Visitors can embark on guided paranormal investigations or even set out on their own with rented equipment. Justin Cox, founder of Michighost Paranormal, leads tours of the Eloise Asylum attraction’s upper floors, where patients were treated. The facility began as a 19th-century poorhouse and operated under various names before expanding into a complex with dozens of buildings. Most of the complex's buildings were razed in the 1980s, but a five-story structure known as the Kay Beard Building still stands and is home to Eloise asylum. The former Urbanski Funeral Home, now known as Mortuary Manor, hosted thousands of viewings and services from 1926 until its sale last year.
