APPEARING FRIDAY ONLY

Julie Rathsack works as a manager of business insights during the day but switches to history buff and ghost fanatic at night. She cowrote the best-selling book Ghosts of Grand Rapids and began doing ghost tours in 2015. She is the vice president and research director for the West Michigan Ghost Hunters Society (founded in 1999) and has investigated countless locations in and outside of Michigan. With all her work on local history and experience with Grand Rapids’ paranormal, Julie is considered the expert on ghosts in her city.
