JACKSON, Mich. (WLNS) -- A Halloween-season ghost tour is doubling as a fundraiser for downtown Jackson, and organizers say it’s drawing brave visitors to a historic site.

In partnership with the Downtown Development Authority, Central Michigan Paranormal Investigators (CMPI) has returned to the Commercial Exchange Building with guided tours that use K‑2 meters and REM pods to detect unusual activity.

“I thought it was a real person. That’s how solid she looked,” said CMPI founder and lead investigator Rusty Jones, recalling an encounter a decade ago. Jones says he first witnessed spirit activity in the building’s front stairwell: “I actually saw a full-body spirit going from the first to the second floor. We’ve had doors open; we’ve heard people walking above us.”
