The experience begins in the chapel where those who have personally confronted the spectral mysteries share their encounters.

Step into a realm cloaked in darkness, illuminated by the glow of candles. Explore the estate’s hidden corners as they come alive with the secrets of the past. During this 90-minute self-guided expedition, participants access areas rarely revealed to the public and can use an EMF detector, infrared thermometer, or REM Pod.

Only the first floor of the mansion and carriage house are handicap accessible. All other floors are accessible via stairs only.

About the mansion

The Carriage House was built in 1917, and mansion was finished in 1928.

Construction of the mansion began in 1925 by Dorr E. Felt, inventor of the Comptometer, the first machine that could do all four functions — add, subtract, multiply and divide.

Felt’s wife Agnes died in 1928. Dorr died a year-and-a-half later.

After his death, the estate eventually became a seminary for the Augustinian order then a state prison and Michigan State Police post before the property was purchased by Laketown Township.

The mansion has been restored and is a top wedding and event destination.
