Historic Fort Wayne never saw battle and its sprawling buildings, acreage, and history add to its creepiness factor. Rumor has it the bathrooms in the visitors center are haunted (for real). Are there ghosts still wandering the grounds? Their tours hint that there might be.

Abandoned hospitals are always creepy—and probably haunted. Southwest Detroit Hospital, later United Community Hospital, was built in the 1960s when several small black-only hospitals merged to form this larger one. Due to financial struggles, it closed in 2006 and has been quickly decaying. It’s a popular spot for urban explorers who have found medical records of, we can only assume, ghosts that haunt the building.

David Whitney Jr. and his wife both died in this storied mansion, and many believe they still inhabit the elevator and second and third floors. Ghost hunters have searched the massive grounds. If you hear utensils, look around. Is there anyone there?

One of Harry Houdini's last performances was at the Majestic, and some say his ghost still haunts the theater.

In 1905, Rose Barron made biscuits with arsenic and poisoned many families in the Alhambra Apartments, killing two. She was acquitted after a long trial, and some say the two people killed still haunt the building. If they ever end up being redeveloped, will it stir up some ill feelings in the ghosts?

Apparently, Old Al, a one-eyed, drunk homeless man, became mired in a 4-foot deep sludge of human waste here. He died stuck in that waste, but regulars around the hotel said that they saw him walking around in the alley after the incident.

The ghost of Col. Philetus Norris is said to haunt the 2 Way Inn, which has served as a jail, general store, and dance hall. Norris was quite the Renaissance man, as he's known as a Civil War spy, poet, Ohio legislator, superintendent of Yellowstone, and surveyor. He managed the land by McNichols and Mt. Elliot after the Civil War and built the 2 Way Inn. If you see a ghostly cowboy in that area, that could be him.

This location once housed a cult-like and mostly made-up religion created by self-proclaimed prophet Benny Evangelist (Benjamin Evangelista). In 1929, Evangelista was found sitting nearly decapitated at his desk. His wife and four small children were found murdered upstairs. No one was ever charged with the crime.

Elmwood Cemetery is the site of the Battle of Bloody Run, an ambush by Chief Pontiac’s army on British soldiers. The fallen British soldiers caused the nearby creek to run red with blood. As one of Michigan’s oldest cemeteries, it’s pretty spooky this time of year, with the leaves crunching underfoot and the wind howling around the statues and mausoleums.

Although not technically part of Detroit (or the U.S., for that matter) Peche Isle is still a mysterious part of the Detroit River horizon. Lying just East of Belle Isle, it is a completely uninhabited marshy island. Once a potential home of Hiram Walker of whiskey-making fame, he and his family quickly abandoned the unfinished mansion when the rumors of the Island's long-standing "curse" started taking its toll on his family.
