Face your fears and phobias in the Quincy Mine Haunted Hoist House this weekend. Michigan Tech University’s Theatre Department is curating lights, sounds and animations to resurrect the Halloween spirit of the Keweenaw. Instead of relying on traditional haunted house themes, this event focuses on evoking unsettling sensations through creepy elements like clowns, mannequins and other dolls – and eerie visuals.
