Step into the shadows of Michigan’s capital city on the #1 Ghost Tour in Lansing, where history and hauntings collide in unforgettable fashion. Operating nightly, year-round, this walking tour introduces you to Lansing’s most chilling legends and historic haunts, guided by expert storytellers who bring the city’s past to life with eerie detail. Your ghostly journey begins at the Michigan State Capitol, a grand structure completed in 1879 and long rumored to be haunted by whispers of past lawmakers, staff, and tragic events that unfolded within its walls. Just steps away is the George W. Romney Building, the heart of Michigan’s state government, where reports of shadowy figures and unexplained noises add to its reputation as one of Lansing’s eeriest sites. The towering Boji Tower, built in 1931 as Michigan’s tallest building at the time, holds its own ghostly lore, with stories of spectral residents and restless souls tied to its long history as a hub of commerce and politics. Each of these landmarks offers a unique glimpse into Lansing’s haunted heritage, blending fact, folklore, and spine-tingling accounts of those who may never have left.
As you make your way through Lansing’s darkened streets, your guide will share hair-raising tales of the city’s turbulent past, from tragic accidents to scandalous happenings that left a mark on the capital’s history. Along the route, you’ll explore both iconic sites and hidden gems, uncovering stories of restless spirits tied to locations such as historic government buildings, theaters, and long-standing bars where patrons claim the supernatural is always on tap. While we won’t enter the buildings, this allows the tour to cover more haunted ground and provide you with a broader glimpse into Lansing’s mysterious side. The mile-long walk is filled with carefully researched stories of Lansing’s past, from accounts of death and tragedy to legends of witchcraft and inexplicable phenomena.
More than just a tour, this experience is designed for everyone seeking to connect with Lansing’s darker side, whether you’re a history buff, a fan of the paranormal, or just looking for a fun and spooky evening out. The Lansing Ghost Tour welcomes not only individual guests but also private groups, bachelorette parties, team outings, and special events, making it a memorable option for any occasion. Owned and operated by a USMC Disabled Combat Veteran, and proudly women and minority-led, this tour is as unique in its leadership as it is in its storytelling.
