by the old Eloise Complex. I would have to say there are alot of scary{paranormal} stories out there. | ||

True-hit, with this one. Son & I visited the cemetery on October 17th - specifically, the area surrounding Parent Creek...extremely unusual vibe; must be visited to be appreciated. | ||

Just a few yards from Dunn's tomb out in the middle of no where - the grave of the World Trade Center architect, Minoru Yamasaki. (Message edited by Bigb23 on October 26, 2008) | ||

Ive been on those sites plenty of times. What an embarrassment. Typos left and right, and major spelling errors. Then they have to update them. One site (I think Shadowlands) reported that Troy Athens High School was haunted by a kid driving a Dodge Spirit that got decapitated one morning driving through a closed gate. Turns out, the kid is actually alive. I wonder if he himself emailed the site to clear things up. "Hey boss, the ghost emailed me." I find it interesting that such a high number of schools are on there. I think there were several just in Dearborn/Dearborn Heights alone. Novi High school is one, at least one in Livonia (Franklin), and many colleges. | ||

Dunn's Tomb is at Lakeville Cemetery? May have to go revisit that place. I actually stumbled upon (literally!) Mr. Yamasaki's grave last year and submitted photos to findagrave.com I've also heard of the Denton Road bridge in Canton. I just drove by that last week and thought of it. I should check that out one day. Also, the Denton Cemetery nearby is where the body of Jane Mixer was found. I thought she was one of the "Michigan Murders" victims but maybe I'm wrong. | ||

For 30 years, they treated Jane Mixer as one of John Norman Collins' victims, but her niece started doing research on her murder, and a new suspect was found and convicted in 2005. Here's a link to the case Jane Mixer | ||

Has anybody besides me ever heard of a haunted spot on strasburg st near 7mi? | ||
Sludgedaddy Member Username: Sludgedaddy Post Number: 197 Registered: 01-2008 |
Whittier70....the notorious spot on Strasburg was known as "Knock-Knock" Street. Driving down Strasburg produced loud knocking noises said to have been the body of a child struck by a car and then drug for a good distance still alive and pounding on the car's fender. A hollow spot in the road was later found to be the cause of the eerie effect. Similar tales of this type of haunting abound in urban legend. | ||

My Mom said she used to go down "knock-knock"st back in the 50,s. A former co-worker of mine showed me the house on Martin St where there was some reported hauntings in the early 60,s. My Mom also said she heard about that one also back then. | ||
