The headline screamed “POISONING IS MANIA OF WOMAN,” and the woman in question, Rose Barron, poisoned more than ten people at the Alhambra Apartments. The building still stands, though the inside is basically a ruin. Barron was supposedly demoted from her cook’s job at the Alhambra, then a rooming house. She put arsenic in dinner rolls of guests in retaliation. The Call article also says that Barron lost several family members who coincidentally carried insurance policies she benefited from.

The home of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra owes its existence to one of its pioneering directors, Ossip Gabrilowitsch. Gabrilowitsch threatened to quit the orchestra unless a new hall was constructed. Rumors persist that Orchestra Place is haunted by the late conductor’s ghost—visitors and workers in the theater described hearing footsteps with no one else present, hearing mysterious voices feeling inexplicably and suddenly chilled and seeing actual apparitions of Gabrilowitsch backstage. The late conductor, son-in-law of famed American writer Mark Twain, is buried in Twain’s family plot in Elmira, New York.

The basement at Saint Andrew’s Hall, a performance space called The Shelter where Eminem famously got his start, is also known as a ghostly haunt where an angry spirit chases people up the steps. Formerly home to the St. Andrew’s Society of Detroit, a social club made up of wealthy Scots Americans, Saint Andrew’s Hall opened in 1907. As a performance venue, Saint Andrew’s Hall offers a ballroom, 35-foot-long bar, and a VIP balcony with amazing stage views for concerts and other special events.

This Brush Park mansion, the setting for the best indy vampire movie ever to star Tilda Swinton, has developed a weird following on Curbed. It’s maybe haunted, maybe not. But definitely the home to weird vampire memories courtesy of Swinton and company. You can also stay there for $99 a night. We can’t wholeheartedly recommend that, unless you loved the movie to a paranormal degree. For that price, you could get a great hotel room and enjoy 2015 perks like indoor pools and hot tubs, room service, cable, and sometimes even free breakfast. Also, no shared toilet. The house, originally built by Mason and Rice (Albert Kahn’s one-time employers) in 1882, the home was later remodeled by David Whitney Jr.
