THE STORY
Reported Haunting
Security staff at the Detroit Institute of Arts have reportedly heard unexplained thuds and other noises after hours, with activity often associated in local lore with the African art galleries.
The Detroit Institute of Arts is one of the city’s major cultural institutions. Its paranormal reputation is lighter than many locations in this batch, but Detroit Metro Times records reports from security staff of loud thuds and unexpected noises when galleries are otherwise quiet, with stories often focusing on the African art collection near the Nail Figure. The claims are anecdotal and no supernatural explanation is established.
