Hancock, Michigan

The Quincy Mine on Quincy Hill above Hancock opened in 1846 and became one of the most productive copper mines in the world. Many miners were hurt or killed in its shafts, including accidents at the No. 2 shaft, which was sunk from 1856. Visitors and tour guides describe an unseen hand gripping a shoulder near the No. 2 shaft and other unexplained feelings around the mine buildings. The Quincy Mine Hoist Association, with Michigan Tech, produces a fall haunted event, including a walking Haunted Smelter, though that program is staged entertainment built on the mine's very real history.
Surface and underground tours run in season, with a fee; the Hoist Association also runs fall Halloween events. Check its site for dates and tickets.
