Grand Rapids Ghost Hunt Tour
Known as the “Haunted Valley of The Grand” by indigenous tribes, Grand Rapids has a unique energy that’s built up over thousands of years. Inside and outside buildings, spirits use that energy to sound louder, touch and tap, upset your stomach, and sometimes even look like live people. Use our paranormal instruments to capture what happens around us outside Grand Rapids’ most active buildings.
