Haunting at the Quincy Hoist House - Michigan Tech Theatre

MICHIGAN TECH THEATRE SERIES EVENT

Tickets are available through the Quincy Mine Hoist Association at quincymine.com

Something Spooky has taken hold of the Quincy Hoist House, and the spirits of miners past are restless. This year’s haunted experience pulls you deep into the historic halls of one of the Keweenaw’s most iconic landmarks, where the ghosts of those who worked there refuse to leave. This isn’t just a walkthrough—it’s an interactive experience where you become part of the story. Do you have what it takes to face what lurks in the shadows? Or will the ghosts of the Quincy Mine claim another soul?
