Welcome to the Haunted Old Mill Museum website.  The Old Mill Museum, in Dundee Michigan is the newest location to offer public and private ghost hunts, or paranormal investigations in Southeast Michigan!  The Old Mill Museum offers a very unique chance to investigate a building, very rich in history, and paranormal activity. Check our our Evidence Page for evidence groups have collected during their investigations, and we encourage you to submit yours!  Full credit will be given.

The Old Mill Museum is unlike other public ghost hunting locations, as it is still an active museum.  By purchasing tickets to investigate, you will be given a tour of the building, with the history and the paranormal experiences throughout the building and the grounds.  After your tour, you will be free to investigate the building, and grounds at your own pace, even the 2nd and 3rd floor museum!

The investigations run from 8pm-4am, the cost of investigations is $37, which includes your ticket to investigate, as well as dinner, which will be served sometime around midnight.  Drinks can be purchased at the gift shop, please do not bring drinks in.  All tickets are non refundable, with the exception of a reschedule or cancel by the Old Mill Museum.

We offer both public, and private investigations.  Here are the difference between the 2:

• Public Investigations - These investigations are open to the general public, and those you investigate may be mixed with experienced ghost hunting teams, and people with an interest, that haven't investigated previously, or have little experience.  
  • Equipment allowed - Generally handheld, or smaller items.  Things that can be carried in, while we do have a space for you to put your equipment cases and bags, we can not allow the use of larger equipment which will result in the running of wires etc.  This means the use of DVR's, and other similar equipment most likely won't be allowed, without prior written permission.
    • Common equipment would be:
      • EMF Meter
      • Digital Camera
      • Flashlight
      • Audio Recorder
      • Video Recorder(Handheld)
      • Misc Handheld Devices(Such as a PX, Ovulus, Ghost Box etc)

• Private Investigations - These investigations are not open to the general public, and only the team, or group who books will be allowed to investigate.  This ensures that you and your group have the whole building, and grounds to yourself. 
  
  • Equipment allowed - Most equipment you would use to investigate will be allowed, you can bring larger bags, and cases, DVR's, run cameras etc. 
    
    • For private investigation dates not listed on the website, contact us with your suggested dates.  Dates marked Public Investigations can be switched to a private investigation, as long as the date isn't booked.  We do offer many Saturday Nights, and we can in some cases do Friday Nights.  If you wish to have a date not listed, let us know.
  • For Private Investigations, the fee is the same as Public Investigations, $37 per person, however there is a minimum of 10 people, or $370 to book.  There is a $150 non refundable deposit to hold your date, once a date is agreed upon, and the remainder of the money is due 2 weeks before your investigation date. ($220 for 10 people).

*The use of Ouja Boards, Seances, Smudging or similar equipment or actions will not be allowed*

Will equipment be provided, if I don't have any?

Probably not, however in some cases SWPI members may choose to loan someone an item. If this is the case, the item can not leave the Old Mill Museum building without permission, and this must be worked out with the SWPI member at the investigation, unless you have contacted us prior to the investigation date with the issues.

How will the investigations run?

1. The guests will register and pay on the website (Payment via Paypal)
2. Print the e-mail confirmation that is sent to you, as this will be your ticket.
3. On the date, just before the scheduled investigation time, guests will arrive at the mill and be welcomed by Old Mill Museum and SWPI investigation staff.
4. At the scheduled investigation time, a tour will be given.  This tour will include history, and most likely will also include the paranormal side too.  Some groups may choose not to have any paranormal information in this tour.
5. After the tour, you're free to roam and investigate.  Areas roped or taped off are OFF limits.
6. At the scheduled end time, or whenever you so choose, the guests will leave.

Can we leave and come back?

We encourage visitors to stay, most items you may need are on site. You may be permitted to leave, however we do ask you let us know first. If any ID tags or other form of tagging is given to you at the beginning of each investigation to be turned in when you leave, this must be turned in prior to you exiting the property, even if you plan to return.

Where is Dundee?

Dundee is located right off US23, at exit 17 in Southeast Michigan.
