Tours offer Halloween enthusiasts visits to former psychiatric hospital and funeral home

Guided investigations let visitors use EMF meters and explore embalming rooms, while family members criticize turning former care sites into Halloween attractions.

  • Halloween enthusiasts seeking the "real" thing are visiting Eloise Asylum in Detroit and Mortuary Manor in Toledo, Ohio, for guided paranormal investigations with rented equipment.
  • Justin Cox, founder of Michighost Paranormal, leads tours through the Kay Beard Building at Eloise Asylum, believing that trauma leaves energy, which creates hauntings at the site.
  • Lead makeup artist Lexi Carter said watching EMF readers fluctuate was "wild," while guests report being touched, grabbed, and whistled at during paranormal tours.
  • Operations manager Cory Leibenguth noted the 60,000-square-foot Mortuary Manor, formerly Urbanski Funeral Home, provides modern amenities like Wi-Fi that "sets us apart from some of these other abandoned locations."
  • Guests willing to pay $200 can spend the night in a five-room suite at Mortuary Manor, which will host its first wedding in November on Friday the 13th.
