Valley Camp Is Haunted Ship In Michigan That Offers Tours

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to walk aboard a haunted ship in Michigan? The Great Lake State is home to all sorts of maritime attractions and historical boats, but few are more fascinating than the SS Valley Camp. As you look forward to your next adventure in Michigan, keep this museum and accompanying tour options on your list of spots for spooky fun.

The Museum Ship Valley Camp sits along East Portage Avenue in Sault Ste. Marie.

At the heart of this fascinating attraction is the SS Valley Camp itself, which served as a Great Lakes Freighter for nearly half a century. The ship was launched in 1917 and made her final voyage in 1966.

At a whopping 550 feet long, the vessel will take your breath away before you even set foot inside. That’s right: Valley Camp now operates as a maritime museum that allows visitors to explore aboard.

Once on the freighter, curious guests can check out everything from former crew quarters to an aquarium complete with Great Lakes fish. There’s even an exhibit dedicated to the ill-fated Edmund Fitzgerald.

Of course, with so much history, it’s no surprise that Valley Camp is also home to a few ghost stories. Throughout the years, eerie encounters have convinced some that the ship now holds the spirits of former sailors.

If you’re a fan of haunted encounters, you’re in luck: Valley Camp offers haunted ship tours during the final weekend of October that will make your spine tingle. Tickets are $10 for adults and $6 for children.

During your adventure, you’ll enjoy a guided tour of the boat complete with plenty of spooks and scares. The event will run from 7 until 10 p.m., with tickets conveniently available for purchase upon arrival.

Whether you drop by for a terrifyingly fun tour or simply visit the Museum Ship Valley Camp for a historical experience outside the bounds of the spooky season, you’ll make timeless memories on board.
