Program Description

Event Details

Join Paranormal Historian Julie Rathsack, West Michigan’s leading voice in haunted history with more than three decades of investigative experience. Julie is the author of A Haunted History of Grand Rapids (2024), The Ghostly Tales of Grand Rapids (2025), The Ghostly Tales of Indiana’s Cemeteries (2026), and co‑author of Ghosts of Grand Rapids. Through Lifted Veil Paranormal Investigations and the West Michigan Ghost Hunters Society, she has spent over thirty years uncovering the spectral secrets behind local legends — one haunted cemetery, historic building, and ghost tale at a time.
In this presentation, Julie takes a closer look at a couple of stories featured in A Haunted History of Grand Rapids, peeling back the layers of myth and documented truth. The program concludes with a fascinating glimpse into real paranormal investigations, including some of the most compelling evidence her teams have captured over the years.
