MONROE, Mich. – A museum in Monroe is filled with frights, and although it’s perfect for Halloween, the horror here continues year-round.
The Michigan Museum of Horror is a two-story horror attraction -- but museum owner Nate Thompson said it’s not to be mistaken for a haunted house attraction you’d only see around Halloween, and where things are pretend. No, he says the items at the museum are the real deal.
“[We have] 2,500 plus different artifacts around here ranging from different embalming degree certificates from people who passed on many years ago, to old Victorian-era violins,” Thompson said.
Violins, he said, have strings made from cat guts. Most of the artifacts there are from turn of the century, with a history that might make your skin crawl.
“Live In The D” reporter April Morton paid a visit to the museum, and got a first-hand look at the eerie items. For a glimpse of the Michigan Museum of Horror, click the video above, if you dare.
