Top 10 Haunted Houses in Michigan (and a Few More)

Want to celebrate the spooky season with Halloween activities like a visit to a Haunted Attraction?

We’ve rounded up the best (read: scariest) haunted houses throughout Michigan. These are seriously creepy and only for the brave hearted. Many of them are widely considered to be the scariest haunted houses in Michigan.

You’ll find haunted houses, haunted forests, haunted ships and even an actual psychiatric hospital.

Personal judgment is the biggest “rule” when it comes to haunted houses in Michigan. You know yourself (and your child) the best. What terrifies one person (whether a child, teen or adult) can be hysterical to another. This is not the time for forced fun – family or not.
