TWO OF OUR INVESTIGATORS WENT TO HISTORIC FORT WAYNE IN DETROIT FOR AN OVERNIGHT INVESTIGATION. THEIR FINDINGS ARE SHOWN BELOW.

THIS FORT-A RARE AND SACRED GEM IN DETROIT'S HISTORY-WAS BUILT BETWEEN 1843 & 1849 TO GUARD AGAINST THREATS BY BRITISH CANADA. DETROIT WAS THE CAPITOL OF MICHIGAN UNTIL 1868. THE FORT SITS ON ALMOST 90 ACRES ALONG THE DETROIT RIVER AT THE FOOT OF LIVERNOIS AVE. THE FORT WAS NEVER USED IN BATTLE. HOWEVER, IT DID PLAY IMPORTANT ROLES AS A TRAINING & RECRUITMENT CENTER IN THE CIVIL WAR, WWI, WWII, & THE VIETNAM WAR. IT IS CONSTRUCTED IN A SPANISH STYLE STAR SHAPE. ABOUT 1500 SOLDIERS DIED AT THE SITE, MOSTLY FROM SICKNESS. THREE WERE HANGED HERE FOR MURDER & RAPE. THERE ARE 3 INDIAN MOUNDS ON THE GROUNDS. MANY BUILDINGS HOUSE ARTIFACTS FROM DETROIT'S HISTORY. THE FIRST EVER SILENT FILM SHOWN IN DETROIT WAS AT THE THEATRE ON FORT PROPERTY.

FORT WAYNE COVERS ALMOST 90 ACRES. THERE ARE MANY BUILDINGS ON THE PROPERTY INCLUDING A ROW OF HOMES CALLED "OFFICERS ROW" WHERE OFFICERS HAD THEIR QUARTERS. THERE IS ALSO "NCO ROW" WHERE NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS STAYED. THE FORT ALSO HAD A HOSPITAL, THEATER, AND VARIOUS OTHER BUILDINGS-MOST OF WHICH STILL STAND TODAY. SOME ARE USED AS STORAGE FOR ARTIFACTS FROM THE CITY OF DETROIT, SUCH AS STATUARY. ONE BUILDING EVEN HOLDS THE FIRST WOODEN HYDROPLANE BOAT TO RACE ON THE DETROIT RIVER. THIS FORT HAS MANY HIDDEN TREASURES WITHIN IT!
