8 minutesWith its imposing architecture, the Masonic Temple is steeped in mystery and legend. Known for its labyrinth of secret rooms and corridors, the temple is rumored to be haunted by the ghost of its architect, who tragically took his own life within its walls.
7 minutesThis decaying mansion, once home to the eccentric millionaire James Scott, is now a hotspot for ghostly sightings. Locals believe that Scott's vengeful spirit still roams the grounds, a sinister presence clinging to his legacy of spite and mischief.
8 minutesDetroit Symphony Orchestra
Named for its elusive and spectral appearance, the Grey Ghost is said to be haunted by the spirits of long-lost patrons. This former speakeasy, hidden in plain sight, carries with it the dark secrets of the Prohibition era and the souls who never left.
