I ain’t afraid of no ghost. Are you?

Like the idea of our Notorious 313: Haunted 6th Precinct Tour but want to delve deeper into ghosts and the paranormal? Then our Notorious 313: Night In Jail Tour is designed especially for you!

The night starts with a 1.5-hour history tour of the former 6th Precinct featured on the Travel Channel show “Most Terrifying Places.” Known as “The McGraw Station,” the 6th saw its share of murder, mayhem, crooks, corruption, graft, civil unrest, and more throughout its 75-year history in service.

Afterwards, we seek out the spirits – evil and otherwise, which lurk within the walls of this 26,000 square foot former police precinct, jail, and gang squad headquarters. According to dozens of experienced ghost hunters and previous tour attendees, the 6th is home to unexplained phenomena such as touching by unseen entities, flying stones, unattributed whistling noises, temperature changes, etc.

A few attendees even reported being cursed at by hostile entities via voices coming through the spirit boxes. One attendee claimed “someone or something” inverted his Covid mask. He was so freaked out by this incident; he left the mask behind. It’s now on display in one of our many cabinets housing various precinct artifacts.

We’re pleased to again be working with some of the best Paranormal Groups in the region. You may have watched their livestreams, seen them on various popular TV shows, or tuned into their podcasts.

• Your patronage supports the restoration efforts of tech entrepreneur Ed Steele to return this once beautiful building to its former glory and convert it into a Cloud Computing Data Center.
• Tours begin promptly at scheduled times. Due to our small staff, we may not be able to accommodate latecomers.
• Free, well-lit street parking is available on the street adjacent and behind the precinct. City Tour Detroit and Historic 6th Precinct Restoration Project are not responsible for any loss or damage to vehicles or contents.
• This is a historic precinct tour, not a haunted house. The facility may be dimly lit for ambience, but there will be no gruesome vignettes or people jumping out to scare you. It’s creepy enough! (We can’t account for what the spirits may do though).
• While the building structure is solid, the interior was stripped by scrappers when it was closed in 2005, so don’t expect a finished interior filled with beautiful architectural elements.
• The heating system in this 26,000 square foot building is limited. If it’s cold outside, it will be cold inside. Dress appropriately.
• While we can relay the stories of ghosts and unexplained phenomena, we can’t guarantee the appearance of ghosts or other supernatural entities. They don’t always like to appear on command.
• All attendees will be required to sign liability waivers and media/photo releases before entering the building.
• No admission to those who are under the influence of alcohol or drugs or are unruly.
• No weapons allowed.
• COVID-19 guidelines will be enforced, so please wait in your car until 30 minutes prior to tour start time. Social distancing and mask-wearing will be enforced. No admission if coughing or sick.
