The Ghosts of Kalamazoo Historic Tour will finally be returning October 22, 2021, from 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. for a historic walking tour of WMU's East Campus and the former Kalamazoo State Hospital grounds. The tour in the past has been a lot of fun and doesn't necessarily set out to frighten anyone, rather, it mainly aims to provide history with a twist...the weird, the haunted, and the historic stories found throughout Kalamazoo:

We’re a change of pace from the typical October haunted attraction scene. We’re not trying to frighten anyone, promise any spiritual encounters, do any “Ghostbusting”, etc. There are a TON of great and weird stories around Kalamazoo, and it’s our mission to tell them! Your ticket will be good for a 45-60-minute walking tour around downtown Kalamazoo. Tours depart the starting location every twenty minutes with the last tour leaving at 8:00 pm.
